Cooper is 100% boy…jumping into leaves, throwing sticks & collecting pine cones! Happy 2nd Birthday!

Dean celebrated his 9th birthday at Scooter’s Jungle last weekend. This place is incredible! A HUGE slide, several bouncing play yards, air hockey, and ping pong tables. The room was filled with laughter and bright big smiles.

He loves:

• watering
• throwing rocks
• eating leaves
• splashing in the water
• exploring in the backyard
• picking the petals off the flowers
• playing with the hose

Thankfully, all of this exploring in the backyard gives me time to work!

This sweet 3 year old has new little baby sister to watch after. Her mother had some complications after the delivery so they just got around to booking the session. But you can tell by the photos these girls are going to be great sisters and best friends.

I photographed these two loving siblings when I was in Tucson for the holidays. They cracked me up. Always posing for the camera!

I was hired my friend to take their annual Christmas card photo for her parents. Their are eleven grandchildren in the family. I knew it would be a huge challenge. But hey, I was ready! They each wore shirts in the order they were born. Adorable idea. Followed by a few mini sessions. Overall, FUN day! Thanks guys!

This cute little girl SLEPT THROUGH her 1st birthday cake and missed out on all the fun. So, we took some pictures in various outfits and then let her get stick those itty bitty fingers into some birthday cake.

My husband’s cousin contacted me to photograph their family for this year’s Christmas cards. They just found out they are expecting baby #2 in early June! So exciting!

A dear friend of mine asked me to design her daughter’s 1st birthday invites, as well as take some pictures. I took a few pictures of her older daughter, as well.

This was my first beach session. And I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle three boys. But, they were incredible. Always looking out for each other and very attentive. Great kids! And such a fun evening. This is *one* of my favorite locations in Malibu. The other is the where I got married. :)

My friend’s daughter has the most gorgeous red curls. I asked if I could take some pictures of her for my portfolio & promo pieces. Isn’t she beautiful!
