Birthday Girls {Sacramento Children's Photographer}

This morning I edited some pictures I recently took of my sweet little cousins...I can't believe they'll be turning 1 & 4 shortly, time really does pass us too quickly!  These girls are dear to my heart and I had fun trying to capture them and the joy they are so filled with.  As pre-school begins for one and walking nears for the other, I hope their mommy and daddy will enjoy these snapshots in time:

Miss A has the biggest, bluest eyes I've ever seen and a sweet personality to go along with them.  It seems like only yesterday that I photographed her newborn photos...

Miss H is 5 months younger than my son and it is so fun watching them grow up together the way her daddy and I enjoyed growing up as close cousins.

Happy Birthday Girls!

Summer Sweetness {Sacramento Child and Family Photographer}

I had the opportunity to photograph a lovely family one recent summer evening and just had to share some of the sweetness and playfulness we captured.

I love this one - what an adorable 1 year old and future heartbreaker!

Oh I do love these shoes!

Nothing sweeter than a daddy and his kids...

...and an extra hot mama!

I Heart Faces - Purple

I am participating in my first "I Heart Faces" weekly photo contest today.  

The theme?  Purple.  Here is one from a recent maternity session, which I haven't posted yet so keep checking back for many updates sessions!

29/52 - Project 52 {Family Times}

The kids stayed with Grandma & Grandpa.  Hubby and I enjoyed 5 days of quiet, restful bliss to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.  We came home and enjoyed seeing all the fun they had and spending time with Auntie Michelle and baby cousin Skye.

Family is such an important part of our lives.  I'm so thankful my children were able to create more sweet memories with their Auntie and cousin.

Dinner with friends?  A bucket of fried chicken and a park means nobody has to clean their house.  Pure genius.

27/52 - Project 52 {Birthday Fun}

Clickin' Moms is having their 2nd Annual Scavenger Hunt and I have really been enjoying participating and "hunting" for as many items on the list as I can.  This is my first year and although I started a few days late into the game, I'm having a blast finding items from the list and photographing them with the "Clickin' Moms 2010" sign!  I was even able to use my own birthday candles to count as "fire".  One more crossed off the list.

Remember this post?  Well the fruits of my husband's labors are becoming abundant (and delicious):
