Bella’s Newborn Photos!

I took these back in early December, just after Bella was born!  She is the niece of my good friends Christina and Frank!

Love little feetsies!

I think this is my favorite 🙂

Big brother Trent is so proud!

He wanted me to play Xbox with him…I have a feeling he would have kicked my bootie in video games!

Congrats on the new baby girl!!

Lori – Paper and Thread Invitation Studio

I first heard about Lori though my good friend Cathy with Love at First Invite.  Cathy has started a new side business that includes website, logo and blog design as well as branding and marketing!  One of her first clients was Lori of Paper and Thread Invitation Studio.  Lori contacted me for new headshots for her brand new website!  Don’t forget to check it out.  And when you are done there, hop on over to Cathy’s new website, Love-Inspired!

I love this prop-sewing machine Lori brought to the shoot!

Lori, it was great getting to know you and laughing with you, even when we were both getting over the sniffles!  Your new website looks Fab!

I adore this family, I’ve been shooting them since 2007!  And now they have a new addition – Baby Matthew!  Below is big brother Will 🙂

The Penner Family – Old Poway Park Photography

Almost two years ago I ran a contest on my blog for a free photoshoot. Alicia was the winner! She actually donated her shoot to a good friend of hers that needed photos more than Alicia did. Well, the friend and I never found the right time to get together. I got an email a few months ago from the friend saying that Alicia was pregnant and wanted to donate the shoot back…did you follow all that?? Well, fast forward to now!  Alicia and Carlos just had a baby!  Little Alejandro is so adorable!

The Dvorak Family – Estancia La Jolla Family portraits

Last year at the Dvorak family session, Jake wasn’t quite walking…and Lisa was newly pregnant with the twins!  So new, that I didn’t even know it!  How surprised was I when she told me that had two new adorable additions to the family!

Meet Audrey and Erin!

Do you know how difficult it is to get 4 month old twins to pose together, look your way and smile?  Trust me. It’s hard.
