I've been busy

I've recebtly become aware of an awesome little thing called the Knifty Knitter. They are knitting looms. Yes, I'm knitting and it's my new obsession.
Here are a few little things I've made, I can't wait to use them in my upcoming sessions!!

Seventies - I tried to be more creative with this, but a seventies action was the best I could do.

Mike & Yvonne | Inland Empire Engagement Photographer

I've decided that I love shooting engagements. Yep, it's official. How can you not love seeing two people who are totally into eachother and couldn't be happier about it?
Mike and Yvonne are such a fun couple. We started our session at the middle school they attended. Why? Well, because you see that's where they met and shared their first kiss. Love!!
M&Y thanks for a fun afternoon, I can't wait for the wedding, Yvone you are going to be a stunning bride! xoxo

Hailey | Moreno Valley Newborn Photographer

Yesterday I got to meet this beautiful baby girl. When I got a call from her mom about setting up a session I was super excited, not only to meet her, but also to put to use the new headband I had just made - see my son just wouldn't work for modeling those :)
After finally getting to sleep, she was so good for me!
V - enjoy! xoxo

Meeska, mooska..

Mickey Mouse!

I just wanted to share a few shots from my little guys 2nd birthday party. He had tons of fun, ate lots of cupcakes, and had no problem blowing the candles out. It was a bit crazy with everyone in my little house and we now have enough toys for the next 5 years or so, but it was a great time with family and friends.

Happy birthday my love!!

Hello, Gus | Riverside Newborn Photographer

Oh my. This guy is seriously cute. He was a bad influence on me. I remember how hard it was to have a newborn, he reminded me how sweet it is.
He didn't want to sleep for me (and he really didn't want to be naked), but we finally wore him out and got some shots.
Mandy and Paul, he is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier for you, congrats!! xoxo

It's a girl!

Sometime around October I got quite busy, and quite behind on blogging a few things.
It was also the month that I photographed Heather's baby shower. Her baby girl has arrived since, but I'm just now getting around to sharing some of the photos. I absolutely adored all the details! The color sheme and theme came together perfectly and the whole day was just beautiful.

Coffee, tea, and a baby shower

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing a baby shower. I just love shooting events. I love the details, the emotion, and capturing moments as they happen. This surprise shower was no exception.

My good friend Adrianna (Ms. Martha Stewart Jr.) did a fabulous job with the details, I was totally impressed and inspired.

The mama-to-be, Shivon, was completely surprised when she arrived - especially to see one of her best friends from out of state. Not what she was expecting at all, I loved it!

Very cool vintage Christmas cards. Each guest created a handmade card for each of the baby's birthdays, I thought this was such a great idea.

Gorgeous mama!! xoxo, can't wait to meet your little one!
