This year, I flew up to San Francisco to do a few mini-sessions.  It was raining really hard the night before and the morning of our shoot day.  I was a bit worried that it would be rainy and windy and our shoot would be called off, but luckily the clouds cleared away and we had perfect weather.

I visited a few locations for the sessions, but the favorites from the Landres/Smith shoot were taken at Chrissy Field and the Palace of Fine Arts.  We had so much fun, that they upgraded to a folded card and picked out 4 photos for their holiday card.

We had so much fun playing in the backyard together and got some really nice family photos.  My client picked her favorite photo and I custom designed a card for them.  Happy Holidays!

Today will be filled with lots of fun designing holiday cards for my mini-session clients.  Stay tuned for the designs!

Yesterday Stella celebrated her 1st birthday.  She was blessed to have a yummy chocolate strawberry cake for her first cake.  She undressed down to her diaper and went from zero to hot chocolate mess in 2.5 seconds.  Okay, maybe it took seven minutes….

This is my absolute favorite image right now….

The drool is everywhere!  CJ is teething and can’t get enough of chewing on everything.  I think everyone can agree the CJ cuteness is undeniable.

Aiden & Kalen dressed up in their Ninja outfits and demonstrated their NINJA MOVES!

Ava has been collecting dress up costumes since she could barely walk!  She has now amassed quite a collection and shares with Wren.  We had a dance off, ate strawberries and giggled for a few hours.  I love my job.  Dress up and giggling!

Asher and River were born 6 weeks apart and are like brothers.  These two had me running all over the place from playing with toys, jumping for cookies, and hiding under the mini-pool.  Check out the fun shots of these two adorable boys!
