london calling

I finally had the opportunity to take pictures of my little friend, London. At 15 months old, she'll win you over the moment she lays her big blue eyes on you. I spent an early Sunday morning with London and her mommy Nicole at El Matador State Beach. It was fun to watch her play, discover her own shadow, and seeing her find a fascination with the puddles that collect around the rocks on the shoreline. Getting out into the water? She'll kindly wave hello to it from a safe distance :) Here's a preview... enjoy!

bonnie + evan maternity shoot

One the best things about this job is being able to do photo shoots with old friends. We've known Bonnie and Evan since my husband worked with Evan back at THQ. Soon after, we met Bonnie and I remember all of us doing Irish car bombs at the Sagebrush the night we met! I know, classy, right? Fast forward to Bonnie and Evan getting married and my daughter as one of her flower girls. Awesome day.   Now lightspeed to today and Bonnie is just days away from having a baby boy. I couldn't have missed this shoot for the world as I absolutely adore them! Bonnie, you were a trooper that day. I know that the horseflies and 90 degree summer heat did not help! Needless to say you are glowing in every picture and I love how they all turned out. Here are my top faves. Thanks again for including us in yet another milestone of your lives. We look forward to meeting baby Jack and for his upcoming close up. ;)   

The Ochsner Family at El Matador State Beach

It was a year ago that I met Kris, Lance and baby Avery. She was 6 months old at the time and today, at 18 months, she is on the move with world as her oyster. Avery loved the water so much you could barely hold her back! It was such a fun afternoon at El Matador. The sun, the high tide and the classic look you guys brought with you were priceless. Grabbing these moments make me love what I do even more. Thanks for the opportunity once again. Much love to you three!!! Enjoy the highlights :)
