Happy ‘Punkin’ Day
October 31, 2009
I love Yellow Bird Music and frequently pop in for a mini session or two with little ones such as these (past images featured on her site)! The baby on the bottom was not necessarily in costume, but you know how I am with newborns… please check out Alex’s website for details on her wonderful music and learning classes. She is truly one of the most talented women I have seen with children and they really DO learn! Happy ‘Punkin’ Day!

Simplicity
October 30, 2009
I went on a women’s retreat this weekend with Reality Carpinteria (my fabulous church). It was amazing, refreshing and the air was crisp. I didn’t take many photos but pulled out my camera the last morning for a few shots of the gorgeous leaves that surrounded me like wallpaper. This one I love the most… all by it’s lonesome near the parking lot. I am finding more and more that I am a simple person, I like simple things… well except for grande toffee nut soy lattes. The busier I get the more I appreciate these small moments. I think that is what I love most about portraiture… the ability to freeze a moment to make it last longer than it ever would have. This moment calms my heart and reminds me that I am just a small piece of the world. And I like it that way.

J is for Joshua
October 29, 2009
Yesterday was the first weekday I have missed a blog post in weeks! So many wonderful sessions and so little time… This newborn was absolutely delicious. He just was content with almost every pose (which made me happy!)… sleeping in the precious newborn way. If you didn’t see the gorgeous pregnancy portraits, check them out too! Welcome into the world Joshua, I look forward to watching you grow up in this loving family…

Weekend Away
October 23, 2009
Happy Friday! I am going away this weekend for some fresh air, friends and some rest, but couldn’t leave you without an image that makes me smile. I have an exciting project in the works for next week and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Cheers!

Sweet Three’s
October 22, 2009
This was such a fun and challenging session! With bubbles and lollipops and trucks and pumpkins… these three are sweet each to their own. Olivia has a powerful presence and gorgeous hair (like mama!). Dallas played the James Dean role perfectly… ever so often just turning his head to look at the camera like a true rebel! And once Jaden and I became friends he was my camera’s friend too! He let me know that it was broken a few times… lol. Enjoy!

Oh my pretty…
October 21, 2009
If this doesn’t send your mind beyond the clouds I don’t know what will. I love Rose & Ruby, and recently went back to peruse their website and realized I didn’t even look at their Summer 2009 collection… I was missing out. These dreamy images are from their online catalog. All I can say is oh my pretty…

A good friend and fellow photographer asked me to do a few portraits for her upcoming newly designed website. I was more than thrilled! She knows how to light up a room more than anyone I know… and her laughter is absolutely contagious. Here is another side of her I like to call the haute look. She is gorgeous! Check out her website here!

Triple the Love

Where’s the third you ask? In the car getting some R&R with mom. These three were hard to catch… literally! But it makes shots like these so much sweeter. Full sneak peek and slideshow coming soon… Happy Monday!

Thought of you today… thought you might like to play along – I’m gathering my blessings, every day this month. A fresh way of looking at things… and creating a new habit. So glad you had a weekend away!
