Babies and toddlers alike laugh at my jokes. 🙂
This session is from the archives. 2010! Doesn’t it seem like forever ago? That’s the beauty of pictures. Time frozen. As I type, I’m thinking about all the things I have to do today. Clean the floors, finish the laundry. I’m going to blink and have teenagers. One is dangerously close. 6th grade. How did that happen?
You know our parents feel the same way about us. They look at us like the little kids we once were running around their house and it feels just like yesterday. So, freeze time. Take pictures. Live your life and document it along the way!
Oh Joy! teamed up with Anthropologie for the launch of their new petite line. Last Thursday at the Newport Beach store, customers were treated to a preview of the collection. Of course, it isn’t a party without Sweet and Saucy. Sparkling wine and an array of appetizers rounded out the evening. I got to chat with Joy and she was as sweet as could be. So down-to-earth.
I was hired to document the evening, so here’s a sneak peek with more to come the Anthropologie’s Facebook page!
I’m so excited to be back at Rascals to Rebels for a Back to School event! I can’t believe summer is almost over, but what better way to start the year than with great pictures of your kids. And hello, SO much better than the cheesy backdrops they use at school! It’s going to be fun, so don’t miss out. Head over to the store and buy a cute outfit for the photo sessions!
**The fine print details are…session itself is complimentary when you spend $50 at the store. The sessions take place Sept. 8 and 9 at the store. The event is for kids 12 and under with a max of 3 kids per 15 minute session.
The world needs more chubby babies and curly headed toddlers. There just aren’t enough.
It’s the little things. Like soft sweet newborn skin and fuzzy hair. Teeny tiny fingernails and feet that have never touched the ground. Even better is when older siblings are in awe of all the little things and let me document it with my camera.
Love.
Do you ever go to the grocery store without make up? And scraggly hair? Those are the days that you see people you know. Instead of running up to greet them, I tend to hide behind cereal boxes. I know, it’s probably not my best characteristic, but I just don’t like to be seen at my worst. Two summers ago I was standing in line at the airport in Missoula, MT after a week of visiting my parents when I saw a girl I went to high school with. She was the star singer of the chorus- an adorable petite blonde. I of course, was coming off a week of camping and hiking. ie- NOT my best. I didn’t let my pride stand in the way and called out her name. She was just as sweet as I remembered and we chatted for a bit. Fast forward through the months and we are friends on facebook. She asked if I’d be visiting home this summer and lo and behold, I was going to be there the same week as her family. We took it as fate and she hired me to take her family’s photos. I loved the location she chose and the fact that even though her husband and kids didn’t grow up in Montana like we did, they were so at home. It was a perfect evening that I hope they’ll always remember.
I’m guesting this week on the Little Skye blog! Click here for full directions on how to make this super cute felted flower headband.
Over the last few weeks, I shot a lot of Oilily at home and at Hume Lake. It’s such cute stuff, so I wanted to share it with you here!
Summers are mish-mash of playing with the kids, speaking trips for Brent, having friends to my home and frozen yogurt. Lots of Yogurtland. I do actually work in between all that, but I’m lucky enough to plan my own schedule. Sometimes I take a job wherever we are traveling, sometimes I just squeeze photo sessions into the days we are at home before we turn around again. Speaking of turning around again, this week we are at Mt. Hermon. It’s a camp near Santa Cruz. Last year was our first time for Brent to teach at the family camp and it was an unforgettable week! Part of the awesome-ness was being able to spend the week with our friends from the Bay Area. Our kids are all best friends, so a week of non-stop hang out time was like fitting a year of friendship into 7 days. It’s fun.
Last year I took a few photos of the kids having the time of their life…
