Can I just tell you how much fun it is to work with soon-to-be new parents! The excitement, anticipation, wonder, joy and love is totally contagious!
Baby boy is due in a few weeks and he will be welcomed into the world by two really great people, it was so much fun to work with them and I can’t wait to hear all about the new baby soon.

Thanks for letting me capture this amazing time for you, it’s an honor to be welcomed in for a few hours and help you share the joy of your soon to be bigger family.

52 weeks ~ week two.

 

I am late to post due to connectivity issues, but I did take this last week!

One of our favorite things to do is visit our local farmers market. The fruits and veggies are always beautiful and the girls love the samples. We also see something we have never seen before and this time I stopped to take a closer look. While I have no idea what these are really called, the petals looked more like feathers than part of a flower and they made me happy =)

52 weeks

I have decided to join a 52 weeks project with some photographer friends. While this is something I have wanted to do for awhile, life is busy and this has always seemed to add to may already long to-do list so I haven’t done it.

So why is now such a good time? Well, actually, it’s not. It’s just that as I thought about our group’s theme of “closer” and what it meant to me, I realized that there will NEVER bee a good time.
The truth is that I am doing this for myself. I want to take a closer look at life, my surroundings, my family. Sometimes I get so tied to getting the perfect shot, that I forget to see what is really happening. I was actually getting so focused on the shot that I was missing life, so I stopped taking my camera with me when I wasn’t working.
Please bear with me as this project isn’t about the perfect shot. I really hope it will be about the imperfect shot, but in the end I will have one photo a week to remind me of my journey through 2012.

 

*week one ~ viewing some of the largest waves to hit so-cal in quite awhile*

We have not a had a professional family shoot since my son was 2, because of multiple job layoffs…My son is now 5 AND we have a 1 1/2 yr old daughter! We would be thrilled to have a chance to get some amazing, long over due, family shots….fingers crossed!!

happy holidays!

 

We took the girls to see Santa at the San Diego Botanical Gardens and Teags marched up and told him who has been naughty. Ella just turned red and tried to deflect the accusation with Raggedy Ann. ha ha

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
