Family,Personal,Portrait 11.30.2009 ADALYN.AMALIA

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?

Family,Personal 11.02.2009 ADALYN grace

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!)

Personal,Video 09.17.2009 CARLEIGH birthday

Happy Thursday everyone! Today is a special day because it’s the birthday of a very dear friend of mine. Carleigh and I were roommates for several years during college and have remained close since then. She is dear to my heart and one of the handful of people I know that truly understands me (a tough task too, I kid you not). Carleigh, I love you and I wish you the best on your birthday. I know you’re heartbroken because of Poppy’s passing, but I just know he’s watching you right now and is celebrating (along with all of us) your life and the beautiful strong woman you’ve become. Thank you for being such a blessing to me and and to everyone around you (I know there are a lot of you out there that feel equally as blessed to have Carleigh in your life).

In honor of Carleigh’s birthday I thought I’d post the wedding video we made for her this past July (if you look closely you might just spot me, I’m one of the bridesmaids). I love you Carlosita and Happy Birthday!!!! xoxoxo
