My very own diaper cake!


Ok, the diaper cake isn't really mine...it's for my third daughter, Eliza. My wonderful church group threw me a special baby shower yesterday and I just had to share pics of the beautiful diaper cake that my sis in law and good friend made me. I already told them that I refuse to take this diaper cake apart - it's just too cute! Audrey already asked if she could read the book on the top and I told her no because I can't bear to take it out! Thank you!!! I love it!

Sneak Peek for Thomas Family {San Ramon Family Photographer}






Little H came in for her 6 month portraits and she just lit up for the camera! With those big brown eyes and adorable smile, I just couldn't help but smile as I was shooting her (according to my daughter, I shouldn't be 'shooting' people. sorry!). Having 2 girls of my own and expecting another one, I think sisters are just 'oh so special.' I will be capturing H as she grows up during the next year and I can't wait to see how much she grows.

Sneak Peek for Kim Family {San Ramon, Dublin Family Photographer}





Being 7 1/2 months pregnant, I was a little worried about how I would be able to chase after kids and do my usual climbing, jumping, crazy movements that I usually do. L & K made this portrait session so easy for me! They were so calm and followed directions so easily. It was so great to see siblings getting along so well - of course mom told me that this isn't always the case. :) I had to add the picture of K giving L "the look" while L looks smug and guilty. Enjoy!

New Backdrops

I'm so excited about these 2 backdrops that arrived yesterday! Since my youngest was at school, my oldest daughter was forced to be my model again as I wanted to test out how the backdrops would photograph. Her outfit didn't match but I knew I couldn't get her to change since I had to beg beg beg her to take a couple of shots for me. She said she would do it only if I gave her dessert afterwards! She's only 4 and she's already negotiating! I wanted a better picture of the black background but she announced that she was done and threw her hat across the room. When my little diva tells me I'm done, I'm done. Hopefully I'll get another opportunity to test out these awesome backdrops!

Holiday Cards

I've been so busy that I haven't been able to update my main website in a long time. I finally added a Holiday Card section with some of the designs I'm offering this season. I have many more designs so if you'd like to see hard copy samples, let me know!

Looking forward to all the Holiday Portrait Sessions that are coming up!
