The Mettler Family

I tried to only pick a few of my fav's but I am awful at making decisions...so I am giving you another photo overload. The Mettler kids were so great...we had a few bumps and bruises through the session but I thought we got some great shots!

Thanks for looking!

The Beardslee Family...

When I first moved to Ladera Ranch, this beautiful family was one of the first families I met. Little Mr. "N" was only 5 weekes old. They now have a beautiful little girl that is 18 months old...I loved chasing Little Miss "A" around. I had a great work-out...but I absolutely love some of these images. Thank you Mrs. B for giving me the opportunity to photograph your gorgeous children.

Thanks for looking!

My Style...

I have felt lately that I have been trying to find my style...I guess I have found that my style differs from family to family. The Payton kids are a true feel of how I love my sessions to go...hence the photo overload. Thank you Little Miss "S" and Little Mr. "T" for allowing me to capture you so beautifully!

Thanks for looking!

The Miraglia Family...

The Miraglia family intrusted me with photographing their family before I even knew I would pursue my passion of starting my own business...back when I was shooting film and I didn't know how to use my camera :) Thank you so much for trusting me again this year! It really means so much to me!

The Bohrer Family....

I just love when I get to have session with a family that is a Big part of our family. We love the Bohrer's...and my kids love Little Mr.C. They would spend every waking moment together if they could. It makes my heart so happy to see my 4 children take him in, as if he was their very own brother. I have to say that I may be biased but their family picture is my favorite of the season. Love you Little Mr.C.

It's someones BIRTHDAY...

Today is my husbands 37th Birthday...so I just wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday. This picture was taken a almost 2 years ago on our 7th anniversary. One of us looks a little different...sorry honey! It must be all the stress. Did I ever share with you that my dear husband is going to school to get his MBA from the University of Chicago...yes he commutes from California to Chicago every other weekend. The end is near...he will be graduating in March! Yay!!!! I do not tell him often...but I am proud of him. And of myself...yes it was a huge sacrifice for me too! But we've made it and since we made it through this we can make it through anything.

Happy Birthday Honey!

A Beautiful Family...

I photographed the Hunter Family back in November and what a joy they were to photograph. I will be honest and say that I was nervous, as the beautiful Mommy told me that the children would be wearing heirloom clothing. Lil' Mr. "J' was wearing a Sunday suit made from his Great-Great Grandfathers Navy Uniform...isn't that amazing! Miss "A' was wearing a dress made from her Great- Great- Grandmother...that has been worn by each generation...including her beautiful Mommy. Thank you for allowing me to photograph your family!

Tis the Season....

To be A D O R A B L E. Wow...I am so behind in blogging...I have so many images to share. I promise to have them up sometime this week. I am happy to say that I am swamped!!!!!! Thank you...Thank you and THANK YOU to all the families that chose me to photograph their beautiful families this season. I TRULY love my job. I feel so blessed to have the 2 best jobs...A MOMMY and a PHOTOGRAPHER.

This little guy I photograped while he was in his Mommy's tummy and as a little newborn. He is so darn beautiful. At the end of the session I got some special hugs and kisses from him. It melted my heart...I seriousely miss having a little one slobber all over me. I came home to ask my husband to have another child...I think he almost had a heart attack..hee-hee.

Thanks for looking!
