Eight is another number closer to 12! I don’t understand why 12 keeps getting closer. 12 equals 1…YES! ONE!  I can’t imagine my baby girl turning ONE!!!!

Though she actually turned 8 months old on Thanksgiving day, we wanted to do something special just for US.  San Diego doesn’t typically show it’s Seasons.  I mean, we wear flipflops ALL YEAR LONG.  LOL.  One place I do know where you can tell it’s Autumn is at the beautiful Old Poway Park.  We enjoyed the day sitting in the grass with our packed lunch and soaked up the nice cool breeze.  I couldn’t have asked for a better day to spend it with MY family.  The family my HUSBAND and I created.  It’s an amazing feeling.  Through all the tough days being a parent has to offer, this by far makes it all worth it and them some!

Kayla, as much as I hate you growing up, you’re are growing up BEAUTIFULLY inside and out.  There isn’t a day you dont make my heart melt.  You and your brother (and yes, your daddy too) make my life complete and I can’t ask for anything more..

Ok. I’m done being all ‘Hallmark’!

Without further adieu, we welcome Baby Ava.  She’s the wee one of the beautiful maternity session I had at the beach with Angela and Brett back in August.  This little girl was a little too comfy in mommy’s tummy and refused to come out! Nonetheless, the extra baking made her extra squishy!   She was such a good girl during our session, I couldn’t stop clicking away.  I think I clicked so much, she was giving me the stink eye..haha!

Brett and Angela, CONGRATULATIONS on a beautiful baby girl.  Makes me reminisce of the days when Kayla was that tiny! Here are your teasers!

Have you ever tried to take your own family photos? As a photographer and parent, there always seems to be ONE person missing in pictures of my family, the person taking the photo (which is me).  We’ve tried setting up the camera on top of the stroller with a timer, we’ve tried the ‘arm-stretched-out-and-hoping-everyone’s-in-the-frame’ technique, but in the end we end up with this.

As much as I love the quirky, snapshot this is, it’s not one I’d hang on the wall – but maybe in the scrapbook.   So stop kidding yourself that your family photos are just fine, and find someone to help you.  Nothing is more important than capturing what’s most important to you. Many people I come across tell me,”I just can’t afford professional photos”.  I have to agree, it is an investment, but maybe this article, Why Choose Custom Photography, may enlighten you.

I enjoy capturing the random, quirky personality every family has.  I know, and you know, it’s life and it’s not picture perfect, and it’s ok.  Nothing makes a photo more personal than one that can make you laugh, smile and maybe even shed a tear.  When I do a session it’s not formal, sorry to say.  Everyone is dressed comfy (yet stylish), we will laugh, and have fun.  It brings out the natural smile in everyone. So leave the pressed shirts at home, and come in your favorite jeans and rockin’ shirt and let’s capture these precious moments!

I just love having sessions at the beach.  I find that I take it for granted living here in San Diego, and that the only way I find my butt going is if I have a session there.  Both the hubby and child enjoy it as well, as they come with me and they do what boys do best (which is dig holes and make sand castles).

Margie has been a friend of mine, since.well ever since.  We’ve lost contact after high school, and I’m glad we’ve found our way to eachother again.  I don’t know what I would do without her.  She’s taught me so much about  living this ‘Wife and Mom life’, I owe her so much.  When I feel caught up in the drama, she’s one I can turn to and bring me back to reality.  She doesn’t judge, nor does she question…shes a girlfriend and I love her!

So Margie and Dan, thanks for today. THANKS FOR IN AND OUT …here are your teasers! YES, I’m only giving you two for now! lol.
