David's BMW Z4

2011-09-12T19:41:00.000-07:00

While my brother-in-law was in town I couldn't resist doing a shoot with his car and my son's little power wheels BMW. To my amazement my son's car is the toy version of David's Z4...how cool is that? WE had a fun stinkin' time to say the least, despite the 106 degree weather.

My heart is full of JOY when I see this picture, it reminds me of the beautiful gift of motherhood. Truly, it is a gift from a loving Father in Heaven.

2011-05-05T20:28:00.000-07:00

Yes, it's been a whole dang month and then some from the time I posted the teaser. Life with 3 kids takes all my time...happily so. Thus the reason for my blogging neglect. Anyway, I wanted to share this AWESOME session with this gorgeous gal. She is a sweetie and very talented. Here is my favs from our time together.

Signing off...for a little bit

2011-01-30T19:30:00.001-08:00

I don't do many personal posts really, but I thought I would just mention I'll be taking a brake from photography on the account that I'll be having a baby soon. Depending on how my life adjust to the addition of another beautiful blessing, I could be back shooting as early as April. If you are still interested in a session please drop me a line, I'll get back with you probably the end of February.

Farewell for now.=)

Cute family! What more can I say? I had three different locations I wanted to shoot, and by Georgia, they were more than happy to follow this crazy gal where ever her heart desired. And can I just say, I love the cloths! Great color, great taste! Thanks Bishop family!
This is my new favorite location. So cool!

These two boys are as cute as they look.

It is safe to say that I had a BLAST shooting this session. It was so fun to go to the Dallas Arboretum and find out that it was Tuesday dollar days, SCORE!

I have a yearly treat in which I get the privilege to take these beautiful children's pictures. I've been the families official photographer since the oldest was a week old. I guess it's nice to have a best friend as a photographer.=) I love you Cher, I love your kids! I love to come and spend a few precious days with y'all. You guys make beautiful kiddos! I only wish I lived (or you lived) closer so I can get more of ya!

2010-05-30T17:13:00.000-07:00

I have stacks of sessions that I have needed to post. Here is a high school Senior I did almost 2 months ago. Back in the day when it wasn't sweltering hot and the bluebells were covering all of Texas. I really liked getting to know this gal, she happens to like The Beatles about as much as me, rad. Congats to you Christine on your upcoming graduation.
I'll have to get things going to post some really fun stuff I've been working on soon.

It was crazy windy the day I did pictures for this cute family, but that didn't stop us from getting really adorable pictures!! Rae Rae (love the nick name) is a gal that knows what she wants, I loved capturing all her little gestures I'm sure her momma sees every day. Little Quin was just a doll, I absolutely love that age when they just have a bag of smiles for you. Laurel and Aaron, you made some mighty fine kiddos! I'm so glad to have met you, and of course I love your mom! ;)a>

Cute Cute Girls!

2010-04-07T19:37:00.000-07:00

It is always fun to photograph children from babies through their childhood. I first took Gwen's pictures when she was 4 months, and again the day we had that earthquake (in Southern California), I think she was 18 months. Once again I had the privilege of photographing this cute little thing and her baby sister! Yay, for me! We even snuck a few of mom who is the one responsible for all the cuteness. You'll have to take a peek at her blog here, she is quite the talented quilter and all around crafty gal! Thanks Darci for another fun time! Enjoy...I do!=)

{from Gwen's previous sittings....awwh....her and little sister Penelope look the same!}

Meet the Ingrams

2010-04-05T09:32:00.000-07:00

Well it was a crazy fast trip and I really wish I didn't have to jet of to the airport right after this session. Kate you are wonderful, it was so fun to be with your family!! I was thinking I wish I lived closer so we could go to that cool beach club by your house. Hmm maybe next time. Enjoy!

Moving

2010-03-28T13:21:00.000-07:00

Hey all, just an FYI I'll be in the process of moving for the next few days. I should have internet by Friday. If you have any questions drop a line and I'll get back to you then.

One day in Laguna Beach

2010-03-25T20:07:00.000-07:00

I just went to California yesterday, while I was there I had my braces removed! I have to give the best recommendation to Peter Kimball Orthodontics. He and his staff were wonderful! I can really call these people my friends, it was simply a pleasure. Dr. Kimball just recently opened a second office in the wonderful city of Laguna Beach, with his other office in Laguna Niguel. If you are in need of a beautiful smile, he is the doctor for you! Visit his website at http://kimballorthodontics.com/

Here is my proof: old me & new me!

I also was delighted to do a few short sessions. Here is a sneak peek.

Blacker Family

2010-03-13T12:49:00.000-08:00

This was clear back in the middle of February, and boy was it cold that morning. Despite our appendages almost falling off we had a blast. This family is so much fun to work with. I merely suggested that it would be fun to take a picture with them in a tree...and there they went! This tree was quite the feet to scale, they kicked it's trash. HiYa, take that tree!

Here is the fun lovin' favorites from that session. Thanks Blacker fam...it was a treat as always!

Here they go!

Apparently there are waterfalls in Texas, who knew!

And just for fun...gum

Love this one!

Laura is 1

2010-02-09T19:43:00.000-08:00

This sweet little gal is the daughter of a wonderful friend of mine. I shot Lauras 2 month pictures, it's hard to believe that she is already one! She was a little trooper despite it being a bit chilly and two huge bull dozers crowding the beach. Those big machines were trying to rebuild the beach after the crazy rain weather y'all had. I love to be able to come back to Laguna a visit from time to time. I'll be planning another trip in about a month, so for those of you who I missed I'll get you the information when I have it.

Those lips!

2010-01-30T12:28:00.000-08:00

More coming soon of this sweet little thing.

Morgan

2010-01-29T13:25:00.001-08:00

I had driven past this awesome truck a week before we did this shoot and had totally forgot about it. By chance I drove by it again on the way to our appointment. It was so nice of the owner to let us take some great images by it. We had a way fun time despite the chilly day, but that is not hard to do when you hang out with this cute girl.

In two weeks...

2010-01-10T17:52:00.000-08:00

Hey all, I have a booked a quick trip to Orange County and I have one available session up for grabs. Please let me know ASAP if you would like to fill it. First come first serve.=) I can't wait to see the beach! Wahoo!

Meet the Tanners

2010-01-05T16:13:00.001-08:00

If I could describe this family in one word it would be Hilarious! I love these guys, they really know how to have a good time. I have a perma-grin on my face whenever I'm around them. I had a blast on this session, there was gobs and gobs of fun stuff we did together. Oh, how I love to try new and fun ideas! Tanner family, you rock! I has been an absolute pleasure! I'm going to take you up on coming over with my fam, bring on the movie quotes! =)

This is called "Shotgun".
I call this one "Ode to Black Friday".

It is official, I love my job. Honestly folks; to photograph your amazing families is my joy. I love it, because I know what it's like, because I want to also have amazing pictures of my own family. Time is so brief in this world and I want to preserve those fleeting moments of bliss.
Thank you to the lovely Lawson girls! Thank you for your smiles, fun accessories, beautiful hair, and captivating eyes. And to the youngest of the bunch... you crack me up! Don't ever lose that for me sweetheart. I'm sure you are a gem to your family, because you make those tough times just so funny.

Postpone trip update and a post

2009-11-15T13:39:00.000-08:00

Here is the deal, I need to push back my trip for Orange County. I am not sure when I will be coming back at this point. Thanks to everyone for understanding, I'll make sure to get back with you soon.

Also, I am hopelessly behind on posting, the story of my life since I got to Texas. Sheesh, I have so much goodness to share, so here is where I will start. This is a session I did on Halloween with my BIL and his cute-as-can-be girlfriend, and the wild BFF of my BIL. I just couldn't let this opportunity pass me by! I mean come on, those are great Halloween costumes! Nothing like a little trip back in time to Pearl Harbor and a jaunt over to Wonderland. Anyway, enjoy.

a few open sessions....

2009-11-05T18:25:00.000-08:00

Well, it seems I will be flying to Orange County again in just a few weeks. I have a few session times open, contact me soon before they are gone. I am so glad to come back to my Southern California. If only I could bring the rest of the fam and have a Disneyland day. {sigh}

This is one of the many sessions I've been dying to share. This was a particularly fun session. They just have so much personality and really really pretty eyes. Thanks again Sarah for sharing your wonderful kids. (They really did do a great job!)

ahhhhh! =)

2009-10-19T20:08:00.000-07:00

Yep, that is how I feel right now. I can't articulate it better. I've been doing a ton of church volunteer work lately, so I have had next to no time left over to work on my photog. Welp, I still have a lot to catch up on, postings and such, hopefully soon. Oh, and something really happy for me is going to happen soon (well, as long as I can get it together that is). More on that in the near future. I'm just happy I got my header updated, it needed some love. Oh!!! And....da da da daaaa...I have a new logo. Yes, this is the logo I was suppose to have. Michelle McGrath designed it for me and I love it. Thanks Michelle and don't you look so dang cute with your hubby on the header?=)

Alright I need to hit the sack. I'm out.

I'm back

2009-09-28T19:05:00.000-07:00

I had a killer time back at the 'ol stopping grounds of Laguna Beach Ca. It was kind of weird going back, it didn't feel quite like home any more. But of course that would never detract my love for this place and the people there. I have scads of great images from the sessions I did in the two days while there. Hopefully I can share them all with you, but for now here is a few to wet your appetite.

All full

2009-09-14T18:38:00.000-07:00

It looks like I'm all booked up for my Southen California trip, but if you just send me your info, I'll let you know if a time opens up. Can't wait to see every one, and have some fun!

hey converse fam!

2009-08-23T20:43:00.000-07:00

It's been my life lately to be behind in posting. I think they already have all of their pics posted all over fb. Well this is my hubby's Aunt Janine, who I love so much. We took a morning while I was in Utah right before the long trek to Texas. It was great even lighting for the location, which I was ecstatic about. This has been the first time in ages since they've had family pictures done, it was about time. There are also some Senior pics in the bunch too. Love you guys.

Some pics for the senior! Yes, ladies he is avalible.

girlie girls!

2009-08-09T12:48:00.000-07:00

This is for my very dear friend, I've been privileged to photograph these beautiful little girls since they were born. I'm telling you I am so stinkin' lucky. I love you Cher, I hope you like these!

one fine day continued

2009-08-05T19:04:00.000-07:00

I was able to do this session right before we moved. I am so glad I squeezed them in too. The baby was a dream. I got every shot I wanted, despite it being chilly and windy. It was another successful and fun time with the Kimball's. How lucky am I?

I have arrived, in Texas that is. I can tell you it is a charming place and I know I'm going to love it here! I have so much to catch up on, loads and loads of pictures to share with y'all. This just happened to be the most urgent on my list so it got completed first. My dear sister-in-law is graduating from the BYU! Go Cougars!! Sarah is about the most photogenic gal out there, she is in my header for goodness sake, and you remember the gorgeous bride in the snow? Well here is just a couple from this mini session.

She is an excellet artist btw!

Fair Well Southen California!

2009-07-12T22:42:00.000-07:00

Well, I'll be moving this week to Texas. It has been a GREAT 2+ years here in Laguna Beach. No worries to those I didn't have a chance to photograph while I was here, I'll be back. Most likely I will pop back around September to get the Christmas season started! I'll probably be away from my blog for a few weeks until I get settled too. "Till then I'm out.

The Paz Boys

2009-07-08T21:54:00.000-07:00

These are the boys of my dear friend. We had a fun time, and they even got some chocolate cake out of the deal! I am so glad I was able to do get some great images of these boys before we moved; they're practically family. We love you guys and will miss you tons!

Packing...and more packing

2009-07-02T20:05:00.000-07:00

I would LOVE to have more to post for y'all, but I am just swamped with packing. Oh yes, move day is coming fast; I only have about a week left. There are several sittings to share, and if I can get my whole house packed in the next few days, by golly I will get some of this ready for you.

Little Dane

2009-06-23T09:13:00.000-07:00

This little dude did beautifully! Of course it did take a whole two hours of feeding before he was "ready for his close up" but that comes with the territory. As soon as he was drunk on milk he was the best infant I've photographed in a long time. It was fun to hold a little tiny 6 lb. baby again, my little guy was there just under six months ago. My how the time flies! Anyhow, Jeana and Eric are the coolest parents and they certainly have a very handsome little boy. Thanks for the privilege of capturing this memory, I had a blast!

16 days old....

2009-06-17T20:29:00.000-07:00

FYI, I am moving to Dallas, Texas due to the lovely economic circumstances that caused my wonderful hubby to get laid off. I'll miss Laguna terribly,I'll just have to come visit VERY often. This is a sneak peak of just one of the many images we got of this sweet little guy today. More to come....I will do my best to post before I move. I only have 3 weeks to pack, and several appointments to still do...HELP!=)

Evening on Emerald Bay Beach

2009-06-09T14:04:00.000-07:00

Shooting on this beach is ideal, because the general public doesn't have access to it, making my job so much easier. It is a beautiful location and it has a swing set for the kiddos, too! What more could you ask for? I love to photograph these kids because of their drastically different personalities. Abbie is full of life,and without a care in the world. As soon as we got to the beach, she bolted right for the water. Lauren, on the other hand, is deathly afraid of the water and was completely content with her bucket of shells. Then, little Noah is so laid back that, even when there was a diaper emergency, nothing really phased the kid.
I have ridiculous amounts of pictures, and this doesn't even remotely cover 1/2 of what we got. It was so much fun! We need to do this again!

I'm still alive

2009-06-05T13:33:00.000-07:00

I've had a lot of photo-goodness, and life craziness that has prevented me from being a diligent blogger.I'll post more stuff soon I promise. On a happier note: I'm shooting David and Wendy's wedding today, yahoo!

More to come....

2009-05-26T08:47:00.000-07:00

D&W

2009-05-17T21:56:00.000-07:00

They are, quite possibly, the coolest couple you'll ever meet. I really love these two. David is a co-worker and great friend of my hubby's. David's adorable fiancé, Wendy, has the most fun and loving personality; she made it easy to get the shots I wanted. To say I was picture happy during this session doesn't quite cover it. I can't wait 'til the wedding day. Thanks for a really fun evening!!

As promised...

Redmond is such a fun little guy. We had a such a great time, I loved the fun little facial expressions he kept pulling. His mom was equality fun, telling entertaining stories to keep Redmond's attention. She is such a cool mom. Thanks again for a great morning!

Rock On!!

Here is a teaser of the killer session I had on Friday night. More to come! Yay!

A Nippy Morning in Laguna

2009-04-28T22:07:00.000-07:00

In an effort to sharpen the saw, I met with Jessica Kettle, a fellow photographer, on Monday. With the help of my dear friend's sweet little girl, we did a mini session to fine-tune my technique. We had a good time, although, Brinley was a bit chilled. She was a trooper, though.

Our boys are so dang cute

2009-04-27T23:18:00.000-07:00

I just had to get out today and take some pics of my boys. Of course, what two year old wants to do what you want? Yeah, just these two today. Oh well, another day another picture. I have to say, the boys do look rather dashing, don't you think?

McAllaster Family

2009-04-22T20:59:00.000-07:00

I have to say, I really love to photograph this family. I shot their engagement, bridal, and wedding pictures, so I feel especially privileged to continue creating images of their beautiful and growing family. Thanks, again, for letting me take your family's portraits. I hope to be able to do more of them in the future.
By the way, check out Angela's mad photography skills at http://angelamcallister.blogspot.com/. She took some amazing pictures of my own family.

Shooting in Utah

2009-04-21T09:10:00.000-07:00

These are a few pictures I did for my great friend, and fellow photographer, Angela. Here is a sneak peek. P.S. I'm having problems with Flickr....I'll see about re-posting these larger when I can get it to work.

I have been striving to better document the little moments of life for my family, and this tender little moment melts my heart. My sweet little guy is such a lady’s man. It was this same “buddy” who stole his first kiss.

My little guy is 2!

2009-04-07T12:57:00.000-07:00

I meant to post this over a month ago, but gosh, I just couldn’t get my act together. I’ve gotta give props to my dear friend Linda for helping me get my little guy to smile. He just doesn’t listen to me anymore. He is a sweet little guy though. I could only squeeze 10 minutes out of him before he was completely done. I absolutely love this location, and can't wait to use it again.

Coming Soon

Sweet Laura

2009-03-19T21:35:00.000-07:00

This is my sweet friend’s baby. She is only two weeks younger than my little guy, and she is an angel! Seriously, she was so cooperative. I couldn’t help but wish my baby was as happy as she was. It was so fun to do her in her blessing dress. The dress was specially made just for baby Laura. I loved that is was a little off-white. One day, I’ll have a girl, and I can have fun dressing her up!! Until then, I’ll live vicariously through my friends with little girls. Anyway, enough of my ramblings…here are some of my favorites.

up and coming

2009-03-15T22:07:00.000-07:00

Here is a sneak peek of a few things I've been working on.

Baby William

2009-03-13T22:33:00.000-07:00

I loved taking this little guy’s pictures. He was such a happy little baby for everything I put him through. I wish I could say the same for my own kiddos. Oh well. The little blessing dress he is in is a very special tradition they have in their family. I think there were 30 or so that have been blessed in that dress, and all of the babies names were embroidered at the bottom of it. Very cool in my opinion.

Finally!

2009-03-07T22:22:00.000-08:00

I know, I know, "coming soon" took quite awhile. What can I say? Sorry?

Here is yet another Kimball family. There are 6 out of the 7 Kimball brothers living in Orange County. I guess you could say I'm the official family photographer, and very happy to be so. Really, all these families (the Kimball's) are just so kind and down to earth. This Kimball clan made me smile with how loving they were towards each other. Seriously, if all families were like them...the world would be a happier place. Thanks for letting me take your family pics.

I took these images way back in December when I was very pregnant. I had 3 shoots in a day and a half. I was grateful I didn't go in to labor.=)

Coming Soon

2009-02-22T13:45:00.000-08:00

Hey there, I know I've been MIA for awhile, but I had a baby at the end of December, and I'm just getting the hang of having twice as many kids as before. With that said, I will be getting stuff posted soon. I have loads of new stuff, and it will probably just get lumped all together. Till then, later gator!

Netta and Peter's Family!

2008-12-20T23:18:00.000-08:00

This is # 3 of the Kimball brothers that I've photographed this season. It has been so much fun to get to know these great people. This session was a blast! I really loved the location we shot at. If you ever get the chance to get into Emerald Bay, in Laguna Beach, I would take a peek. It was great to have a variety of different backgrounds in a very close area. It made my life so much easier. We all had a good time and got some really beautiful images.

New Logo

2008-12-20T23:12:00.000-08:00

Thanks to my wonderful friend, Michelle McGrath, I now have a logo. Yay! She is very talented, and I'm so grateful for the awesome work she's done for me. If you would like to see her stuff, go to www.michellemcgrath.com . She designs wedding announcements, baby announcements, and t-shirts, among other things. Check it out. She is GREAT!

More Kimball's

2008-12-20T15:05:00.000-08:00

I love doing newborn sessions.

Oh my, girl, you are a firecracker! =) I love your fun personality.

She is such a smart and inquisitive little girl.

I had a great time with this family. These little girls were a hoot. So much personality packed into such cute little frames. Things took a bit longer than I had originally predicted, but I guess I'm a lot slower when I'm pregnant. Thanks for being patient with me guys.

Isabel is 1!

2008-10-19T16:14:00.000-07:00

I love this little girl! She has that melt-your-heart smile and a giggle that you can't help but love. We had a fun day at the park and ended the session at my house to take the studio images. We were all bushed by the end, but we got some sweet pictures! We did back in August.

Ewing Family

2008-10-19T15:08:00.001-07:00

I had a really good time doing these family pictures for Claudia. She is one of my good friends, and I love her to bits. Isabel is absolutely adorable, and she did so well. That's saying something for a 13 month old, believe me! Poor Rich had a cold, but didn't complain once. Way to go! I'll miss you a lot, Claudia. Have fun, and I'll see you when you get back from Brazil.

The Kimball Family

2008-10-18T21:27:00.000-07:00

I love this family. They are the sweetest people. We had a good time down at the Montage. Here are a few highlights from the shoot.
