Tonight I'm heading to John and Gina's rehearsal and I'm really looking forward to this weekend. I love them ... they are so fun ... truly, whenever I'm with them I'm laughing the whole time, it's awesome! I met up with John and Gina Wednesday to grab a cup of joe and go over some details of the wedding and again, I was smiling and laughing the whole time. I'm totally envious as they are leaving to Kauai for 10 ...yes TEN days ... I told them they should totally take me ... i mean, really, who will take their photos of them together!! They didn't bite ... well almost ... and then they snapped to! Darn it! They are going to have the best time ! One of the best experiences of my life was being about a foot away from hundreds of dolphins in the middle of the ocean with my husband in Kauai ... oh I'm so envious that I can't go with them! Anyway, I'll post some images of the weekend by Sunday :-)

Bob and Esther

What a beautiful day! Sunday was an awesome day ... I got to spend time photographing my good friends Esther and Bob's wedding and it was perfect! It was truly an honor to get to hang out with them throughout the day and capture their smiles and tears. The evening was filled with dancing, laughter and love with lots of family and friends. It was so wonderful because so many of my friends were also there. Esther is moving to New England as we speak ... in fact at this hour they are probably pulling over to grab a bit to eat ... uhhhh, well they are newly weds ... maybe they are calling it a day ... anyway ... I wanted share their wedding with you ... below is a slideshow ... Enjoy!

Beautiful Day!! YES!

Today is a beautiful day! Its Sunday and I shooting Esther and Bob's wedding today ... I'm super crazy excited because it is way way nice outside today! I have to say that when they booked their wedding and said that it was today I thought ... oh please don't let it it rain!

It's also a beautiful day today because my honey made breakfast, oh so yummy, my kids are playing happily in the living room, my honey is watching the game and I get a quick moment to blog and enjoy a cup of warm coffee ...my second cup of the day! And later this afternoon I get to photograph one of my friends weddings! It is truly a beautiful day!

Can't wait to post some images tonight. We are going to shoot some of the bride and groom shots outside ... after dark ... how cool is that?!!!

Cake Decorating at the Sylvia House

So today I wasn't really feeling that great ... so I thought I needed to take it easy. I baked a cake last night for the kids to decorate today ... so I got everything out and let them frost and decorate any way they wanted ... here is the how it went down ... I haven't laughed so hard in a while ...

Here they are just dying to get the goodies to start the tornado of decorating ...

The weapon of choice ... oh my it is so good!!


Some people like their spinkles on the cake and then there are those who throw caution to the wind and just go for it (a little one after my own heart!)...


The masterpieces ... Isabel told me that the pink chocolates on her cake represent rose buds ... wow ... she is not kidding when she says that she wants to grow up and be an artist ...

And Mason ... who knows what the yellow dots are ... he just wanted to dive into the goodies!!!

So much fun ... I had to share! I should have taken a picture of the sprinkled floor and the chocolate all over the table and then the bathroom door with chocolate fingerprints ... but we were too busy enjoying the cake!!!!

Can a year go by so fast that you don't even believe that the time has flown by???? Crazy! I photographed Miss. Jaydens mommy when she was expecting Jayden and I can't believe how the time has passed. I love visiting them and capturing their moments ... I love them and I love their doggie Scully!

Oh my goodness ... Miss. Ali is so so so cute! She was cracking me up during our session!

Dirt is tasty mom .. really! I love this picture of Ana ... she just grabbed a bunch of dirt and it was priceless .. isn't she a cuttie!! Her mom and dad are great too!



I love this one!!!

Recently I had the absolute pleasure of spending a very special day with the Lucas family. It was a lovely event with family and friends from gathering together to share their love. I feel so blessed to be part of their lives and capturing so many wonderful moments that they share. I remember meeting them for the very first time in anticipation of Audra's arrival and now to watch her grow ... it just Awesome!

Dinner out with the Fam

This evening I was totally craving going out to dinner ... we usually eat at home ... but for some reason tonight ... we all, all four of us, wanted to go out ... so we headed to Tower Cafe, a family favorite. It was so yummy. Isabel and Mason shared a grilled cheese, Tony had a morrocan chicken sandwitch and I have some green thai chicken ... oh my it was good! Since getting the iphone a month ago, I've been snapping family pics like crazy and Mason is my best subject! He's not a fan of my "normal" camera ... but the iphone he is all grins ... here are a few from dinner tonight.

These sweeties were so fun to photograph! I love the two locks next to them!
