Cousins!!

Last month I had the pleasure of shooting a couple past clients – specifically this little gal and this little guy – and this time their cousins came along so we could capture a pic of the whole family!  Here are a few of my faves of the kids:

 and after about 100 tries we finally got a good one of the whole crowd 🙂

1.  Christian continues to be a better sleeper – sleeping 5-7 hour stretches each night 🙂

2.  Our “family song” was playing when Joe went in to the operating room to have his lasik – it was also playing when I walked in to the operating room to have Christian – meant to be I think <3

3.  Abby’s interaction with Christian – she seems to love him already – I hope they will be good friends when he’s a bit older

4.  Panera lunches with my little family <3

5.  Just about booked until the end of the year – only three more openings!

More beachy fun :)

I met up with these two cuties and their beautiful mama a few weeks ago – check out all the gorgeous peepers!

1.  20/15 vision for my baby!!

2.  My mommy comes home tomorrow – we have missed her this week while she was in Alaska

3.  Staying caught up on my editing while I’m off with baby 🙂

4.  Awesome baby sales at both Old Navy and Carter’s plus coupons!  Christian is set for 9 and 12 month clothes now 🙂 

5.  Started Christian’s library off with a few classics – can’t wait to start reading to my little guy every night – never too soon to start right? 🙂

Beachy fun!!

First off I must say that I love my clients – especially my regulars 🙂  They are all just the nicest people and have been so supportive and understanding while I adjust to my new life with hubby and baby.  I met up with this family for the third time a few weeks ago in Manhattan – they were so well coordinated and their two boys are just the sweetest 🙂  Here’s a few of my faves . . .

1.  My hubby’s successful Lasik surgery today – welcome to the world of lens-less vision baby 🙂

2.  Having this time off to spend with my babies <3

3.  My mommy for letting us spend the week in San Diego with her so we didn’t have to be away from Joe

4.  An awesome new mommy/photog friend 🙂

5.  All Halloween and Holiday minis are booked!

The Graduate!

Can you believe this little guy is already one?!  He’s officially the first graduate of my first year plan and I feel so blessed to have been able to watch him grow over the last year.  I love these two from his one year shoot . . .

1.  Joe comes home tomorrow!

2.  San Diego next week with my boys <3

3.  New social security card came – I’m officially a Saldana 🙂

4.  Just about caught up with shoots that had to be rescheduled due to Christian coming a bit early

5.  Pandora – I’m late to the game but I have just discovered Pandora and I love it 🙂

Finally!!!

I ordered some adorable knit hats soon after I brought Christian home and was dying to get some pics of him wearing them but I wanted him to be sleeping.  Needless to say many many photo shoots were attempted and failed before I finally got him to sleep soundly enough last Saturday so I could move him around for the pics.  Ideally he would have been a slightly smaller newborn in them instead of my little chunk but I still think they came out super cute – maybe it’s the mommy goggles 🙂
