There has been a boom in the Bay Area and It’s a a good thing to because I was starting to have withdrawals from that new baby smell. Gianna was just what I needed to get my fix. I don’t know what it is about these San Francisco babies but I have been so lucky because every single one I have worked with has been sleepy and curly two of my very favorite things. Gianna was so good to me, I could have photographed her all day.

One thing the heat is good for is shooting newborn photo’s outside. I can’t do that in the bay so I was pretty excited about that possibility. Early one evening we went on a drive to scout out locations and came across this abandoned house with this awesome barn in the back. . .  it was perfect! We decided to stop and shoot, I was setting everything up when my feet started to burn. . .  I looked down and my feet were covered in fire ants and they were chewing my poor feet to pieces, so now we have heat, humidity, and bugs if it weren’t for that sweet southern hospitality and the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had it might have been almost miserable. Note to self: Memphis in the summer isn’t so rad. Next time I think I will make a winter trip.

Lindsay, I miss you already.

Last time I saw Ren he was just a little guy and now he is nearly walking. I always say it but it’s amazing how fast they grow up and it just goes to show how important pictures are. Ren wasn’t so sure about me at first but we quickly bonded over gerber puffs and by the end we were best friends.

Last weekend I flew to San Diego to photograph little Ashton who is now two months old.  All of this gloomy bay area weather had me itching for some San Diego sun and when I arrived it was cloudy and cold so there are no awesome beach shots to share. All is well though, Ashton is cute as can be with his chubby cheeks and adorable smile. What more can you ask for?

My photographer friend Brianne just had a baby and I was so bummed because I thought I wasn’t going to be able make it to San Diego to photograph her.

I mean it wasn’t like she needed me  because she was in very good hands…  Little Marlowe has been photographed by some awesome photographers since her arrival just 3 weeks ago  luckily,  I was  able to hop on a flight with my husband for an overnight trip and I took the opportunity to crash Briannes place and photograph her little sweetie. Unfortunately, I got in super late and only had 45 Min’s but I was able to get a couple of keepers.

Christmas time is my favorite time of year.. What’s not to like? Eggnog, Hot Chocolate, Presents, Snow, and did I say presents?

I like everything besides that 10 extra pounds I gain eating baked goods. As soon as it starts getting cold I get the urge to bake, I don’t know why because I don’t bake any other time of the year except during the Holiday’s and if one day goes by that my house doesn’t smell like fresh baked cookies it feels weird.  I made sugar cookies today, nuff said.

I never post personal things on my blog, mostly, because I was always so busy but since my move to the Bay area I am enjoying some down time for the first time in four years and it feels good to be able to spend some quality time with my kids and actually take some pictures of the little boogers.

This year I decided that our tree wasn’t eccentric enough and while I was shopping at Target I found the perfect tree topper, Yoda! Tell me that Yoda isn’t rad?!

My daughter, who doesn’t let me take her picture as often as I would like. She thought she looked cute today and decided to give me 5mins so I took 10 and then she pouted but I like it anyway. One of the things I missed most about the bay area was the fog.. oh how I missed you fog. Looks good in pictures too.

Not to exclude our fabulous albums we are now offering an even bigger variety of fun colors!

Before I left San Diego I took on a few last minute sessions with my good friend, Marie, who was dying to shoot on the beach. We went to my favorite spot with some of my favorite clients. I cannot wait to get back to San Diego for more sessions.

I feel like it has been forever since I have blogged!
