Ponies and fairy wands :)

If you follow my blog you probably recognize these two little beauties. I cannot express enough how much I love this family and how important they have been to the success of my little business. They have encouraged me since the beginning, were my very first paying clients, plastered my work all over their walls before it was good, have sent so many people my way I have lost count, pay me more than I charge them and on top of all that are wonderful friends. I feel so blessed to have them in my life and that they continue to trust me with their memories <3 Now on to the adorable girls :)

1. A huge response to my plum deal – looking forward to meeting everyone!
2. Christian LOVES his Mr. Potato Heads – they go everywhere with us and he takes them apart and puts them back together while naming all the parts over and over – so cute!
3. Decided on a Halloween costume for the little guy πŸ™‚
4. Toy Story 2 and 3 – had never seen them before and they are super cute! Although I may get tired of them soon since we watch them every day πŸ˜›
5. Frozen reduced fat Mac N Cheese from Trader Joes – super yummy! Although I’m pretty sure it’s reduced fat because there’s only like 5 bites in the box πŸ˜›

Lots of pretty peepers!

Check out all of the gorgeous blue eyes on this family! Got to meet up with them for a quick shoot a few weeks ago before they headed off to move out of state πŸ™ Hope they are getting settled in their new home!

1. Attended a wonderful surprise party for my great uncle today – he turned 80 and looks great!
2. Christian did great during said party – he has been having a little trouble sitting down in restaurants – he would prefer to run around and do his own thing πŸ˜›
3. Dexter starts back up tonight – my favorite πŸ™‚
4. Little guy seems to be on the mend – hopefully for good πŸ™‚
5. Shot an awesome 1st birthday party for one of my clients and came home with a tip, food and a goody bag for Christian – I have such wonderful clients <3

Some more sandy cuties!

I was going through and purging files last night to make some room on my harddrive (they are backed up on two externals so don’t worry!) and realized I never posted these little cuties so I had to get them up here!

1. We are officially a green household after finally finding a safe, organic shampoo and conditioner I love. Took hours of research but I feel much better about the products I am using on my family <3 2. Hubby finally got to redeem his birthday present Sunday when he spent the day taking the VIP tour at Universal Studios :) 3. Health insurance - we have used it quite about around here lately since we have all been sickies :( 4. My two favorite shows are coming back this week! 5. Christian begging everyone for coins to put in his new bank Uncle Josh brought him from Mexico - he is learning early :P

9 months!!

This adorable little peanut is one of my baby planners so I have the pleasure of seeing him every month – it has been so fun watching him grow the last 9 months! Β He is the cousin of one of my very first baby planners and the whole family is so wonderful – I am truly blessed with the best clients ever. Β It’s been quite a few months since his newborn shoot and he has changed so much! Β This month’s milestone – two new teeth! Β If you look closely you can see them in the last pic πŸ™‚

1. Facebook – while it’s a huge time sucker it’s also an amazing place for networking – I have met so many great clients through there and have gotten suggestions for doctors, schools, baby equip you name it.
2. Made a huge decision today – hope it turns out the way I’d like πŸ™‚
3. My mommy comes home tomorrow after being away over a week – Christian can’t wait to see Grandma!
4. Celebrating my mommy this weekend for her birthday <3
5. Second shooting a wedding with the fabulous Vintage Poppy this weekend πŸ™‚

Boys, boys, boys!!

Somehow it ended up that the last five or six shoots I have edited have been brothers including these three adorable little guys and their parents!

1. A couple new movie obsessions for Christian – Nemo and Monsters Inc. – a welcome change from watching Cars every night
2. Seventh Generation dishwasher pods – they do a great job cleaning my dishes and are super safe and non-toxic!
3. Big changes brewing on the horizon – hoping they all fall into place!
4. Watching Joe refresh his computer screen a zillion times until the iphone 5 pre-order came up last night πŸ˜›
5. Sharpie pens – my favorite πŸ™‚
