Busy with Christmas Family Portraits...

These family portraits helped to raise money for our church's building fund. Thank you to all that participated in helping make Camarillo EV Free handicap accessible.

A baby has been born!!!

This is a good friend of mine who is now the proud mommy of 4!

She thought it would be cool to have the baby on Oct. 10 (10/10) at 10:10pm...so we took a photo at that time...let's just say the baby had another plan.

A fascinated brother.

The comfort of her mother.

He's here! 8 lbs, 9 oz. Her biggest baby of all!

The proud Dad!

Gorgeous! What a blessing.

Family Portraits at the Ventura Pier...

For those of you that have been thinking about Christmas photos already--you are right on target...now is the perfect time to book a session! Give yourself the time you need to look over the photos and order Christmas cards and gifts without the stress of running out of time. You may also consider going in on a gift certificate for a portrait session for your parents or grandparents and setting up a date to shoot around the holidays NOW to get some great photos while the whole family is together. Photo shoots around the holidays tend to go quickly so call today to find out our availability!

Destination High School Senior Portraits at the beach!

I just love her serious face! With the senior sessions you have unlimited clothing changes and unlimited locations! One hour to be the model! It's a lot of fun...I LOVE to shoot senior portraits.

PS-Don't worry Mom I took lots of smiles too!!

A baby has been born!!!

5 lbs, 15 oz, 18 inches long (and 12 days overdue)

Daddy!

This is the BIG sister and Grandpa.

I was so excited to be asked to photograph a birth!! They were planning on a home birth...however after being 12 days overdue this little baby decided she'd rather make a dramatic entrance at the hospital. She had to have a c section so we weren't able to get the birth photography I think they had in mind but still was able to get some great shots. Look at her!! Isn't she precious!

My gorgeous Editor Peggy Ann....

Peggy Ann is the amazingly talented editor that goes through every image that I shoot and makes sure they pop! And for all you photographers out there that want to get in on this gem--forget about it--I think I am already working her to blindness! Love you Peggy Ann!!

Her husband is serving our wonderful country in Iraq--these pics are for him! Please pray for all our soldiers as well as the families here waiting for them to return.

High School Senior Portraits- Love them!! So much fun!

We took a few minutes to get some shots with his
little brother-how cute?!

Love this!

Baby girl on the way...Congratulations!

This is my friend and fantastic florist Camille and her husband Jim.
Aren't they adorable!

Then we went outside for a few...

Mommy and Daddy are so in love!

What a fun weekend with friends!

We went to a Valentine's Dinner at El Torito
with our friends from church (CEFC).

At the end of dinner we played "The Newlywed Game"...hysterical! If you have never played this game it's basically a game to see how well you know your spouse.

Believe it or not we had a tie so we had a bonus round and this guy actually new his mother-in-laws birthday! Amazing--talk about breaking down a stereotype.

We watched the Superbowl with friends and ate a LOT!

Now it's Monday and my baby is sick. :( Not a happy camper.

I know this is so wrong...but I had to share...

I love this kid!

I love his feet together and the fact that he has to have a book with him.


I think it's so cute how he tries to shut the door to have his privacy...well, considering where these pics wound up--I guess I can see why. :)

I am so blessed!

Joey's first haircut! Bye bye mullet!

Joey had his first haircut (at 17-1/2 months) today! We took him to a kid salon to make it special. They had a movie playing and bright colored walls. As soon as he got in the chair he started to flip out....but we saved the whole experience with a chicken nugget. So he basically ate his nugget and by the time his nugget was gone the haircut was over (like 7 minutes).

These were taken later in the day as he played around the house.

He's trying to give me a kiss! How sweet!
