Perspective...
I was thinking tonight about this time of year. Everything about Christmas time fills my heart with warmth.... I love the songs, the decorations, the extra little skip in a person's step. I love the story of baby Jesus and listening to my daughter say her prayers at night and for all the people she is thankful for.
But then I get caught up in the shopping and the stressing and the constant movement of these busy times. I find myself worrying about insignificant things, things that I have no control over and then I take it all out on my husband when he warrants no such deserving. (poor guy)
Then I look at the following pics.....
Little baby A. She is perfect! She laughs and coos and loves the simple things in life like a bottle and blankie. She brings so much joy to so many people and she doesn't even know it :)
She is such a blessing - a true miracle. She was wanted for so long and she was conceived and delivered in the most amazing of circumstances. This baby is truly a gift.

So, I am going to try not to worry about money and presents, and lists of length. I am going to stop and enjoy this time and all it stands for! Love and Happiness and True Gifts.
Especially the ones wrapped in giggles, grins, tu tus and toy trucks :)
Merry Christmas!!!

Happy Halloween...
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween. We had a blast at our house hosting little ones from Wonder Woman to Power Rangers. The adults put forth their best effort showcasing costumes from the awesome 80's to popeye and olive oil :)
good times!!!

Baby P
These are a few shots of baby P at part one of his newborn session. He is 8 days old, beautiful and so sweet. Congratulations to N and J - your little family is perfect!!!

Wedding Day.....
This wedding was gorgeous and I learned so much from Molly as her second shooter (Molly Nevins Photography coming soon). She captured so many beautiful memories and I can't wait to learn more and help out again!
These are a few of the shots I was able to snap :)

14 days old...The beautiful, tiny and sweet Miss L.....

Miss S and Miss E.....
I had a great morning at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve with these two adorable girls. They were full of energy and ready to explore. We even got a little wet. Their mom was such a trooper and I thank her and the girls for a super fun session :)

Ballerina Sam...


My cousin and I finally had a chance to meet up in Downtown Fullerton. She is obviously a gorgeous ballerina (performing for the Anaheim Ballet) and I had a blast capturing her style and grace!

Family Fun...
Today we went to the tennis courts and had a blast! My husband takes our oldest up once a week to play, but this time I wanted to take some pics and hit the ball around with him too.
I can't believe how good she is getting. It is such a joy to watch your kids grow and learn. I thank God for them everyday!
And by the way I am going to be super sore tomorrow because I tried to play like the William sisters my first day back :)

This pic is not edited...I just loved it :)

Miss T and P...
These girls are the BEST. They are always happy, sweet and having a ball goofing around. I have been dear friends with their mom since we played softball in college and I had a great time meeting up with the family!!!

The Beautiful Miss Tisha...
This maternity session was so fun and relaxed. Yorba Regional Park was beautiful and Tisha looked so awesome at almost 7 months pregnant.

35th Wedding Anniversary!
I finally got my parents to smile for the camera :)
It was their anniversary on the 1st and I just want to say I love you mom and dad and you are everything to this family. Thank You!!!

Baby G
Yeah...I was so excited to fly to California and have a session with 7 day old baby G. She is so beautiful and so sweet. I could have stayed all day (which I almost did) :)
love you guys!!! and Congratulations!!!

Mommy and Daddy are so proud :)
