Three little darlings

I have been a bad blogger.  But it’s wedding season people.  I haven’t had a break!  But the next couple weeks I will have a little less workload on my plate and will be catching up.  Once school starts in a couple weeks I will be a much better blogger, I also won’t be obsessing over which preschool to put Gavin in.  I have visited about 15 schools in the last two weeks and today we finally found a winner.  I will have to start working a lot more though to pay for it.  ;)  So if you’re thinking about having a session with me, now’s a great time!!

I promised mom a sneak peek from this session last week and I am so sorry it’s taken so long.  Seriously though I think that my biggest problem, and I guess it’s really not a problem, but it is having too many good pictures to choose from to post on the blog.  I spend close to an hour just trying to choose my favorites and then I realize that they’re all my favorites.  I also always want mom to be surprised when the gallery goes up so I don’t like giving too much away on the blog.

To all my blog readers out there. . . .

I’m SO sorry I’ve been missing in action lately but I have been working WAY too hard.  I’m still working on the new website which hopefully will be coming in April.  We’re getting close, I promise.  I’ve also been working on some special shoots.  And Cindy if you’re reading this you’ll be happy to see that I finally got these shots without being chased away by police.  Loooong story for those who don’t know what I’m talking about, but involves the beautiful mustard flower field and a mean man who chased away a couple of mom’s with babies and cameras, like we were really going to start some trouble.  Anyway, I found another field that wasn’t surrounded by “No Trespassing” signs.

I feel like I’ve really neglected the blog lately so I’m going to try to start posting more often, even if it’s just random stuff.  So here are a couple of sneak peek shots from our fun little shoot the other day.  This first one is one of my new favorite pictures!

Make a wish

If you wish hard enough for something sometimes your wish comes true. I have been dreaming about a field like this for years, it has been my dream as a photographer to shoot in a field of long yellow flowers. Well, my search is over and finally my wish for a perfect flower field has come true. You’ll be seeing more pictures from this location soon. This particular shot was taken at the wedding I shot on Friday of a few of the beautiful Flower Girls.

Madison starts school

Today’s session was so much fun for me!  Madison is the most adorable little girl, and she has such a sweet personality.  Usually I have to give kids so much direction on how to pose but Madison was seriously leading this shoot.  As much as I would like to take credit for the pictures coming out so adorable today, I can’t.  You know those kids that you can just tell should be famous, this is one of them.  She reminded me so much of a child star.  Anyway, Madison starts kindergarten in two weeks and her mom wanted a fun back to school session.  I totally loved her little school girl outfit!

Racine and Blake

These kids are seriously two of the cutest kids I’ve ever had the pleasure to photograph. Racine wants to become a photographer also so she was so excited for our session. I really think that she should become a model instead because she is just so adorable and took direction wonderfully. Blake on the other hand didn’t take direction very well, but it just took a little patience and I think we got some great pictures of him. After giving him a little space he became such a little ham and gave me plenty of cute little smiles.

Here are a few of my favorites. Holly, I think you will be very happy when you see the rest. Enjoy your sneak peek!

“Cheese”

This was the word of the day.  Or so these boys thought it was.  I never tell kids to say cheese, in fact I tell them not to say cheese, but sometimes kids can be so used to saying “CHEESE” with big goofy grins.  It was kind of funny though that they would just stare into the camera not really smiling saying “cheeeeeeese.”  Anyway, these two little guys were so cute and so fun to hang out with today, and we got some really fun shots.

Enjoy the sneak peek Mistie and have a wonderful Mother’s Day with your sweet little boys!

Sean and Jade

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing these two darling kids.  I know their parents because they are the owners of a local boutique.  If you are local check out O2B Me Kids in Rancho Cucamonga, I hear they are having a huge sale right now, and let me tell you they have the cutest baby and kids clothes ever.  Their kids are such sweet hearts and I am so glad to have finally met them.  The hard thing about photographing brothers and sisters together is that sometimes they don’t really like to get close to each other and hug each other.  But I didn’t have that problem this time, these two were so loving to each other and have such a good relationship.  It made me really excited to have my baby because I just hope that my boys will have that great of a relationship.

Thanks again Pam and Ken, and I look forward to seeing you all soon.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

Little Miss Kailah

This is one of my favorite little girls to photograph.  Today was our second session and while she did complain a little bit about possible bug sightings and sticks on the ground, she toughed it out to get the cutest shots ever.  My new website will be launching very soon and you will see Kailah’s pictures all over it.  But for now here is a little sneak peek.  It was hard to choose which ones to post here, but I couldn’t post them all or there would be no surprises when the new website is live.

The story behind this photo is actually kinda funny.  We had to be very sneaky because right behind this window was the Dean of the college that we snuck into to take these pictures.  It’s a good thing she was working on the computer with her back to the window.  Kailah was so good and we got the shot quickly and got outta there.

Cute, cute, cutie!

That’s all I have to say about this little girl. I have so many pictures I love of her but not enough time to go through everything. So here are just a couple of my favorite close ups. I feel so bad for not posting this sooner since our photo shoot was one week ago. I just finally got my computer reconnected. My floors are done and they look beautiful! But now I realize that there are so many more things we need to do to the house. Anyway, enough chat, here are a couple pics of miss Kayla.
