Nikki is my college roommate and has probably made more appearances on my blog than anyone else!  I’ve been shooting her family since Addy was born!   They recently moved to Seattle and we were having trouble finding a time to do their family photos for the year.  We had given up when I found out I had a 6 hour layover on my way to Maui last month!  Voila!   They picked us up from the airport and took us to the adorable area near their home, in Fremont.  We wandered around the neighborhood and I drooled over all the beautiful Fall colors!

A few weeks ago I got the opportunity to meet Shawntae and Mike’s brand new little girl, Isabella! I’ve known Shawntae for years, since I shot her best friends wedding years ago!   Their baby girl is adorable, barely making a peep as I rolled around on the floor next to her!  Their fur-baby Jax just had to jump in a few of the pics as well, since he is sharing the spotlight now! ;-)

Wow they have grown so much!  As have I!  ;-)   Misti and Joe honeymooned on Coronado 10 years ago and brought the whole family back for some fun in the sun (and Disneyland!)

Turns out they were going to be on Maui the same time as me…and we are practically neighbors in San Diego! Such a small world! I met them early in the morning in Kaanapali and we had some fun playing in the sand!

Brook is blessed with three handsome sons!  The older two were so polite too!  Little Payton will be polite some day I’m sure, but for now he just gurgled.
