I am so behind on blogging.. I photographed this family about 2-3 weeks ago! I was having issues with posting, but I think I got it figured out.

I had the pleasure to photograph Catalina’s family again this year. I love seeing my past clients and how big the kids have grown! When i first photographed them little “I” was a newborn! She just turned 1 and look at how beautiful she is! She’s going to be a tough one… she has no choice! With two big brothers watching her every move she’s going to have to hold her own.

**** Catalina : I had a great time with your family and I look forward to working with you again! On a side note: Catalina is co-owner of The Children’s Orchard in Woodland Hills. I highly recommend the store to everyone! They have the cutest clothing!! Go check it out… you won’t be dissapointed =D

I have neglected this blog for sooooooooooo long! yikes! I am really busy this time of year, so I become a bad blogger.

I have neglected this blog for quite some time! I promise to get better.

This weekend I traveled to Santa Monica and met a Wonderful family. I knew it was going to be a fun shoot when I heard Disney Princess music throughout the house =) and when I met the 2 little girls.. I melted. They were funny, sweet, well mannered, and great ballerinas! I love seeing sisters as best of friends =D

A few weeks ago I captured lil’ Mason’s 1st birthday! I had never been to a korean birthday party, or eaten korean food and let me tell you.. the party was a lot of fun! The food? Delicious!!! As dessert? Ben n Jerry’s … YUM!

I met a lot of great people. Cindy, Thank you for allowing me to capture your little one’s special day. Your family is amazing and so down to earth. I had a great time!

guests had to guess which item Mason was going to go for:

doesn’t he look adorable with his attire?

the moment of truth -

the proud daddy
