HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2010!

Here's wishing you a SPOOKtacular Halloween, from my very own "Good" Witch, Asian Princess and handsome Little Lion!

THE LITTLE HEARTBREAKER...BABY "L" | Fife, WA

2010 has been a special year for my family - we were not only blessed with the birth of my son, but my nephew Lawrence as well, who is 7 weeks older than Israel, and who is as special and precious to me as my own babies :).

Earlier this year, I took photos of his mama Rose, who was anxiously awaiting Baby L's arrival. We took photos in Fife, and just a little more than 6 months later, we were taking photos again in the same spot to celebrate L's recent 6-month birthday. Babies definitely seem to make time go by quicker than we'd like sometimes, and I can hardly believe our little L is already half way to his first birthday. We love this little Handsome to no end - my daughters proudly call him their baby brother (and there is no telling Taimane otherwise!), and we relish all the time we get to spend with him!


Looking at his mama, all smiles!


He was so fascinated by the sky...

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby... -- Vincent van Gogh

Happy 1st Easter Baby L!

Not long ago, I took some maternity pictures of my best friend. Just a couple of months later, her handsome baby boy is here and precious as ever, celebrating his very first Easter! Love you so much, Baby L!

Precious Moments : BABY ZANDER | Puyallup, WA

Baby Zander Jay is now a month old! Just a few short months ago, his mom and dad were anticipating his arrival, and now their healthy baby boy is here :). We took some of his newborn pictures on a Sunday afternoon at home, mostly while he napped. My best friend Rose and my girls came along for the shoot, and Eden and Taimane couldn't wait to hold him and give him lots of love. He's the most precious little boy, and definitely his mama's heart!

Zander's dogs, Abby and Caesar, also got in on the photo session, and we managed a couple of good shots of them too :).

Welcome to the world, Baby Zander! xoxo













And meet Abby and Caesar... :)

Sneak Peek!

More of this precious baby boy soon!

Unconditional : MAYLENE & BABY ZENIAH | Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Being a mommy of two little girls, I can quickly relate to a mommy-daughter bond :), and it was so sweet to see between these two. Maylene is a brand new mommy to precious baby Zeniah, who is as beautiful as her mama, and it was such a treat to photograph them. Zeniah is almost two months old in these photos, and was so cooperative in front of the camera, even on a warm (OK, *really* hot for the Seattle-weathered photographer), California afternoon.

It was so good to meet you girls ;)! Lots of LOVE!!

Precious Moments : TYSON | Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

I have a ton of posts to catch up on! Our LA/Vegas trip was great, and we're a little sad to be back in the swing of things at home. We had a blast, and were able to see family and friends that we haven't seen in ages. The kids were awesome travelers, so that made me one happy mom!

My first session was with little Tyson, who is 4-1/2 years of fun! He was an excellent sport with just a tiny bit of coaxing (his biggest smiles were given at the mention of possible "toys" after the shoot ;)). He was a ham once he got comfortable, and I had a great time running around after him, and I didn't stop laughing the entire time. He is beyond cute, and a self-proclaimed mama's boy - it was the sweetest thing hearing him tell his mom how much he loved her! Definitely a heartbreaker in the making!

xoxo Tyson!

Precious Moments : EDEN & TAIMANE

Have a few shoots to catch up on, but had these pictures of the girls ready to post. Time is flying too fast! We were just going through baby pictures the other day and couldn't get over how quickly they've grown - here they are, total toddlers and on the brink of school.

So close in age, our girls are either the best of friends or the worst of enemies, so there's never a dull moment in our house! From the time they were each just a few months old, they've LOVED the camera. That obviously hasn't changed at all! LOL!
