She captured our love {My Life}

I can’t tell you how much my family means to me.  My kids and my husband are my life.  I have mountains and mountains of pictures of them… but hardly any pictures of all of us.  And pictures of all of us are important.  For our kids first birthday this past fall we decided to get a family portrait session with the truly amazing Tara Whitney.  She is the master of family photography.  Every one of her pictures is so REAL and captures LIFE and LOVE and that was exactly what I wanted for our family portraits.

I was so excited and nervous for the session… would we pick the right things to wear?  Would the kids cooperate?  Would there be enough light in our new place (we took these about a week after moving to our current home)… I wanted desperately for these pictures to show what this part of our lives was like and how much joy we have.

Well I needn’t have worried because Tara had us covered.  They are more gorgeous and more true and real and heartfelt than I could have even imagine.  I love each one to bits.  She just blogged our session today and these are a few of my favorites.  If you want to see more definitely stop by her blog to see the full post.







Thank you Tara! I love them!

Happy Valentine’s Weekend {My Life}

I know the blog has been a little (ok a lot) slow lately. I am going on a weekend break and I will be out of the office until Tuesday. When I get back there will be a lot of new posts coming.

In the meantime, it’s been much too long since I posted any pictures of my two favorite valentines (no offense to the husband of course). My tiny babies looking not so tiny any more, but I love them more than ever. Happy Valentine’s day to everyone!

Happy New Year (and a sneak peek)

Happy New Year! I’m finally back from our week and a half long holiday break and I can’t believe it’s already 2010… a whole new decade! I have a whole heap of new and fun things to blog but first up a little sneak peek of one of my favorite images from a portrait session back in November. I just love the late afternoon sunshine :) !

Amanda & Steve {vintage engagement}

These photos are a long time in coming… they’ve been burning a hole in my virtual pocket just waiting to be shared with you all… if only I could get enough time to blog!

Amanda and Steve are awesome.  Hands down fabulous couple!  They won my giveaway a few months back and I had such a blast shooting their “retro recreation”.  In case you don’t remember the story, Amanda’s parents eloped and her mom wore a super sweet minidress to their wedding.  Amanda wanted to recreate that day with a retro car and a sweet minidress of her own :)   I scoured Los Angeles to come up with the location I had pictured in my mind and I found the perfect spot :) They turned out even better than I hoped and I love them all! Amanda you looked fabulous!
