Beach family portrait session at the Ventura Pier...

Every image is photographed in color and all images are available to preview online in black and white and sepia as well...this is great because you may decide you want color or sepia depending on where you want to hang them in your home and what colors are in the photos. We can help you figure that out if you need help!

I love this...you can see their personalities...this was a totally fun session!

Awe...this is for Mom!

So cute!

Family photos on the beach in Malibu...

Family Portrait Session in Montecito

This is so cool! In 2005 I photographed the couple on the far rights wedding and last week I had the great privilege of photographing their family. It's just so neat to see a family as they grow...I love that!

This is their baby! Isn't he precious!!

Ear Infection #6 in one year!

Can you imagine 6 ear infections in one year? Crazyness!! Here's the good part--it's hard to tell he even has one because he doesn't act any different except for he will wake up once in the middle of the night with a sudden cry. I actually thought he had a bad dream but turns out it's his ears. Of the 6--3 have been double's. This is a double! Praise God for antibiotics.

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!

Merry Christmas!

Joey and Daddy.

He sees a doggy.

Ok, the photo below was taken this morning as Joey watched a video our day care provider Michelle made for us of photos from this past year of all the kids. He's playing playdough and yelling out the kids names. I love when he says his own name "JOEY!".

We had a very nice and mellow Christmas this year. We went to Christmas Eve service on Monday and then had a couple of friends over for our traditional lasagna dinner. Played a few games--it was really nice! Then Christmas day Nick made a nice big breakfast and we watched Joey open his gifts. He was sort of not sure what to do. It was a great opportunity to practice our thank-yous! After naps we went to the park with Joey---it was really great light and we had the park all to ourselves. We finished off the day with grilled cheese and tomato soup and movie (I love movies---and ice cream!). I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating the Lords birth!
