energy

I love it when little ones are full of energy. They just radiate happiness, health, curiosity and warmth. This beautiful little girl is my baby's age and is just as much as active as mine. She was much too busy dancing her little bottom off- so cute! And her big brother was just a charm. We talked about Power Rangers and poopy diapers-wait, what? Poopy diapers? Oh yes, that always gets them going! (By the way, these cuties belong to a very talented photographer friend of mine who does amazing sports and landscape photography. Take a peek on his website-he has some pretty amazing shots.)

little beauties

I admit that I'm totally biased when it comes to these little sweet hearts since they are related to me. They are my sister's daughters and I just think they are beautiful! The oldest was lovin' the camera this time.

planning for christmas!

I know it's barely July and some of you might think it's too early to start thinking about Christmas, but believe it or not, I've already had my first order of Christmas cards. I just want to remind everyone how crazy it gets in the fall. If you're thinking about having a session done for Christmas pictures and cards, I suggest you start considering dates. I am currently booking for photo shoots in September and October.

To get you excited about Christmas cards, I have started to add the 2007 Holiday Collection. Here's the first part. More cards to come!

at the waterfall

Like I said before, I had the opportunity to photograph two of my roommates' kids. These beautiful little girls belong to one of those roomies. We took these pictures in their grandma's backyard, which was picture perfect. The grand kids loved being able to play with the water. It was a blast!
This little cutie just turned 1. She LOVES the cat and the cat got some great smiles out of her!

She was looking up at her daddy in this picture. I love her expression in this one. She's definitely a daddy's little girl.

Some cousins...

double the cuteness

These beautiful little twins were such a blast to photograph. They'll be turning the big 1 pretty soon and they are sooo adorable. I just kept on wanting to chew on their chubby legs and playing with them the whole time I was supposed to be photographing them. Don't you love just love those little pig tails?

back in action

I'm back from my much needed break and am in full swing now. It's so interesting how different types of photo shoots come in spurts. Like there was a time where I was doing a lot of maternity shoots, then newborn, and recently I've had quite a few 1 year-old shoots. And interestingly enough they aren't related to each other in any way. I've also had the opportunity to photograph two of my roomies from college. So I'll be posting quite a bit a pictures in the next few days-hopefully!

I'll start from where I left off before leaving on my trip. This is little A, who just turned one. He was such a good little subject-just happy.

princesses

I had a blast with these little princess. Aren't they beautiful? I've known these cuties for 5 years now and I have really seen them blossom. I'll leave you with two of my favorites.

chunky monkey

This handsome babe is already 9 months. How time goes by. I photographed him when he was born and when he was 6 months. He is such a delight to photograph. He doesn't really move and he's so happy. I love his deep laugh-so contagious. I was excited when his mom told me she wanted the pictures without any backdrops-just my carport and wall as the background. I love the way these turned out with the warm colors. I tried to put my own little monkey in the same place before, but wasn't successful since he's so active!

one more

Going through all the wedding pictures, I found this one that I really like. Just wanted to share.

those eyes!

I've been wanting to photograph these kids for the longest time because they are so darn cute! Every single one of them has amazing eyes. I had a great time with all of them. But I'm so bummed because this awesome family is moving this summer. We're really going to miss you guys-especially you, my sweet Kristina! Good luck. I can't wait to see you when you're a full-blown knock-out hottie!

I love Mr. GQ. I seriously took me like 5 minutes to get some great shots of him. He knew just how to work it!

I photographed this little cutie when she was born. Now she's a beautiful little toddler that should be on Baby Gap ads!

It's no wonder why these kids are so good lucking and have such amazing eyes!

kris + chip

I'm back from our trip and have tons of pictures to show for it. The main purpose of the trip was to go to my cousin's wedding. Remember the engagement pictures I posted a while back of my cousin and her fiance? Well, this wedding wasn't hers, it was of her sister, Kris. The other cousin, Fabi whose pictures I posted, will be getting married in 2 months. Crazy, huh?

Kris & Chip's wedding was beautiful and intimate.
