A fun Father's Day gift.....

I haven't been able to share this one because it was a Father's day gift!
What a fab idea huh?!
I love when I get to photograph kids that I have shot before!
It is so fun to see them grow up and have new add-ons to the family!

Here is the new add-on! Isn't she a total doll?! I am, PERTUALLY, searching for props!
I had found a vintage swimming cap a long time, that I shot HERE previously.
After I shot it, I just had to have another one! So I found this little beauty before this session and thought that this little lady would suit it perfectly.......and so she has!





I LOVED this dog! She was SO big but so much fun to have in the photos! I am glad that they brought her.

My Mr. Delicious.....

My little guy. How did I wind up with such a gorgeous child?!
He does look JUST. LIKE. HIS. DAD.
Sooooo I guess that would explain his beauty.
Although, he is a gorgeous BOY. All boy.....very boy looking in every shape and form.
If our little girl came out looking like him, I might be really sad....is that a horrible thing to say?!
When I was pregnant with Mr. D I had dreams that he was going to come out with rat teeth and a mullet.
NO JOKE...at least two times I had that dream!
I told the nurse in my dream...."well at least I can cut his hair, but what I am supposed to do about those ugly teeth?"
Why do I have the most bizarre YET so real dreams when I am pregnant?!
And you're supposed to be relaxed and calm while pregnant....who came up with that idea?!?

Well....this boy is fun and I can handle a fun girl!
He has started to say "cheese" whenever I get the camera out
(which I am not sure why, I don't EVER say that!)
He gets out my tripod and pretends it's a camera!
He loves it though and of course SO DO I!
I can't believe that he will be two in less than two weeks.

Mountain View 2009 Prom.....

This was a little impromptu photo shoot!
I got asked to quickly pop over and take a few shots for this "promers" on their way out!
So much fun.....I cannot believe that my prom was ever that long ago!




Girlfriends.....

The dudes.....

Can the entire dress fit in a sports car?!



As you can tell, they are a fun group!

Dear Etsy......

Thank you for making beautiful for things to buy for the little bit of pink that is coming my way soon.....

Oh cute burp cloths....thank you for making spit-up more pretty....

Oh headbands.....so many sweet headbands......

Each day the DH asks me (in his most sweet kind James Bond voice),

"Sweetheart how many more packages are coming?"

....I keep telling him (in my most sweet American pie voice),

"Not many more hun."



.......only 7 to be exact but I'll keep that little number to myself.....hee hee!

A sweet NEW little boy....

This just gets me all mushy and anxious for my newborn....

Family of my own.....

Doing family photos has become a regular staple when we go back to Arizona to visit!
Since we live so far and don't get together often they must be done!!!
It is always a riot to watch us from a distance! I, of course, am counting with the tripod all by it's lonesome and me running back to my place as I set the timer! (I need my darn remote!)
I wish I would have been a little more pregnant to show that TRULY I was pregnant and don't ask me about my hair.....what was I thinking?!
NONETHELESS, I treasure these photos since they are all a huge distance from me! I can look at them and feel like I am not so far.


Here is the whole crew!

DB....is the sweetest guy....just being sweet....love this shot!

The siblings always gotta get the fam shots in....lovin' it!

Cute cousins...

The grandkids....this is was about the best we could get but I must say....they are all being very true to their nature.....minus the screaming "L" she is normally like this......

A super dad & uber cute mom....

Yet another cute family for me to have a lot of fun with!

I'm thinking that they LOVE it too!





Now that is one gorgeous couple!

Another darling pair.....

A big brother and a little sister.....

Seriously....this guy.....WHAT. A. HAM!







And a cute little sister to boot....not even old enough to say much and yet she smiled for me like a little model pro! I am really hoping that my little girl likes to pose as much as the little girls I get to shoot!




Isn't she just darling?!


Awwww...and one together!

Two cutes....

Having shot this little girl before it was such a treat to shoot her again with her brother.
She wasn't a big lover of the camera when I first shot her but she was NOT shy this time!
In true lady form she loved up to the camera and had a good time.....so did I!
