Springtime

Ah yes, it's springtime in So. Cal. The hills are beautiful and full of blossoms. We are all...
suffering from allergies, but I don't want to dwell on the negative. We had to take a little time out to go capture some beauty with my babies. And yes, we were all sneezing incesantly the rest of the evening from playing in the fields!

Little bit of fun on some little bitty tracks.

Little A just decided to camp out for a moment and do some pensive thinking. Too cute!

Happy Spring everyone!

Hog Heaven

I must admit, I've never fully been able to picture myself on a Harley and some of the folks I see riding Harleys, in packs, for example, can seem down-right intimidating. After this shoot, I definitely see Harleys in a whole other light! These bikes made some I know and love drool!


This adventureous and fun-loving couple picked themselves up a new pair of Harleys for some together time! Sahweeeet idea!

Yes, this couple and these Harleys are H-O-T! More pics to follow...

Easter Memories

Yes, we had the annual Easter Egg coloring and hunt in the backyard. D was able to find the bonus egg filled with money and was thrilled to be the lucky one.


Little A was all into the hunt this year! She was not going to be empty handed!

A little of sibling bonding, yes it can happen, even at our house!

Double Trouble, and I mean Double

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have twins? Yeah, well, how about if you had TWO sets of twins!!! Plus an adorable little cherub caboose!! Yes, my friends, I have witnessed it with my own eyes. This shoot was keeping me hopping, running and every other verb I can possibly think of. But we did have success in keeping 5 kiddos ages 6 and under looking at least towards the direction of the camera at least 50% of the time... thanks largely to grandma & grandpa who graciously joined the team to help out with the kids!

Can you believe those eyelashes??

Here's the whole family together, many more yet to edit...

This is a behind the scenes picture of what was going on.

Snuggles with the girls...

The cutest little babe with piercing blue eyes. More pics to follow...

Ah, the Good Ol' Days...

One of my dearest gal pals from college came in from Colorado with her family for a family reunion/amusement park extravaganza, (they really did amaze me with the things they packed into 1 week!! I was able to visit and catch up with her and her vivacious bunch in their hotel suite before they were heading out for the day! Of course, I brought my camera along and snapped some pics of the fam.

I LOVE this energetic 10 year old!! He had me laughing very hard, always full of interesting tidbits of information! He is Mr. Personality personified! Mom and Dad are probably nodding their heads in agreement, yes??


This one cracks me up because little "R" wasn't quite sure why mom and dad were sitting so still on the ground and not letting her in this picture!!

I loved our visit and was so happy to meet the girls! I wished we lived closer and have our kids have play dates! Hope Colorado is finally giving you some spring weather!

One Hot Mama!

Have you ever been around one of these type of people...? Tons of energy, extremely talented, gorgeous and thought to yourself, "If I could have just a tenth of this person's energy and zest for life, what could I accomplish?? Yep, that's what I was thinking.

This photo shoot was SO much crazy fun. I was actually sore in certain particular body parts that I didn't know could be sore! We were all over the place and had a blast. Here's some of my faves from the day!

Fun times! Great memories! Thanks for the workout, Asia!

Spectacular 7

My favorite son, well ok, the only son, Little man R turned 7!
My oh my, time sure does fly by. This little guy makes us all smile and giggle with
his silly jokes and fun sense of humor.


I love to see his new grown-up teeth ever-so-slowly making their grand appearance, with their little bumpy ridges, errupting proudly.


He has the most amazing green eyes, consequently a large portion of his
wardrobe is GREEN! And it is my favorite color, for those of you who know me so
well! I guess we all wear alot of green in this family!



There is such an amazing sweetness to little boys! I'm so happy he doesn't mind me still smothering him in kisses!

R wears the "stone washed" jeans in the family. NO, I don't buy them that way. . .

it's all the rocks and pebbles that get left in his pockets daily, even AFTER I think I have checked sufficiently before throwing them in the washer. He is a MIGHTY

rock hunter. I guess I do prefer rocks over the crayons. I have shed many frustrated tears over those load of laundry ruiners!! I LOVE YOU, R

Love, Mommy

A Senior in the Midst

Craig is a senior this year and his guitar that he brought along, made for some cool photos.

How do I summarize this shoot in a nutshell?

Amazing!

Almost Sweet Sixteen

This gorgeous gal was so much fun to hang out with and shoot. She has beautiful aqua-colored eyes and I knew they would look amazing in photos!


Did I also mention her gorgeous hair?

Thanks for such an awesome shoot!
