It was so amazing to take my girl out to the park today. There was sun shining and we weren’t frozen solid when we got back in the car. Oh, how I long for summer days.

What could be a better way to start off the new year then to see a baby being born? Ava joined the world at 1 a.m. Monday morning at 7 lbs 6 oz and 20 1/2 inches. Mom, Dad, midwife Christine Thain (so cool), doula Annie McLaulin (amazing) and midwifery students Deborah and Ashleigh were all in the room while Uncle and Grandparents were in another room anxiously awaiting to welcome sweet Ava. What a beautiful and intense experience this was - thank you Judy and David for inviting me to be present!
Even on a nippy day, there is a ton of fun to have at the park. I met Angie & Jesse’s sweet family at Kubota gardens - it was my first time there and we hiked throughout the garden for almost two hours and I don’t think we even saw the whole thing. The kiddos Rowan and Zavyen were so excited to show me the pond, waterfall, bridges and the pile of pine cones they hid on their last visit to the park. Rowan is so talkative and Zavyen is an excellent climber and jumper. I had a great time with this wonderful family and really hope to see them again!
I just wanted to share a few of the faces of my trip back ‘home’ a couple weeks ago. San Diego was hot, except for the one day that we ventured to the beach! Even through the fog, my Lily had a wonderful time walking with Grandpa and throwing rocks into the surf.
My childhood friend Joy (Lily’s middle namesake) brought her two girls up to visit with my Grandma - such sweet girls and my G’ma loved every minute of it…
My ‘bff’ Janelle’s daughter is almost one year old - Marly has the most amazing eyes…
and I also got to meet a long time Flickr friend for the first time - Kristen and her Lilly met Janelle, Marly, Lily and I at The Wild Animal Park - we had a great time together and got to feed the lorikeets…
Lily got to pet a deer (she is still telling everyone about that one)! It was a fast, but very fun week in San Diego - I hope to go back again soon.
Saturday, I headed down South to meet 5 month old Maggie & her parents for some photos in their home. This little miss is the cutest with her natural ‘fauhawk’! She was such a trouper with all of my ideas & outfit changes. This family is beautiful & I am so happy to have met them. Here are a few of my favorites from the day…
Last Sunday, I headed down to Olympia to meet with 5 month old Liam and his super cool parents. We played with bubbles and blocks and wrapped him up in some holiday lights and ornaments. What a sweet drool face this little one is - thanks for a great afternoon you guys!
My 2nd family session last Saturday started at Chateau Ste. Michelle - the Fall leaves spread over their grounds are just gorgeous! Sarah and her brother John were SO ready to make a pile of those leaves to jump in, which we did for sure, but first mom (Kelly) and dad (Anthony) gathered together with the kids for some family portraits. It wasn’t long though before we were on the ground giggling and having fun finding lady bugs in the grass. We then headed across the street to The Willows Lodge where the family dressed in their holiday flair for more portraits and a walk on the equally beautiful lodge grounds. I had a lot of fun with Sarah twirling her ‘princess dress’ and with John while he chased the Canadian geese. Here are a few of my favorites…
I woke up Saturday morning to the pouring rain and thought that both of my family portrait sessions scheduled for the day were doomed. Luckily, mother nature pulled a fast one and gave us a really beautiful day for photos after all!
I started the morning down at Coulon Park with the Ursinos. This is our second year together for portraits and the girls are getting to be such ladies! They were so much fun to play with and although the grass was muddy we still jumped and ran and giggled. I really enjoy this family - here are a couple of my faves from their session…
Sunday, I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Jenna, Dare and their new son Nathan. Born only two days prior, this little guy was full of squeals and squirms. I love baby toes so much, but I was really enamored by his gorgeous little lips. Thanks to Dare and Jenna for inviting me into your home - I hope to see you guys again soon!
Before heading out for my big MN trip last week, I had the pleasure of meeting seven week old London for some photo fun. Her mom had some sweet ideas for props and dad was totally willing to take his shirt off (I love skin on skin shots for newborns!) London wasn’t up for much sleep time, but we swaddled her up and mom could always get her calm. Here are just a couple of the shots that I love. Hey London, tell your mommy that the rest will be online soon!
