mini boden

A common question I always get from mom's is, "what should my kids wear?" Personally, I like funky bright colors, cute trendy hats, stylish shoes, sunglasses and accessories of any kind. When my friend Lynly told me about mini Boden, I instantly was in love. THIS IS CUTE! THIS IS WHAT I LIKE!!!!!!!!! THESE ARE THE KINDS OF CLOTHES THAT MAKE FOR A GREAT PICTURE. I requested a catalog (exclusively mail order) and it came in today! AHHHH...I need some will-power to have some self control. It's dangerous being on maternity leave!!! Check out their site: www.bodendirect.com and tell me what you think! :) They are offering 15% off and free shipping!!!

Need a trust or will?!!! I took my friend and poof partna's business pics today---isn't it faboo???!!! SHE CAN HELP YOU! Contact me if you want her information.

Asti & Jr. - I do!

I made it. All I needed to do was make it through the 23rd of May and not give birth. whew...close call! This was my last wedding before I pop and now I'm all clear to have this baby! Asti and Jr. got married at Paradise Cove. It was suppose to rain but was a beautiful day...they were the easiest and most relaxed couple and didn't stress out one bit on their big day! Their reception was later that day and yes, that is Kapena performing live - what a treat! Here are some favorites from the day!

nuff said...i'll let the pictures speak for itself! :) I've been photographing this girl since the day she was born and even though she lives 5,000 miles away, I still see her at least once a year! She was my model for some new backgrounds I have...cute huh?! Her brother is VERY mobile...stay tuned for the one decent picture I got of him...out of about 100 shots! HOLY SMOKES!

If you have a baby this cute, you should:

1) Squeeze his/her cheeks all day long!

2) Enter him/her in a contest

3) Go around and tell other moms, "my kid is cuter than yours!"

4) Allow me to photograph them! :)





Meet Brooke. She was a breeze to photograph and even has natural highlights! LUCKY! I photographed her sister every month for the first year of her life. Now she's way too smart to take any photos with me! Anyways, I'm almost 8 months pregnant and have filled all appointments until July---I am BIG and uncomfortable (did I say BIG??!) Call me if you are interested in scheduling something then---I will be shooting until mid-October when I will return back to my regular job. So hey, if you want Christmas pictures, it will be Christmas in July (or August, September or early October!) I also have a new pricelist (Like I said before, preschool is expensive!) so email me if you are interested. :) take care y'all!

lil' b

whew---what a weekend! :) being pregnant and this humidity just isn't fun...thank goodness for AC! This girl is a cutie patootie & after she warmed up, worked the camera! See, snacks will do wonders for a smile. This is for my friend who is helping us get our Poof site back in business! enjoy!

ethan - EVERYDAY

what a busy weekend. Ethan is bound to be in commercials or print ads soon...hopefully these headshots will get him famous! :)

Alexis - senior pictures

Let me start off by saying, i feel old. When I lived in LA (gosh, 10 years ago!!!), my roommates cousin and his family also lived in Northridge. We used to hang with their 2 daughters, who were so young at the time. I even remember going to their youngest daughter's preschool graduation!!!!!! Anyways, fast forward to 2009. Their oldest is a senior and will be graduating soon. SHE DRIVES. SHE WORKS. SHE WEARS MAKEUP! She called me to take her senior pictures and we had so much fun! Congrats Alexis...college will be a blast.
