Thanks for stopping by!

I love to celebrate beautiful things! My interests include anything crafty, colorful and fun! I love to travel, cook, craft, design, create, entertain, decorate, sew..and the list goes on. Stunning images inspire me and I hope I can share a few things here that will inspire you too!

I have always loved photographs. My grandma has always taken a million pictures and it inspired me from a young age. With my first 110 camera I captured fun memories of family vacations and everyday activities. Since having kids my focus has turned to the art of the portrait. In my eyes the "perfect" portrait doesn't mean a creaseless shirt and stiff poses, but instead a twinkle in the eye and a glimpse into the soul.

My specialty is children. I love to capture them in their natural element. I want to capture who your child is at this moment. The little noses, funny smiles and dirt covered faces that make them the person that they are right now.

My approach is VERY relaxed...very "photo journalistic." I'm not a girl that likes to pose. My idea of a perfect shoot is to meet you somewhere fun and let your kids play and be themselves while I fade into the background. I believe it's those moments that you truly want to remember. Anyone can take a picture. I want to capture a moment and tell a story.

I'd LOVE to come play with your little ones. Think of a place where they are happiest. Disneyland? Chuck E Cheese? Krispy Kreme? Think outside the box. Let's get together and let them explore, get dirty and have some fun! Those WILL be your cherished memories!

Everyday Life: Singing in the Rain

Wednesday, December 9, 2009 Posted in Everyday Life, Kids, Uncategorized

We had the BEST storm on Monday! Here in So Cal we don’t see a whole lot of rain, so when we get a storm that is as big and cold as this one was we get excited!! Ash was extra excited. This little girl has been BEGGING to wear her rain boots. She has owned this umbrella for almost a year and I honestly don’t recall her ever being able to use it when it’s actually been raining. It’s really sad to see her get all excited when the fog is thick. She thinks it’s time to break out the umbrella because it gets a little misty…poor girl! Well, no more! She finally got a chance to use it in REAL rain! Maybe not the smartest thing to let her run around in it since we’ve been fighting sickness…but I couldn’t help it! I dressed her warmly! Enjoy the pictures…I’m off to the doctor in hopes that they can actually do something for me after six weeks of fighting this nasty cold! I’d just REALLY like to be healthy for Christmas…that’s what’s on my list!
