Welcome back to the office for all of you who had a nice long holiday weekend! I know mine was nice….spent time with my sister and the baby, then with Rico’s family and his sister’s new baby. Lots of babies (for other people of course, nothing on the horizon for us…I can promise you that)!!!!  So I thought I’d start this week off as a bragging auntie and share the pictures we took this weekend of both of our new nieces. I know you saw Addy already, but I couldn’t resist sharing more pics, and we’ve been dying to do a shoot with Amalia and jumped at the chance when she came into town from Michigan for Thanksgiving! So enjoy the pictures, they’re pretty freaking cute if I do say so myself. Amalia & Addy, we love you and CAN’T WAIT to spoil you for YEARS to come (not that you’re reading this, although that would be impressive, I’ll leave it to your parents to relay the message). Also, I was going to include some nice tips for you all about photography prep for your wedding, but I think I’ll hold off on that for today and post later this week….I’ll let you enjoy the babies for now, because really, they are quite enjoyable.

Whenever I think about that EXTREMELY explosive diaper that I changed for Addy, I’m just going to come back to this picture…just look at that face, totally worth it.

Amalia looking a little skeptical…wonder where she got that from?

Is it really Monday again? I must admit, it’s a tired one for me. We were in Carmel last week and then came home to an engagement session, maternity shoot, and then a trash the dress. Then on Friday my sister gave birth to her first child Adalyn Grace (two weeks early!). So even though I find myself on the tired side today, it was well worth it because this weekend was fabulous. I love newborns…how can you not?? I especially love this newborn (I’m biased)….just look at her though, hard not to! So today this blog post is going to be on the personal side as I introduce to you my beautiful niece Adalyn Grace. Sarah and Jon, I’m so proud of you, so proud of your strength and endurance and I know you’ll be amazing parents. I love you!

(stay tuned to the blog this week internet….we have some pretty awesome stuff to show you this week. Extra blog love because well, I love you all!)

Happy Monday my friends! I hope you’re all enjoying the start of your week and that your day will be just a little bit better due to the Monday blog post! (my favorite part of Monday, I must admit). I have a good one for you today too. You might remember the Aguirres from a shoot we did with them a while back. They were that adorable family that looked like they came straight out of a magazine. So photogenic, so beautiful and fun to be around, yes that’s them. Well, they decided they wanted to do another shoot with us but this time with just the kids. They also wanted to start later in the day to incorporate some night shots, we love anything that’s a little different than the norm so we happily obliged. I don’t have to say much more about these kids because the pictures speak for themselves on just how adorable they are, so I’ll leave you to it! Thanks for a fabulous shoot once again Aguirres and can’t wait for more to come! Enjoy!
