Yesterday we had a mini family reunion at my parents house with some family that I haven’t seen in ages! My darling little nephew, Harley was there and we ended up doing a little impromptu photo session since Harley is turning 1 on July 31st! I can’t believe how fast this year has flown by. It just feels like yesterday when I first met him in the hospital only minutes after her was born.  Oh Harley, how I love you! Sis, I hope you enjoy these photos!

Well I can not believe that just 3 short months ago, we were blessed with our sweet angel girl Chloe. Oh how I love her so! She has brought so much joy into our lives. We are so thankful for her and that she is healthy. I seriously feel so lucky to have 2 amazing children! Chloe is SO much fun! She is so easy going and happy ALL the time! She greets me with the biggest smile in the morning and is so excited to see me when she wakes up. She is such a people person and gets so excited when she sees people. And she is so ticklish! So I have a lot of fun getting her to laugh & squeal so loud. Here are some of my favorites from her 3 month portrait session.

Well my sweet baby girl is already 5 weeks old and I can’t believe how fast this time has flown by!! I really wanted to post some of my favorites of her sooner, but I could never find the time. It’s pretty crazy around here with 2 kids and my husband gone for the past month (he’s working nights) But here is a quick sneak peek from my daughter’s newborn session.

The last 2 images were taken by my amazing friend Erin of Erin Sullivan Photography. She was so sweet to come over and take some family portraits for us and I am so grateful!! I’ll be posting more soon!!

I have been slacking a bit on this blog! Sorry! I’ve just been swamped with so many things going on the past month and a half. This has been my busiest Holiday Season yet (yea!!!) and on top of that we’re in the middle of moving! So this year, I was even MORE excited for our annual trip to Julian for Thanksgiving this year to just relax and enjoy some family time and of course the Thanksgiving Feast! I had a week free of work, emails and day to day life. It was FABULOUS!!!! And this year we had an extra special treat: SNOW! It’s never snowed on us in Julian before, so this was a real treat. So of course, I grabbed my camera and ran outside to get a few photos.

I know, I am a MAJOR slacker on this poor little blog! But I have a little excuse for the lack of posts here: I am expecting baby #2!!!!! I felt so sick the first few months that I didn’t feel like doing anything but sitting on the couch. But I am starting to feel much better now so I thought I’d post some sneak peeks again of some great weddings that I have been wanting to share from over the past few months. First up: Carly & Kevin’s wedding in San Juan Capistrano. I had such a BLAST shooting Carly & Kevin’s wedding earlier this month! Carly was one of the funnest brides I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She was laughing all day long and just had FUN with her day and her photos! I love it when people just let go and have some fun in front of the camera. That is when I get the best shots.

So brace yourself, there are a ton of photos here! Here are some getting ready pics and shots of the girls.

It’s been a while since I have taken Landon out for a photo shoot. I never got around to doing his official 2 year portraits. So, because of Father’s Day coming up soon, I decided to take him out on a quick photo session. Let me tell you-it was TOUGH!! I had to bribe him with EVERYTHING under the sun! Let’s just say that his afternoon snack was basically chocolate! Ha! Well here he is at almost 2 1/2 years old. It really amazes me how time really does go by SO fast! I can’t believe that my little baby is already almost 2 1/2!!

P.S.: I think he is ready for his modeling contract :)
