Tara and Tyrone are a FABULOUS couple! I was so bummed to miss their amazing wedding but lucky for me they agreed to do a portrait session after the wedding. We sent a few emails back and forth about ideas for the session.. where and when we might take their portraits. Tara mentioned doing the session at her home and I was SO excited to try it out! I had all sorts of fun ideas and we came up with the theme of “retro domestic bliss” to describe the day :) Tara even busted out some baking skills and made an actual cake for the shoot! I had so much fun with these two and love all of their images but here are just a few of my favorites… enjoy!

Tryone loves his “coffee” ;)

I have been absolutely dying to get these two in front of my camera ever since I saw their GORGEOUS wedding photos, taken by my super talented stand-in Drew B! Tara and Tyrone hired me as their wedding photographer but I was unable to make it due to pregnancy complications. I was SO excited when they suggested doing their portrait session at their home because I had some super fun ideas for what we could do! I will definitely be posting more of these soon but for now here is a sneak peak of a few of my favorites :)

better looking babies?! I might be a smidge biased because they’re mine, but I can’t believe how big and amazing my little babies have gotten! They’re going to be 4 months old on Monday and the time has really and truly flown by. I can’t get enough of their sweet sweet faces :)

Now that I have my twins it seems like everyone I know and love is having babies too… which is SO exciting (Hello! More baby friends for my little guys :) ) One of my best friends Valena is expecting her second baby, a little girl, in just a few months so I went to Encinitas for the weekend to attend her super fantastic baby shower. There were lots of beautiful decoration, tons of tasty treats, and so many family and friends around to help her welcome this little girl with style!

This whole group of ladies is all family of Valena’s… talk about a lot of family support!  This baby girl’s gonna be surrounded by loving relatives!

And of course what would a baby shower be without lots of ridiculously cute baby gifts?  It was a total pink-fest!

I was called and emailed by a few good friends and clients (thank you guys!! :) ) letting me know that when they visited my site it was doing something fishy with their computer.  I quickly got on the phone with my webhosting company and it looks like we’ve gotten it figured out.  They did a sweep of my server and it should be all fixed up.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you ever see anything funky or fishy going on with my site that I need to know about it.  I obviously want to get things like this cleared up as fast as possible to keep bad things from spreading to my fab clients!

If you did happen to get infected from the weirdness that was going on with the site, please check out this link (recommended by my hosting company, although I’m no tech expert so I can’t give any guarantees) http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/uninstall-antivirus-2009

Hopefully this clears up any trouble any of you may have been having due to the crummy infection on my site… and hopefully it stays away in the future! So sorry for any trouble any of you out there are having with this! The internet is my friend somedays but has also been known to give me a few headaches :) Thanks again to everyone who sent me the warning shout-outs!!
