{Baby Olivia}

Little Olivia was just 3 days old when I did this shoot a couple of weeks ago. After taking her sweet time Olivia finally joined the rest of the world (a week late) and graced us with her presence on LABOR DAY (what a coincidence)! Her mom and dad are dear friends of mine and they are so blessed to have such a beautiful healthy little girl. Congrats again Steve and Carie!

Awesome Wedding! Jake and Rachel were the sweetest couple EVER! The rest of the pics will be up shortly.

{Remembering 9-11}

It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting at my desk in my first photography class at Villa Park High School.  I was a 17 year old junior, needless to say I was young and innocent and unaware of the tragedy that was possible in our world.  That morning in class was something that I will never forget.  It was solemn, quiet and still.  Everyone around me was mute with blank faces as we listened to the old radio my teacher had on that was bringing live news of the tragic events of that morning of 9-11.  As I sat and tried to process it all with confusion, fear and anxiety in the back of my mind I just prayed for those who lost their lives and for their families. I am proud of our country and I feel blessed to call myself an American.  Today is a day that we should all remember those who died and thank those you who serve and protect us!

Oh my word I am so sorry it has been an entire month since my last blog.  Life has just been crazy! I have been making many business decisions and rearranging some things for the better.  I am going full time with photography and I have a few other art related things up my sleeve (stay tuned)!  There will be plenty more wedding, baby and fun fams blogging coming your way this month!  For now take a look at my amazing friend who I like to call "Mr. Lee T"  He needed a few new head shots so we gave it a go.  

 

{Baby Jack}

What can I say about little Jack... besides the fact that he might be the cutest baby EVER!  Jack was such a pleasure to photograph.  Not only is he absolutely adorable at the sweet little age of only three weeks but he is a lively alert little guy!  In over 4 hours the little man never once caught any zzzzz's!! He has got a mind of his own and something tells me he is going to take after his dad, Ryan.  Although we weren't able to get any sleeping baby shots we certainly captured this heartbreaker at his best.  Thanks so much to Shauna and Ryan for coming all the down from San Luis Obispo for the shoot!  Love you guys and I can't wait to see Jack grow up over the years!    

[Jack] Sneak Peek

Introducing Jack... This was such a fun shoot last week. Little Jack is going to make such a great addition to Ryan and Shauna's Family.  The rest of the photos will be up by next week! 

[Gus]

So this is the one and only "Gus" I wish he were mine (since I have dreamt about having an all white English Bulldog since I was about... well 5!)  He belongs to my dear friend Kirstin.  Gus is only about 8 months old, a thriving adolescent with plenty of energy to go around!  He has two specific loves... food and his soccer ball.  He chases his soccer ball around everywhere and when he is not playing he has it at his side, between his paws, under his chest etc... He won't let anyone get a hand on it.  It is the cutest thing ever. I couldn't resist snapping a few pics while I was over there making dinner with Kir.    

Gallery 104

I had the privilege of photographing the Grand Opening of The Eco Projekt at Gallery 104 a couple of weeks ago.  It was a huge turn out and the art was amazing.   There were many different mediums of art and it was all so eclectic.  The artists were so kind and welcoming and it was great getting to know many of them.  The show will be up for awhile so you all should go check it out. It is off of Del Mar street in San Clemente, which is such a fun part of town!
