I cannot believe it has taken me until now to share these!! This adorable duo belong to my 1st cousin, Joleen and her husband Eric. Joleen moved away a few years back so back in December was the first time I got to meet little Abraham and Winston. I quickly fell in love with them! Not only because I am a twin myself, but because these two seriously have the most awesome little personalities. I really wish I could see them (and my cousin!) more often.They are like 2 little old men which makes their little men outfits so perfect for them. Enjoy these 2 cuties. . .I know you will catch yourself saying “Awwww”!

One more quick share today of lil’ Miss Charlotte. Another gorgeous newborn I had the pleasure of photographing!! It’s been a busy spring over here and this next month is no exception. I have a lot of mommas just waiting for their new babies to be born.

I have so many pictures from recent sessions I want to share so I’m trying to get a little caught up. Little Tyler was a bit older for a newborn, but he did great and it was worth working for those sleeping shots of him. . .check out those amazing eyelashes!! Such a beautiful baby! Have a great week everyone!

As you may have noticed (or not noticed hee hee), I have not been blogging much. I made a decision last year to give up a job that I had been doing online for quite a long time. There were many reasons for doing this and at the time I was so stressed about the decision. Looking back, I really see how God was involved in that decision from the get-go. I saw that everything does happen for a reason even when you don’t understand it at the time, and now I feel like the last 6 months has given me my sanity back. I used to spend so much time on the computer that I felt this weird pull to it. Granted, I was working and making money by being on it, but I felt like my life had become sucked into that computer screen. My kids hated it, my husband hated it, and I was starting to hate the person I was becoming being consumed by being stuck in front of that computer screen all of the time. I just felt super anxious and stressed and it was not good for me at all. I thought just because I had a great opportunity in front of me that I needed to take it. I now realize how much happier I am and how much happier my family is that I am “present”. I still am running my photography business and staying busy with that, which I feel SO incredibly blessed by. The month of January was filled with the most amazing clients who truly made me realize how lucky I am to have this business. But I’ve really taken a step back from the online/social networking/computer world. I know I need to blog my sessions once in awhile as it’s always good to get my fresh work out there for clients to see. But I’m finding a great balance and I’ve been able to really get involved more in my kids’ school/activities. I have an almost 4-year-old that I’ve been able to hang out with A LOT more instead of ignore for hours a day. God really has taught me a lot about what matters this past year. Many events, some tragic, have taken place that have showed me how important it is to be present in my life and to really cultivate my relationships with my kids, my husband, and my friends. Overall, 2012 has already been an amazing year just a little over one month into it and I look forward to seeing what the rest of the year brings. Sappy. . .yes? But I had to share it.

With that, I give you a taste of the last sessions I’ve had. . .

Meet the scrumptiously, loveable Leo. . .

 

Up next is the deliciously sweet Tala. . .

 

The next two heart-breakers were from an awesome family session that I hope to show more of soon.  I do have one outtake to share though that just cracks me up!

 

Next up is the adorably, smooshy Asher. . .

 

And the next two are just a couple of my favs from back in December.   The little guy below belongs to one of my best friends from High School.

 

LOVED this family session. . .hope to share more from this one some day too.

Me blogging this next family is WAY overdue!  They were so awesome to work with and it’s been great getting to know them.  Dad plays for the Arizona Diamondbacks and he gave us the awesome opportunity to watch his team play the Padres this summer.  They are a super gorgeous family, inside and out.  I also love the fact that they have a Brayden (the new little guy)  just like we do.

Well, my kiddos are back to school which leaves me with my last baby here at home. I am a bit sad he will go to preschool next year and I feel like time is just rushing by way too fast.It’s amazing to see how much they grow from the time they are a newborn until they are 3 like my little man. I just have to hold tight to the memories of when they were babies and snuggle my newborn clients extra hard. <3

Meet sweet Charlotte, she was just about 2 weeks at the time of our session back in July and definitely fun to snuggle. Such a gorgeous little babe and her big brother is gorgeous too. Their family was so easy to work with and had such great personalities which made working with them so much fun. So, welcome to the world sweet Charlotte. . . .

I mentioned in an earlier blog post that I’ve been photographing this family since Caroline (the older munchkin) was born. I have had so much fun watching her grow and now watching her little sister Maddy grow. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of documenting a family’s life and I feel so, so honored that they have MY pictures of their family adorning their walls. They really all are so beautiful, inside and out, and I look forward to capturing them again here in a few months for Christmas pictures!!

This adorable family’s mommy and daddy own a 4-D Ultrasound company here in San Diego. Any client who uses them also gets a coupon for a newborn session in my studio, which was so sweet of them to advertise for me!Little 3 month old Ella REALLY loved being held, but we managed to get her sleeping and put her for a few minutes. We had to be SUPER careful not to do anything to wake her up, but it was worth the effort! And at the end, she woke up and gave me some GLORIOUS baby smiles that I just love to pieces!!! Her older brothers are adorable too, aren’t they????

The kids go back to school next week and while I’m sooooooo sad summer is over as we’ve been doing so many fun things, I do feel a little excited at the prospect of being able to get things done again. One of those things is blogging a bit more. It’s been nice to really spend some quality time with the family so some things just had to slide and blogging was one of them. I just LOVE showing off my beautiful clients though! This blog post is of Kalli, my friend from high school’s beautiful baby girl and her big brother and sister.

Little Chase was only one week old at our session and he was seriously one of my easiest newborn babies ever. He was conked out the entire time and let me put him in a bunch of different positions without any qualms. Gotta love that!!! He also was scrumptiously cute so he was the all-around awesome package deal.

I had to post this first one just to show how big his feet are. . . this kid is going to be TALL just like his daddy!

Thanks Q family for having me capture this special time in your lives. . . little Chase is perfect and you both are so blessed!!!!!!
