This session was done just a few days after this sailor got home from deployment. And in a few short hours, I will be heading out to another actual homecoming at Camp Pendleton. Just in time for the holidays. Awww. It is filling me with […]

Notes Girls Write
Ok, so I have been neglecting this blog, big time…But this is not the typical, listing excuses for why I am a bad blogger, and promising to do better. I have been neglecting this blog for good reason. I have been working on a new […]
There is Always More Than Meets The Eye…
…you just need to know where to look. I decided to put the math books aside and take the kids on a hike for school today. Math and I have never really been on good terms, so it didn’t take much to convince me. It […]
Darby’s One Year Session – Sneak Peek
This little lady is probably starting to look pretty familiar. I got to see her at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and now….she is one year old!! She went from, pretty much just laying there…to sitting up….to crawling for the first time ever, at […]
Brain Dump
As I mentioned, there are a lot of changes going on…and change can bring some chaos with it. In that chaos, things can get lost in the shuffle. I realized, when I took those last images of my daughter, that it had been a long, […]
Ch ch ch changes…

A Second Shooter That Works For Lollipops
So I mentioned in this sneak peek, that I had 4 year old, Ethan, use one of my backup cameras to “second shoot” with me during his family’s session. Well, I wanted to share some of the images he took. The images were not cropped […]
Maternity Photo Session – Temecula
This last week has kind of been a sleepless haze for me. I have been trying to get this sneak peek up for days, but the short, needy people in my house have given up sleep. My daughter isn’t sleeping well because of a certain […]
Playing Catch up – Family Photo Session – Glendora
Ok, I have so much to catch up on here, but the last week has been a little crazy. My daughter fell and broke her ankle…the day after my mom electrocuted herself. Yeah…you read that right. Apparently that stuff really happens. Who knew? My mom […]
How Could I Ever Forget This One?
I put this on facebook and completely forgot to put it here. I am such a blog neglector (apparently, neglector is not a word. Psssh, whatever spell checker. I disagree). Maybe if my blog had farms and Mafias, like facebook, it wouldn’t be so easy […]
