And yes he’s MINE!! I love this little guy. He is a boy of many nicknames. We call him Buster…which was his first word by the way. Wasn’t Mommy or Daddy just Buster. LOL. I knew before he was born that he would be a handful. I felt him move around when he was 13 weeks in utero. When I would go in for monitoring the nurses and my OB would always tell me that I’ve got a HAPPY one in there. LOL. I was scheduled for a repeat c-section but he decided to come a day early. I loved bonding with him in the hospital. He slept on me for hours.
Now he is 4. My little boy “K” is now 4. Can’t believe it. Time really does fly by. He’s lost his chubby cheeks but I still manage to find enough to kiss up. I has so much personality and so much spunk it is really hard to get mad at him and keep a straight face when he is doing something naughty cuz he often will turn on his charm and make me want to burst out laughing.
He LOVES his sister “R” and thinks of her when she is in school. He will ask me to also get an item for “R” when we are alone so that she won’t feel left out. He’s very sweet!
Anyhow…here is my little guy 4 years old and silly. I feel I really caught his spirit in these photos. Happy Birthday “K”!! You are my world! I love you!

Gorgeous Senior
May 23, 2011
This gorgeous senior was a natural at modeling for me. Isn’t she stunning? She will be going away for college in the fall and planning to get her teaching credentials. She comes from a family of educators. In fact her mom is a wonderful preschool teacher and my son and I have been in several of her classes together. Miss “S” is very bright and is in the National Honor Society and in AP classes. She likes to attend school activities with her friends. I wish her the best in her future endeavors! I know she will be successful!!

Oh so cute!!
May 19, 2011
Aren’t these two little kiddos SO CUTE? I mean seriously! If I didn’t already have children they would certainly make me want some! This family really means the world to me. I’ve known my friend “F” before we all had children and both her children have the same birthdays as me and my sisters. WHOA! How did that happen? I know? Is that bizzare or what? “K” was born on my birthday which I share with my twin sister. “N” was born on my older sister’s birthday. That must mean something to the stars right? Anywho….I wanted to share a few of my favorite images from this family beach session.

The moon, some rocks and my kiddos....
May 17, 2011
The other evening I took my kids out to this new location I was checking out. It’s just gorgeous there and I fell in love with all the foilage. My son loved the little rocks and started to collect them. At first he wanted me to hold all his findings in my pockets but I soon ran out of room so I suggested he put them in his lantern. Although, it wasn’t on an actual beach it had sand, a view of the ocean and a beachy feel to it. The trails here were lovely, not something typical of Orange County beaches. My children really didn’t want to take photos but they were nice enough to cooperate for short spurts in between their exploring.
So, if you live in Orange County you may have noticed that the moon comes out pretty early in the day. I’m not sure what this is about because I don’t recall this when I was younger? Anyhow, the moon was gorgeous and my kids love spotting it.
Ok, enough…chitter chatter…. Here are some shots from my photo session! Thank you for stopping by! I’d love to hear what you think!

I Believe In Miracles
March 25, 2011
A couple of weeks ago I was fortunate to meet a lovely and brave little girl named Hannah and her amazingly sweet mom Shelly. Hannah was diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer at the young age of 13 months. After almost 5 full years of trying to cure her cancer, her doctors have decided that traditional medical treatments will not cure Hannah. Her family is praying for a miracle. If you are reading this story and believe in the power of prayer please join me in saying one right now.
I wanted to share with you my experience when I was photographing sweet little Hannah. Her mother Shelly is just such a strong and beautiful person. She is actually the sister of one of my Belly to Baby clients. You might remember the beautiful blonde mama to be? Maybe you might remember her beautiful newborn Baby “S”? Anyhow, not only did Shelly arrive with Hannah but her whole family came to the beach session for support. Hannah’s grandparents, two of her Aunties, one of her Uncles and her sweet little cousin. I really cannot explain the sense of LOVE that I felt between them. But it was very evident that there was a very strong bond between them. They were there for EACHOTHER.
If you are interested in reading more about Hannah or donating to help Hannah and her family please visit her site. You can also keep to date with her Facebook page… Hannah’s Helping Hands.
Hannah wasn’t feeling very well the day of our shoot. But she was such a great sport! I was so honored to photograph Hannah and her family and am very happy to share a few shots from her session.

Boys Will Be Boys! | Orange County Child & Family Photographer
February 16, 2011
I had so much fun shooting these little guys…they’re twins by the way! They are the boys of my good friend “S”. We’ve known eachother since before our children arrived and our kids are only a few days apart! So, it was a real pleasure for me to do this session! As you can see the boys are having fun being boys! I just loved these playful shots that I got of them. I also, pulled out my wide angle lens and got to use that for these shots. I love that baby…I love the way the skies look when I use this lens. Anyhow, thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy the images!
