And here’s proof that Miss Pink Ruffles was just as hot without the pink ruffles.

Chanlyma & Jesus are expecting a baby girl and I was so happy to document this time in their lives for them.  Chanlyma was positively glowing as a mom-to-be and Jesus was always there to make sure his baby’s mama was well taken care of.  I can’t wait to meet the newest addition to their family!

Here’s the beautiful-mommy-to-be with makeup beautifully done by Monica Ledesma Taylor of Salon Lavish.

Aren’t the expecting parents so cute?!

One of my favorites of our session:

Some more loveliness:

Jenny & Bryan invited me over to their home or soon-to-be-former home to capture some memories of their time there before they make the next move in their life together. I wanted to capture this husband & wife duo in their natural daily state – just relaxing and enjoying each others company. These two are proof that home is definitely where the heart is.

Typical Sunday morning…

Aren’t these the cutest coffee cups?!

I know Bryan is going to kill me for this photo! I was photographing Jenny & Bryan in their office and on top of HIS desk was this cute Hello Kitty doll. So I made them take a photo with it and then of course I had to post it .

I swear I am not obsessed with feet!

I decided to give being in front of the camera a try for my 29th birthday. I always feel weird looking at myself in photos, but I figured I might as well do something for myself, especially while I can still get away with looking young and frolicking in the grass…lol. I always wanted to do that! So I asked the talented Brian Khang to help capture some fabulicious memories of me and boy did her ever! I was in total awe when I woke up this morning and found that Brian had already posted some on his blog. I couldn’t decide which ones I liked best so I posted them all. The light was just so delicious! Thank you Brian & Helen for such a fun & splendid shoot!

Thank you to the amazing Angelina of the amazing All Made Up Team for her incredible job on my hair & makeup. I know it’s hard to believe, but I don’t wake up looking like this…lol.

The location and light were just soooo yummy!

I borrowed my friend’s old skool camera as a prop for the shoot. I also brought along my dorky sample album .

I vacationed all summer with my Jason Mraz hat and just had to incorporate it into our session.

This is how I prepare for my shoots – with meditation.

First entry of August and it’s a HOT one! Gaetane is a dear friend of mine and she is beautiful, confident and caring. We had a blast traveling together in July and took some time during our trip for this private session which was just as fun as the trip itself! Gaetane’s future is as bright as her smile and I hope to be there to share in all the fun .

Look at that beautiful, bright smile!

Love this photo!

And this one!

In light of the passing of some amazing American icons, I think it’s a reminder of how precious life really is.  I am fortunate to photograph the beginning of life and see how beautiful it is to welcome someone into the world.  Hot mama Sherylle gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Jordyn on June 3, 2009.  13 days later, I visited the beautiful family for some newborn photos of Jordyn and wow she is the cutest little thing!  Congrats to Sherylle and lovely family!

Some table reading and parental help:

Just chilling:

Jordyn was wearing the cutest little onesy:

And the cutest little hat:

Ok I’ll stop going on and on about her cuteness, but seriously, look at those cute lil hands?!

“To poop or not to poop – that is the question“…LOL..this shot was NOT posed folks!

So if you have been reading my blog, you know I just LOVE me some baby feet. And I just could not decide which photo I liked best so I posted all three:

WOW!  Time does fly by!  Our lil’ DJ is already one year old and grows cuter each day! Wendi & Dustin had me come by to capture the big birthday baseball themed bash for their lil’ slugger.  I had a blast and if you can’t tell by these photos – so did everyone else!

Here’s the beautiful birthday boy!

Check out his uniform for the day. Can you guess mommy & daddy’s favorite team?!

Check out all the fantastic details set up by mommy & daddy:

I can’t get enough of this cutey pie!

In line with the theme:

“It’s my birthday and I can cry if I want to!“

Yummy desserts!

Here comes the cake!

Don’t look too excited lil’ one!

Three generations here! Great grandpa turned 91!

Pinata time!

Batter up!

It has been quite a year for Brittany & Brian! Last August, they were joined as husband & wife and this May, they welcomed their precious baby boy Max. I feel soooo incredibly happy and honored to have been a part of such special moments for them. Here’s to many more!

Wake up sleepy Max – we have a photo shoot to do!

Hello there!

I think it’s safe to say Max will be the best dressed in his class

Yes parents pay me to do this kind of stuff to their children:

“How you doing?!”

Too cute for words!
