I took the kids out the other day to check out some of the local parks.  As you can see from the pictures, when I put my 3 kids in close vicinity it gets a little crazy!

And of course I mean crazy…crazy-good. 🙂

I got the chance to photograph Olivia in her second week of life.  She was quite the little angel…letting me move her around, repositioning and such to get the perfect newborn poses.  I love this stage because they curl up exactly as you imagine they looked in the womb.  It’s simply amazing.






There’s nothing like a newborn smile.  It’s as if Olivia knew that this was her photo-op.



It was an absolute joy to photograph the beautiful miss Olivia…thank you!

Gotta love kids in their goggles…


We spent fourth of July swimming alllll day!

Here’s one of Jilly in the jacuzzi (or cajuzzi as she calls it) at the very end of the day.

At one point Brent and his brother were throwing the kids into the pool.  It quickly turned into who can be thrown the highest…yikes.


You’ll be happy to know that everyone seen here survived the day. 🙂

What is it good for?  …apparently reflecting a nice peachy light for photos in the bathroom. 

We are staying with Brent’s parents right now and using their retro bathroom.  I was getting Jillian ready this morning and noticed how pretty her skin looked with the light reflecting off the tile.  So, here’s a new use for pink bathroom tile. 🙂  By the way, this photo has no photo editing besides sharpening.

I was able to meet Rachel awhile back and do some photos of the deliciously gorgeous peach.  We planned to hang out for a bit, so it was nice to fit a bit of everything into the photo shoot.
Peaches slept and cozied up into all the newborn positions…even though she is 8 weeks old.

 
A little fun with toy camera action…

I’m drooling over this dresser…



This family shot is going into the runnings for my favorite ever.  And not just because Rachel is a great friend!

Sorry for being absent for so long.  I’m a bit behind on just about everything right now…but I’m working on all new products and a whole new system for how I do business.  Exciting!  And the even better news is that we may have a house in the near future.  Yeah.

about Jillian:
1.  She hates watermelon.  My friend Maggie says whaaaaaaat?  You don’t like watermelon?????  But, it’s true, for whatever reason she doesn’t like it.

2.  She is good at pretending.  🙂

3.  She has an amazing laugh!

Brent has moved into his new office, so his father’s day present was an arrangement of canvases of our kids.  I wanted an updated picture of Jillian and I pictured her in bright vibrant colors and wanted an image that said…summer fun!…so she obliged me by pretending she likes watermelon.

I shot all these wiiiiide open at 1.2…don’t you love the blurry mess in the background!?

I think the best way to describe two year old Amanda is happy-go-lucky.  She jumped out of the car at Half Moon Bay with a huge smile, despite an hour long car ride and being a little under the weather.  The entire session she just had fun, danced around and was a total sweetheart. 🙂

And here's a little fun with mom and dad…  

This was my last northern CA photo session…for now.  So, I'm glad I was able to go out with a bang!  If anyone will be visiting the southern CA area, I'm setting up shop in Long Beach. 🙂

I survived the heat on Friday with Justin, Jordan, Jalen and their parents.  :)  They were absolute troupers as we walked through the park and even changed outfits several times. 

The following family picture is one of my all time favorites…I just love how everything worked out with the layout.

Here are some super cute pictures with mom and dad…

Thanks guys!  I hope you enjoy the pictures!

This post is going to be short on words, because we're in the middle of a move.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  Harper is the cutest retro baby!  She just turned one. 🙂

You are simply adorable, Harper!
