Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Last week I met up with my hairdresser Jessica and her beautiful family! Her girls are growing every day and she wanted some shots of the family before they become teenagers before she knows it! (ok maybe not that soon…but you get the idea!) PS These new highlights/hair color that you see on me (or will see soon), they were done by Jessica! She rocks and is in Temecula!
It’s been almost exactly 10 months since I saw little baby Adeline last. You can see her last photo shoot here.
She belongs to my first college roommate Nikki and her hubby Matt! The day after the wedding, I met up with this adorable family at the Peoria (Illinois) Riverfront for some camera time! Addy just turned 1 about a week ago!
My friend and sorority sister, Misti contacted me because she was needing some updated photos of her kiddos! Tim and I headed to their adorable home in East Peoria to oblige.
Meet Maddi, Maci and Joey!
Tickle monster!
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!
Play time!
The love their Mommy!
Misti, it was so great to see you after all these years! Your children are beautiful and so well behaved! I was so happy to meet them!

Last weekend Tim and I headed up to LA for several reasons:
#1 To see my parents one last time before they head home
#2 To meet my brand new God-neice, Marli
#3 Celebrate my father turning 65 years young!
Last year, I took some shots of my God-niece Lisa. Since then, baby #2 Marli has made an entrance in to this world! The mother is my God-sister Michele…the closest thing I have to a real sister 🙂
Meet Marli, just 4 months old!
She had just discovered her toungue that day!
And of course, Lisa! She did not like to pose for me….I had to snap quick!
Here is my beautiful mother:
And my parents!
Of course, my God-parents 3 legged dog, Indie!
Saturday was my father’s 65th birthday, here is the cake I requested.
Lisa helping him blow out his candles:
And the sunset view from my God-parents house in Palos Verdes Estates:
One more of my immediate family. Its just us! Who do I look more like, mom or dad?
I love hanging with my parents so much, I miss them when they leave California (and they leave tomorrow) 🙁

I met with Bethany at her house last week to take a few shots of her growing belly! Baby Samantha is set to make her debut next month!
These pink bunny slippers belonged to Bethany as a baby – now they are waiting for Samantha!

Her 2 year old, Christopher wanted to get in on some photo action!
Thanks to Britney for the referral!
XOXO, M
