“joy to the world”

Ok if this doesn’t bring you some holiday cheer then I don’t know what will. Aren’t they so adorable?! Remember baby DJ?! He has grown so much since I last saw him in July and is definitely giving the Gerber baby a run for his money. Kaden is his cute cousin who was 3 weeks old when we did this shoot last month. Talk about a wonderful early Christmas present =). Thank Wendi & Dustin and your family for having the cutest kids ever.

Introducing Kaden – the newest addition to the Damico clan!

I just had to show you these pics to show how much he’s grown in 6 months. The first pic is from our shoot in July and the second one is from November. It’s so fun to see them grow!

Of course we had to dress them up for Christmas. I know these poor kids. But look at how precious they are!

Remember no kids were harmed during this shoot! =)

heidi & warren: wedding

August 27, 2008

“what a wonderful world”

First I would like to thank Wendi & Dustin for referring such an amazing couple to me! Heidi & Warren are easy-going, genuine and madly in love =). Their wedding at the lovely home of Warren’s parents in beautiful Newport Beach was intimate, inspiring and fun. They had a sea-side theme complete with starfishes, gorgeous red & blue tones, but more importantly they included all of their loved ones in this momentous occasion. I was so happy to be a part of it and so happy to see the day had finally come for this great couple.

Heidi & Warren – I can’t thank you enough for being so wonderful. Thank you for inviting me into your wonderful home and blessed lives. I hope to be there for many more cherished moments. And remember to “hold it”! =) xoxo, Kim Le

I just love getting ready shots! Here we start off with Heidi getting all dolled up!

“new soul”

I was thrilled when Wendi & Dustin asked me to take photographs of their newborn baby. If you have been following my blog, you know that I owe the world to Wendi & Dustin. They believed in me when I was just starting out in the business and thanks to their kind words and endless support, I have received countless referrals and opportunities. A lot has happened in the past year not only for me, but Wendi & Dustin as well! They were married and now welcomed baby DJ into their family. I am truly fortunate to witness all their new beginnings and document every step of the way.

Isn’t he soooo darling?!!!

Such a happy family =)

wendi’s baby shower

“oh baby baby”

I feel incredibly blessed for the opportunities I get time and time again as a photographer.  It is a true honor to be a part of the most important days of someone’s life.  Last Saturday was no exception as I continued to follow Wendi’s journey in life (see her & Dustin’s amazing August wedding by clicking here) as we celebrated the soon-to-be addition to the Damico family.  

Wendi’s wedding coordinator and dear friend, Brigitte of Save the Date! Event Planning, did another incredible job of setting up all the details.  Wendi’s other dear friend and my lovely sister, Kim was the caterer extraordinaire for this event. 

**Wendi & Dustin – Words cannot describe how happy I am for you and your family.  I know you will make the greatest parents and shower DJ with oodles of love and affection.  I also know that DJ is destined to become a brilliant baseball player – although I’m not sure if he’ll play for the A’s or Dodgers =).  Whatever the case, I sure hope to be there to capture every step of the way!  xoxo, Kim Le

How cute are Wendi & Dustin?! They plan to name their son “DJ” or Dustin Jr.

Every inch of the clubhouse was beautifully decorated and baby-fied by Brigitte. =)

What shower would not be complete without “baby” games and what event would not be complete without a pic on my blog? =)  Plus here’s the winning sneak peek of DJ.  I can’t decide if he looks more like Wendi or Dustin…hmmm…
