Happy New Year Everyone! {Orange County, Ca Portrait Photographer}

I hope everyone’s 2011 is off to a great start! Mine has been a little hard due to my kids being sick for the past 2 months. But other than that I am SUPER excited about 2011! I’ve got lots planned for this new year so stay tuned!

First up: getting caught up on this poor little blog! I’ve been neglecting it for a while to focus on getting all  client holiday orders designed and in on time, talking care of sick babies, and taking some time off to spend with my family during the holidays. Since most of you have seen our holiday card I can FINALLY post this amazing shoot of my kids from last month for our card. Since I already posted the ones of Landon in his birthday post, these are mostly of Chloe. Chloe was 9 months here and Landon was almost 4 years old. Where did the time go??????

BTW: if anyone is wondering where I got Chloe & my amazing custom headband, you’ve got to check out Banner Boutique on etsy! Lindsay is amazing and so are her headbands! All 47 of Chloe’s headbands (yes, I said 47!) are all from Banner Boutique! So go check her out! Click here to become a fan of Banner Boutique.

A lot of these will for sure be blown up huge to put around the house. Poor Chloe still does not have a canvas of her on our walls. Gotta change that soon!

Nate {Irvine, Ca Family Photographer}

Oh how I *heart* this family! They are always SO fun! Every time I leave their session, I remember why I love my job so much. And this session was no different. I was over the moon when I left! The light that day was my best friend. :)

C & C:  Nate is such a doll! I literally could have taken photos of him ALL day! Thank you for being so fun. You made my job easy as pie! I really hope you enjoy your sneak peek! xoxo

Jolee {San Juan Capistrano, Ca Family Photographer}

I was SO excited to see these two because the last time I saw them was on their wedding day a few years ago. I fell in love with this couple the moment I met them so you could imagine how excited I was to shoot their first family portrait. Jolee is such a smiley little one and SO cute!! I would love to see her and my little Chloe play together.

A & D: I had so much fun catching up with you two and hanging out yesterday. Jolee is the cutest thing ever and I can’t wait to watch your family grow! Congratulations on Jolee! She’s darling! Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!! xoxo

Makayla & Brianna {San Juan Capistrano, Ca Family Photographer}

It’s always great to see this family again! I started photographing this family when little Brianna was still in her mommy’s tummy so it’s so great to see this beautiful family grow! I can’t believe how much these girls have grown!

T & J: I had an awesome time with you as always! Your girls are so beautiful. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek! xoxo

Taylor turns 1! {San Juan Capistrano, Ca Child Photographer}

I can’t believe a year has flew by already. My cousin’s sweet little girl is now 1 year old!! And honestly, it brings tears to my eyes because I know that my little Chloe is right behind her! They are only 4 months apart and already best buddies. I’m so lucky to live only 3 miles away from my cousin and his family and so excited that our little girls are so close in age and get to grow up together.

A & J: I hope you enjoy your little sneak peek! Can’t wait to see you guys again soon! xoxo

I loved photographing this family again! I can’t believe how much the kids have grown since last year! Vivian was just a baby.

A & C: I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek! I had such a blast with all of you! Your kids are adorable!! xoxo

I just love this one of sweet little Vivian! I just love her expression!

The Martin Family {Irvine, Ca Family Photographer}

I love this family. My son Landon LOVES to play with Nate! I’ve known this family for years and it’s been forever since I’ve done a family portrait for them (like since before Nate was born!) So I think they were due!

B & C: Thank you for allowing me to capture some much needed family portraits for you! I hope you found a winner for that canvas you’ve been wanting! xoxo
