Oh Creativity…

…how I’ve missed thee.

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to actually sit down and ‘play’. These pics were taken ONE MONTH AGO and it barely made it to my digital darkroom. Shame on me…

Best gift from the ‘kids’ contest

Sheryl — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 04:40:20 +0000

I had to think LONG AND HARD for the perfect Father’s Day gift for Paul. I didn’t want to make the holiday an ‘excuse’ for cool and expensive things, so we both agreed THIS YEAR (so yes, including Mother’s Day) we said it’s going to be From the kids. Nonetheless, I still wanted to give him a kick butt gift that will make his heart melt. He did it to me, and I was determined to do it right back at him. Yes, I’m competitive..but heck HE IS MORE COMPETITIVE THAN ME!

So what better way to make him smile, than to do it with photos. It’s a long lasting gift that actually appreciates in value…and of course, I live and breathe photography! . I can honestly say that I thought that I was going to be the ‘worst’ Father’s Day gifter ever. I didn’t think I could pull anything off given the free time we have and the busy schedule we had laid out day prior. With the help of my sister, OH THANK YOU SO MUCH BTW, I sent Paul off to get new tires for my car and off we went. I got the kiddos dressed in Padres gear and headed to Petco Park, the home of the San Diego Padres.

Lighting was patchy, it was almost high noon, the kids were energized (and OMG, my fellow photographers know, it’s not easy photographing your own children..). I thought this was just going to be a snapshot session. I did the best I can and well, my mommy goggles are LOVIN’ them! When it came down to editing the photos, I came out with enough for me to get a digital photo frame and put it all on there. I knew if I printed them all, well, it would make it to the top of his desk and lost in never never land! LOL. So, mission accomplished, and by golly, I think I won this years ribbon for ‘best’ gift.

Here is the photo that inspired me to do the session.

Here is the updated photo!

Then, it’s a must to add the Miss.

Then having some fun around the Park.

I’m tempted to have this printed big, just for Paul.

Two of a Kind

Sheryl — Sun, 02 May 2010 05:07:23 +0000

I know having twins is a tough job, but these two made my job E-A-S-Y! Not only did we have so much fun, I had a great workout.

While getting to know Bryn and Blaine, I can’t imagine a more perfect pair. First of all, having one of each gender is WOW already. Then having them each be different in personality yet so alike at the same time just made me want to learn more about them! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Bryn’s beautiful locks, and not to mention Blaine’s boyish demeanor. With the time we spent with eachother making the loudest of sounds, and jumping around like no one was looking (ok, so I was making the loudest sounds and jumping around), getting a hug from Bryn and a wet kiss from Blaine just melted my heart.

Kellie, thank you so much for bringing out the two to come and and play with me and my rugrats. As I mentioned to you before, I commend you!! You are indeed very lucky to have these perfect babies! I’m glad to have shown you Balboa Park, and I’d love to suggest more fun go to places in San Diego once you’re all settled! Here are your teasers.

AND BECAUSE I COULDNT HELP SHARE THIS ONE WITH YOU….

Go Canon Go!

So the dear hubby, being a fellow HOUSE fan, text messages me about an article he had read online. What made it interesting, besides it being about a SEASON FINALE on a show we (try our hardest) to watch religiously, is that it was ALL SHOT on a Canon 5dMii.

WHAT?!?! A DSLR???

YUP!

Now, how cool is that. You go Canon with your bad self! Here is the article if you’re interested!

In OTHER news, look what I have coming up. Two newborns, a 2 year old and a 7 year old, all from the wonderful city of Riverside! Yup, I had a great opportunity to capture some beautiful children 1 1/2 hour drive north of me. So if you’re in the Riverside area, and wish to have a session with me, let me know! I’d love to make another trip up.

Baby Isa

Sheryl — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 07:08:27 +0000

What a doll!! For being 3 weeks old, she was super tiny and was made my job COMPLETELY easy. She slept as soon as I got there, didn’t soil a single item, and STAYED asleep even after I left. She is precious in every way. From the tiny toes, to the sweet rosy lips, I couldn’t get my camera off of her. She is the ying to the yang, as she is the 3rd of 3 girls. It was great to meet the older sisters as they showed pure energy and excitement for their baby sister. As I spoke with Dad, he told me they were trying for a boy, and were happily given 3 girls. Jokingly I replied, “3 stikes’, and he smiled and said…’more like homeruns’! HOW SWEET!!

Mom and Dad, enjoy your teasers!

Better late than never.

So my little Kayla has already turned 11 months old BEFORE I posted her 1o month photos. What kind of bad mother am I? At least I had already taken the photos, right?! LOL. She has amazed me with how fast her little mind is growing. She repeats a lot of the sounds she hears, responds to her name with a loud, “EH?!” and is just IN LOVE with Keoni. Those two are just a riot to watch. I hope this bond will last a lifetime!

She was such a trooper during this little mini session. It was raining all day, but I NEEDED to get these done. I also was on the lookout for a field of wild flowers. Paul and I had packed the kids, grabbed the iphone, and looked around in a location, I *thought* would have what I’m looking for. Low and behold, what I was looking for was just on the other side of the hill from where I exit the freeway! I see so much potential here, I’m excited! The ONLY downfall is that it’s a horse trail..and well, we must watch out for surprises! LOL. If I go high enough on the hill, the trail is far away!

Now..must start planning her first birthday party! EEKS!

1/2 a Year

Sheryl — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:09:03 +0000

So the Miss has decided to turn 6 months old on me. Why? I think she had a deal with Father Time! . I love how she is full of expression and emotion. She gives big hugs and laughs at anything and everything that amuses her. She’s a little timid, but once you get on her good side, typically by offering her food, she will play with you. She’s already grabbing food out of our hands, and leaving us with a smirk. I enjoy spending every moment watching her grow, watching her discover, watching her…be her.

Her brother has learned a lot from his sister. He’s learned to share, laugh and most of all love her. Though I think he’s teaching her to tag-team with him against the ‘big people’. Words can’t express how much my heart melts to see them interact and play. Every time Kayla sees her big brother, she flails her arms and legs with joy. I love hearing giggles coming from the room.

He is such a great brother.

Memorable Mondays

Sheryl — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:22:43 +0000

If you know my life, then you know that we are ALWAYS out and about on weekends (no matter how much housework there is)! Since the busy work week keeps us pretty much in a routine with the kids, we always told eachother we want to spend quality time with the kids with no worries of what needs to get done (to an extent) on weekends. So I decided to start ‘Memorable Mondays’. This will recap what we did for the weekend/week.

This weekend was the Pacific Islander Festival Association’s 15th annual luau. Paul and I have been gonig every year with eachother since we’ve met – so that’s 8 years straight. It’s a great tradition we have and I love being to now bring my wee family to it as well. This being Keoni’s 3rd time, he knew exactly where we were and what to anticipate. Kayla, however, was a little overwhelmed, but enjoyed herself nonetheless. We typically leave bright and early in the AM (like 7am) to get prime parking and seating since over 50,000 people go every year. Over the years we’ve mastered what to bring and how to drag it to the beach – cooler of drinks, snacks, blankets, mini tent for the kiddos, chairs, and SUNBLOCK) all thrown into the strollers, ha! At PIFA, theres great food, music, entertainment, vendors and a lot of fun.

A Boy's Pet

Sheryl — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 20:15:22 +0000

So this morning Hubby was fixing up the yard, and the two BOYS found themselves a new pet! Yup, without question, they picked up these little wiggly thing and started to play with it….YUCK!!! I could not IMAGINE holding it in my hand for as long as K did. At least he wasn’t scared! I, on the other hand, stayed inside! lol.
