What’s for dinner [Personal Musings]

Last week I made one of my favorite recipes. I know it’s summer when I start pulling this one out…because you need things like zucchini, fresh corn and avacados. Chicken and Summer Vegetable Tostadas …click on the link to get the recipe. You can thank me later. 🙂

Here’s my list of ingredients…and many of them, as you can see, are from Trader Joe’s. How did I live before this place!?!

Close your eyes if you don’t eat meat!! I tried to make this raw chicken with spices look as pretty as possible!! 🙂 When I first got married and was learning to cook raw meat used to make me gag…I hated touching it.

Here’s what it looks like all cooked up in the pan. And this is as far as my food photography goes. For two reasons. One: Hungry mobs of children (and one hungry husband) barely let it get to the table. Two: I could never make it look as pretty as they do on Cooking Light. Speaking of…this recipe is good for you too. See! Thank me later!!

Thank you cooking light for the delicious photos!!

In other news, I had such a great photo shoot today! I’m adding on to the Summer series…Summer [by the bay] will be joined by Summer [in the wildflowers]. Coming soon! Let’s just say…long grass, pinwheels, mustard wildflowers, poppies and more!

Ham [Orange County Child Pictures]

This wasn’t the first time we met. I think Gavin remembered me after all of about 5 minutes. He started out shy and coy and before we knew it he was a little ham.

Here’s the beginning of the shoot…

Then he realized he was the star of the show! And look out world…

Cute. Cute. Cute.

These bright sunny pictures have me counting down the June gloom. I can’t wait for the sun to pop out again before lunch…I have some fun ideas to try!!

Rascals to Rebels-Part Two [Orange County Baby Photography]

Here’s part two of the cute overload that took place several weekends ago! I had it all…brand new babies, several sets of twins, curls and a redhead!!

Rascals to Rebels-Part One [Long Beach Child Photographer]

Oh my goodness…life has been running at break-neck speed around here! I just wrapped up my second weekend at Rascals to Rebels, sandwiched around Memorial Day weekend. Sometimes I get so busy with editing, proofing, printing and delivering that I forget to share all the cute pictures with my readers.

So, tonight I took some time to pick out my personal favorites from the first weekend of photo shoots. I’ll have to divide it up between two posts because I photographed SO many cuties.

I love my job and I love working with Rascals to Rebels!

Summer by the Bay [Photos at the Beach]

Summer is upon us! We are diving head first into June and warmer weather is just around the corner. To celebrate, for the entire month of June I’ll be offering By the Bay photo sessions. These are 20 minutes (not as long as a full session…just a taste!) and will include one complimentary digital image of your choice. Prints and other digitals can be purchased a la carte.

I love this area of Long Beach…it’s a little different from doing regular beach photos. The mini board walk has great texture and there are all kinds of hidden treasure along the way like wispy sea grass and distressed walls. We can cross the street and get our toes wet in the calm waters of the bay. I love the pops of color with all the boats in the background. By the Bay sessions won’t last long…so call or email today to book a date!

Yeah for summer!!

European Lullabies [Orange County Child Photographer]

I’ve been photographing these twins since they were just barely sitting. I love hearing their mom sing little European lullabies to get them to smile. I’ve photographed them enough times that I’m starting to learn a few of the tunes. 🙂

Like so many of the twins I’ve photographed recently, they also have a big sister. She’s super sweet and I can always count on an authentic smile from her!

I’m so thankful for all my repeat clients. Getting to watch the babies and kids grow is the ultimate icing on the cake!

Have a great Wednesday…the loooong weekend is just around the corner!

Bunny Ears [Long Beach Children’s Photographer]

Last summer I photographed Parker when she was just two weeks old.

And here she is now showing off some amazing baby flexiblity!

She is such a cutie and also has a big sister who is equally as cute!

Their session took place before Easter so, of course they had to wear bunny ears for a few pictures!

I love seeing these two grow up and I can only imagine all the fun they’ll have together down the road!

More Twins + Long Grass [Long Beach Child Photography]

Here is another set of twins from March…I told you…I photographed A LOT of twins in March!! These two had a big sister who was fantastic with keeping them in the same frame. She either had her arm around each of them or she was being silly to help them smile. What a great big sister!

This was back when my friend Jeni let her backyard grass grow REALLY long for me…but doesn’t it look great!?

Unless you’re crawling, then you’re like…get me out of this jungle!!

I need to think about growing my own patch of LONG grass!!

Twins! [Orange County Newborn Photographer]

The month of March brought so many sets of twins! My very first set of newborn twins were perfect angels…those that are photographers know newborns can be a little tricky to photograph. It’s probably my favorite type of photo session, but if the baby is easily startled by the camera shutter or generally fussy, it can be really hard to get a good photo.

All that to say, I had my fingers crossed that having two newborns at the same time would go over well. It did…and then some!

Here are some pictures of the twins together…

And the girly-girl…

And her twin brother…

This was such a fun experience! I hope to photograph newborn twins again soon!!

4×4 [Orange County Children’s Photographer]

I’m about 2 months behind on my blog, so it was many weeks ago that we had their session and since then the twins have actually been signed with Zuri, the modeling agency I work with.

I should also mention that they have a big brother and sister. Four kids…four years old and younger!

Cuteness exploding all of the place…I’m telling you! What an adorable family. 🙂
