I couldn’t ask for a better way to spend my morning…
THE BEAUTY…
The beauty and her mamma…
I must confess…I secretly think her mamma is just gorgeous…well it’s really not a secret …I actually told Miss Shanna one afternoon while we were walking…I promise I wasn’t trying to pick up on you…lol!

If I must say so myself…I sure have beautiful family members to photograph =) May I introduce my 2 nieces…Rachel and Carli 
I had such a blast spending the afternoon with these beauties…and our assistant Fredrico ( that was the name I gave him) …lol! He was wonderful with assisting with outfit changes…shoe put on’er…. sunglass mirror holder…I think I may have to hire him for future shoots:) I had a difficult time deciding which images to share…so here is another image overload
RACHEL…
CARLI…
And my favorite assistant…doing his job….Rachel doing her lipstick check…and you can see me too
Guarding the changing room… (trying to look like he is guarding some very important people)
Again, it was such a blast…I am sorry I lost my fuel toward the end…darn sinus infection got the best of me

If only I could go back in time… I would go back and savor my kids at the age of 6 – 18 months old…I just love that age…but then again…I love all ages of kids. Having 4 kids has it’s trials but gosh I wouldn’t change it for the world. Last night I was putting the kids to bed and I haven’t been feeling well…so I just wanted to rush through our nightly routine… but as I was helping Jules get undressed from her clothes to her jammies…I savored that tiny moment…because it just hit me…. in a few years…something as simple as helping put their jammies on…is going to be gone. Dear God…please help me remember this when I am pulling my hair out…wanting to change my special name of “mommy”…and when I am doing load after load and load of laundry
I left this session being so grateful…so grateful that my job is chasing around beautiful babies. I mean seriously…do they get any cuter than this…
I just love the look on his face on this image…
And look at these eye lashes…
I just can’t get enough of his “big” little teeth…
Happy Birthday Kaden! We love you!

This is different than what I normally shoot…but I have to tell you I love shooting such beauty…in my eyes… it is art. I was lucky enough to have my beautiful “hot mamma” friend trust me to photograph her.
I am a little late…okay a -LOT -a -late (so not a word) …but I do have a offer for Valentine’s day.
Beautiful Mama of 3…so not fair…I am thinking that I can no longer be her friend

A few of my photographer friends thought it would be fun to go out and shoot each other…umm fun….NOT! Well…I mean…it was fun to hang out…but to be in front of the camera SOLO…was soooooooo difficult…awkward and not fun I think next time we go out and do this…I may need to have a few drinks first..ha! Noel, Mali, and Cindy…thank you for laughs and a wonderful dinner
First up Noel…
Miss Mali...
Sweet Cindy...
And Me….
The distorted group shot…
And Noel’s crafty idea…cracks me up…
I don’t know why …but this image makes me laugh…maybe because I think I look like a horse..ha!!!

Have I ever mentioned how much I love living in California? Just incase I have not….I LOVE CALIFORNIA! The weather is just amazing…the only thing that is missing from this beautiful winter summer weather is my ”tan”…ha! On Saturday the kids begged to bring out our inflatable mini slide… it took some convincing…but I gave in I ran inside to grab my camera…but I just ran it right back inside…because I have my ”fake” polaroid:) I am addicted I tell ya!!! So here it is…our California Winter….don’t be jealous….
The little blondie is my adopted son, Cole. I have always wanted a blonde blue eyed babe…he is the closest I will ever get to it:) We love that kid! Just a little story about him…when we were moving to Texas…he showed up at our door with his suitcase. In his little head, he planned to leave with us:) He even packed a box at home with his stuff….bless his little heart. Thinking about this makes me smile…but I am sure at that time it made me cry

I have been wanting to buy a polaroid camera…I am thinking this one…but I may not need one…now that I found Shake it Photo for my iphone. I just LOVE this app… I think I stayed up to 1:00 a.m. last night playing with it:) I have been feeling blah the last couple of days…I need motivation… I need inspiration…I mean I should be working on my website, branding, business cards, marketing..laundry…cleaning toilets…you get the idea …But I cannot get in the groove… so instead I play with my pretend polaroid..ha! Just thought I would share my new JOY…my surroundings…
xoxoxo

Your probably thinking “huh?”…well my fabulous friend in Idaho, Amanda Andrews decided to dedicate Mondays to blog about her gorgeous kiddos and she invited others to join in. I have been feeling the guilt about not photographing my own babies enough…so Mine on Monday will give me that push:) I am thrilled to steel Amanda’s idea…but I am kind of cheating…because I didn’t take these images….the F A B U L O U S famous, Michelle Anderson of Pinkle Toes photographed my family on a record hot day in Austin, Texas …107 degrees to be exact…literally 2 days before we packed up my suburban to head back to a much cooler California I have shared some of the images on facebook , but not all because I was saving some to debut on my Christmas card…so here ya go…MINE on Monday…
The Christmas Card…
The kids…
Family…
Favs…
wow…that is a lot of images…but I love them so:)
xoxoxo

I cannot believe that 2009 is now just a memory..it will be a year that I will never forgot. A year of growing personally and professionally. I am so thankful for all the wonderful people that have inspired me and supported me this past year…my husband, my kids, my family, my friends and my photographer friends…you all have been so amazing and I am forever grateful for every single one of you! I walked outside yesterday to round up my boys and the sky was A M A Z I N G…I of course had to run inside to grab my camera. When I captured these images, I knew I wanted to blog them and wish everyone a fabulous New Year but shortly after I came in, I received a phone call that my brother had a heart attack. Thank God he is okay…and recovering…but he will need to make ALOT of life style changes. So with that being said, it’s New Year…A New Start….so I whole heartedly wish you a year filled with LOVE, HAPPINESS and most importantly , HEALTH! Here is my Jules, messy un-brushed hair saying ” I Love You”….
and here is another…
May 2010 be as beautiful as this sunset.

Not Billy the boy…but Billie Renee “the girl”…such a sweet name! She is my new niece and my sister in law named her after her late father…even sweeter. My husband seems to believe it’s after him…but I have to remind him…ummmm “NO” … ha! My camera gave me special access to the birth…I mean I am sure she would have asked me to be there regardless…right Maria??? It was such a gift to witness her come into this world…to such a wonderful family:) This is baby Billie at 2 weeks old…just so pretty. Chris, Maria, Rachel, Carlie, Tyler, Emma and Logan…congratulations on the new princess of the house 
love you Billie
