Last month I got together with the Price family for some portraits before Brian shipped off to serve our country!  Brian and Vanessa have two sweet little girls, Bree and Avery.  Vanessa is also the sister to one of my brides, Jen!

Fav <3

Brian is surrounded by a lot of women, so he has Bear to wrestle with!

Bree and her cousin, Katie (Jen’s daughter)

Thank you Brian for all that you do for our country – and to Vanessa for standing beside you and taking on the responsibility of a single parent while you are gone!  You two are role models!

I love thoughtful people!

I received a small box today from my delivery guy. It felt like early Christmas or my birthday (next week!)   I definitely got a chuckle when I saw what was inside!  The gift giver saw these napkins and couldn’t help but think of me and my love of twitter.

This fabulous set of cocktail napkins was a gift from the super sweet Lori!

She runs two websites,

Bridalinsider.com (for all you San Diego brides to be – this is the forum you must bookmark!)

and

Giftaria.com (The ultimate website for gifts and party supplies!)

Check them out, Lori rocks!  Thank you!!

On a side note: This photo was taken with my brand new point and shoot camera I got today!  I got the Canon SD960is 🙂

My very good friend and photographer Chrystal Cienfuegos gave birth to a precious baby girl on September 23rd!  I got to meet the little one on her 8th day out of the womb.  I already loved her when I met her <3

A Daddy’s girl already!

The happy family!

and my favorite shot 🙂

Thanks for letting me come shoot your little girl, C+D – Veda Claire is just perfect!

A few weeks ago, Mandi and I met up with these two lovely families who were vacationing in San Diego from Arizona!

Check out the eyes on little Elly!  What a cutie!

And then Addison and his parents!  He is going to be a heartbreaker very soon!

Of course, we had to snap a few of them together!  They are such good friends and really close in age!

Hope your California vacation was wonderful!  Come back soon!

xoxo, M

To my wonderful clients:  My family sessions are booking up fast for October and November!  Contact me to get your date reserved now!

I’ve been looking forward to this wedding for a long time!  I love hanging out with Jenny and Daniel, so to be able to do this along with capturing their day = perfect mix!

Daniel is the creative genius behind my cherry logo (which I adore!)  Check out his awesome website here, he has done some great design work for large companies!  I would absolutely recommend him for any design or logo work you need!

Mandi and I started the day off with Jenny and the girls on Shelter Island!

Jenny got this garter to surprise Daniel!  He is a total nerd! (haha love ya Daniel!)

I love this moment, totally candid but I think she looks like model!

The guys were looking pretty dapper themselves over at Marina Village!

And the H-O-T bridal party!

We had some gorgeous color in the sky that night!

Yummm…they had my fav – Red Velvet!

hahahahaha

I hope Cabo was amazing you two!  We need to hang out very soon!

xoxo, M
