Seth and Drake

I'm posting pictures from yesterday evening's shoot because I just haven't had any time (I say that a lot lately!) to get them up yet...but I definitely wanted to get a sneak peek of this shoot up on my blog because these boys are just so darn cute.

It was also an incredibly memorable shoot...the youngest boy was playing with some rocks at the railroad tracks and threw one up that hit his older boy straight on his forehead...broke the skin and resulted in a little bloody episode unfortunately. :(

But he was a trooper and even let me get some pictures after the tears. :) I'll post some of those at a later time though. :) Here's a sneak peek at some of my favorites from the shoot. :)

Jenni and Family (continued)

This family was so fun to work with and the kids were just absolute angels...seriously they were! They're all beautiful, and so of course the pictures are going to be beautiful regardless of what I do to them. :) Even with the wind beating us all down, they were all troopers and put up with the cold and windy hilltop to get some gorgeous pictures...you can't tell from the pics, but I remember those shivering lips from the littlest one. :)

Sofia's Birthday (continued)

I finally got back to these super fun pictures from little Sofia's birthday party. :) I decided to put some of them into collages for my blog since there were so many cute ones that looked similar...Sofia's mom is a FANTASTIC cake decorator, as you can see from this Dora cake that she decorated on her own!! She also made the adorable Dora lollipops in the pictures as well!

Her mother also sells Pampered Chef, so I figured I'd put a little plug in here for her :)

This first collage is Sofia and her uncle playing at the waterslide. :)










Here's the beautiful cake that her mom made










Time to blow out the candles!













Waterslide!










More fun in the water :)

Eleni and her girls

I had the honor this evening of taking more pictures of these two beautiful little girls and their mom with another one on the way! :) We headed over to the park so they could romp and play...the littlest one wasn't too interested in taking pics, but we got some great smiles while she was on the swings! :) And the older one was full of laughs and giggles...loved it. :)

Here's a little sneak peek at the shoot. :)

Michelle and Family

I had another shoot at the beautiful Malaga Cove beach this morning...it's a bit smelly there, but I love the depth of pictures that you can get here...the rocks, hillsides, plants, etc. in addition to the beach are all gorgeous. :)

I shot a super fun family this morning who had some amazing smiles. Mom joined right in the fun with her two sons and even played a little game of tag. It was especially amusing to see the youngest put his feet in the water and realize how much he loved the beach...I have a feeling their mom will need to make a few more beach trips this summer now. :)

Here's a sneak peek at a few of my faves. :)
