xmas snaps

My tree



First shots with my new 85mm lens (poor snotty boys)





And probably the coolest gift this year for the boys

Christmas time means family time!

We went to Fresno this weekend to visit family. The boys had a lot of fun and I got to take pictures of their little cousin, Amya (I have no clue if this is how you spell her name...someone correct me if I'm wrong!). I said it was because I need babes in her age group for my website (which is true)...but it was mainly because she is so darn cute!









Jerah wanted attention during the mini session.



And Job was a willing model for the first time ever! I think he got jealous of me taking pictures of his cousin. He sat down on the rock, sat perfectly still and gave me a little smile. So cute!!

The fam

We tried for some family pics tonight and failed miserably. Here is the best of the group...too bad Job is making a face :(

just saying hello

Wow I haven't posted in a week! I am getting bad at this. no pictures today. Its been too cold to go outside and I hate shooting in my house. Well this isn't entirely the case. I got a film camera recently and have been practicing with it. I figure if I can nail pictures with film then I'd be golden with digital. When my roll is done and I get it developed I'll post some.

Soooooooo....this is going to be more wordy that you are used to! I just wanted to brag a bit about the babes. They are so stinking cute and smart. The surprised us the other day by being able to name body parts when you point to them. Jobs fave word is "no". Actually its "nnnnnnnnnnno!" ask him almost anything and that is the response you get. He is also definately showing signs of the terrible twos. Jerah is as sweet as can be though. He is getting another molar so constantly has a finger in the mouth.

I launched my official website recently. Check it out here. I'm staying busy...but not as busy as I would like. Cali readers spread the word!!

That is about all for now. I have to go edit some pictures. Later!

I love this little guy!

I did Shawn's 2 year pictures today. He is such a handsome little guys. The boys just love him to death!







And just because its fun to see how far I've come (and how big he has grown)...here are a few from his 18mo pics:







Ugh there are so many things wrong with those! Although I still like the bench one :)

Thanks for looking!!

For Shannon

Tired of babies yet?

I was able to take some more pictures of Madeline yesterday. She is just so dang cute!

This was right after she peed on my brother's arm. She was finally still and looking cute so I told him not to move, lol. What a trooper!





She is totally faking



So my favorite type of shots are ones from above. It really opens up the eyes and bring out the color. These boys were troopers for me today! I had a mini shoot and bribed them with Kix.

1 week old

I did a newborn shoot for Madeline today. That baby was awake and alert the entire time! Here is a few of my newest model.
