One of my BFF’s, Gail, wanted a photo shoot similar to the one I did with her kiddos (which can be seen here), when her husband came home from the middle east for a short 3 weeks. I was happy to do this “just because” session, because it is not often that I get to take pics of two already-married-adults…all by themselves! They were so much fun to work with and we had lots of outtakes…thanks to her hubby!
And here’s one from the kiddo’s session…
Another matching one from the kiddos session (I see side by side 20×30 canvases!!)….
Last, but not least…thank you Dane for making me laugh!!!
Love you guys!!

An enchanting theme, gorgeous surroundings, princess dress up, and all of your friends – what else could a five year old ask for on their birthday! Presley turned 5 and celebrated in style with her lovely “tangled” lock of hair and dress fit for a princess. The guests were treated by a visit from 4 well known fairy tale characters who entertained the kids from beginning to end with story time, dancing, singing and cookie making. It was so much fun to capture this party for Presley and her parents. Thank you once again for allowing me to document your family’s most important events!

Meet the F. Family…mom, dad + 7 kids + one more one the way!!! Photographing large families can be a challenge, but this amazing family was terrific! What a great group of kids, all with very different and distinct personalities. We started out at Oceanside Pier & then made our way over to the harbor for some ice cream. What a fun day, I had a great time! Thanks F. Family!
