Mraz Monkeys 2010

I had so much fun hanging with this family again. Every year I get to experience how they have grown and who they are becoming. It is a pleasure to see each of their personalities come out when I have one on one time with them. Mama has the best smile EVER! It lights up her whole face and is infectious. Big sis loves the camera and the camera loves her. Big Brother is the monkey of the house. There was not a tree that was safe, he was in heaven. Little bro is just love, sweet, sweet love. Thank you, Mraz family. xoxo

Jimenez Family

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family several times. I've said it before, one of my favorite things about doing this job is getting to know the families. I love connecting with them, watching them grow, and seeing their successes. No more evident than in this precious group. Diego is nothing short of a daily miracle. He wasn't supposed to make it through his first few days of life, he wasn't supposed to make it to see his first birthday, and he certainly defied the odds making it to his 4th. He is so wonderful. For those of you who know me well, you know I am very touchy having no personal boundries. Diego talks to me, in his way, when I get down in his face and put my hand on his chest.....makes me melt!

As if that weren't enough, I get to play with his little brother, Cristian. The curls, the eyes, the smile....melt! Crystal (mama) is one of those people that I could play with all day long. I love talking and laughing with her. Eddy is that dad that smooches on his kiddos everytime he picks them up. I love watching that. They are so strong and inspire me by what they do daily. There is nothing more powerful than the love of a parent.

My, my, it's been too long

I have been a bad, bad blogger. I find that I update my Facebook page much more than my blogsite. I will vow to be much better at this. You have my word. I am giving you a smattering of work that I have done throughout the year. Enjoy.

Oh, how I love these little ones. Sabra and Bob have given me many opportunities to photograph these little monkeys and we always have a good time. This session mom and dad got in the mix. Thank you guys. Love you all.

Pearson Family

We actually took these pictures in November, but as my December has gone, I am just getting to posting them now. Thank you to Karen for making her hubby and two boys come along to our shoot. I think when all was said and done everyone had a great time. I know I did!!

Please Lord, let this be over soon!

Acketz Family

Thanks to Tony and Stacy for yet another fun filled, laugh riot of a shoot. I love hanging with you guys and your babies are beautiful.

The Conrads

Boy meets girls. Boy asks girl to marry him. Boy and girl have 4 daughters. Boy gets a special seat in Heaven. The funny part is that I don't think that Phil would trade a moment of it. It was a joy to capture each of these girls. Their personalities really came through in the pictures. Mom looks absolutely fantastic.
