Beachy Brothers :)

I don’t shoot at the beach too often during the winter – can be windy and cold – but this year the weather and water was unusually warm and so I was happy to head down to the pier to meet up with this family for the first time. Their three little guys were so much fun to hang with and we got lots of great shots!

1. Valentine minis have been announced and are booking up quickly!

2. My car got a free wash today 🙂 and will get another tomorrow it sounds like!

3. Tuesday nights with my little guy – we go eat together before swim and I just love our time alone – not often I get to hang with just him

4. Purging, purging, purging – determined to de-clutter this year and get rid of things we don’t use

5. Shopkins – my nieces and Christian are obsessed with them and they’re actually kind of cute! Wish I had invented them 😛

*Still working on props/set for this year – pics are from past years

Football and pups :)

If you’ve followed my blog awhile you have seen these guys before 🙂 One of my favorite families to shoot and I couldn’t believe how much the kids have grown this year – definitely one of my favorite things about my job is watching my clients grow up over the years. These guys are always so much fun to shoot and this year was no different – they added another pup to their fam which made the shoot a bit more interesting and the guys had to start the session off with a friendly game of tackle football using unripe oranges from the grove 😛

typical siblings huh? 😉

1. Looks like we will finally get some rain this week – my lawn will be happy!

2. Christmas is put away and order is (sort of) restored in our house – always sad when the holidays are over but I am happy my playroom is back to normal

3. Some fun with my boys tonight at John’s Incredible Pizza – I think I had the most fun of all of us 😛

4. Back to shooting this weekend after a couple weeks off with back to back parties!

5. Finally got my new washing machine (was supposed to be my mother’s day gift but I took a long time to pick it out :P) and I love it – you know you’re old when you’re excited about a new washer!

Back in the orange grove :)

This location was my favorite fall session spot by far this year – I was there three different days and had gorgeous light and weather all three days. This was my second time hanging out with the family and they were so much fun. I just love their little gals curls and the siblings got along so well they made my job very easy 🙂

1. Attempting a new 365 project this year using my g15 – determined to learn how to use it better so I can appreciate it and poor Ellie has so few pics from her first year that I need to make up for it this year 🙂

2. Ellie has stood solo for a few seconds at a time several times over the last week – looks like walking won’t be far off!

3. Two weeks off school for my little guy meant lots of fun holiday activities in between work and being sick – sad that he’s back to school tomorrow 🙁

4. Cracked open my new Erin Condren planner today – nothing like a blank year ahead to make the most of!

5. Mexican hot chocolate is back at Coffee Bean!!!

Tiny Beauty :)

Next up in my favorite sessions from this holiday season 🙂 This was my first time meeting this family and their little one was just a doll. I just loved all of her adorable expressions!

1. Lots of people locking in rates for this year – which means I will see many familiar faces in 2016! You have one day left to lock in here.

2. Ellie’s little face when she says “hi!” to anyone who will listen <3 She was entertaining the people in line at Cafe Rio yesterday 🙂 3. Brothers willing to change my bad brakes on their day off 4. Well Dressed Wolf – mamas with girls check it out now!!

5. Lunch with one of my work besties tomorrow!
