Bobby and Lindsey: Expecting!

I grew up in Orange and was blessed to be a part of a family with 7 kids. We all went to Holy Family Cathedral and were a part of an amazing community. We met life-long friends. Bobby is one of them. He is one of my brother's best friends, and married the beautiful Lindsey:) They are expecting a baby boy in just a few short weeks and are SO excited. There is no greater joy than marrying the love of your life, and then God blessing you with a little miracle! Bobby and Lindsey, I am truly so happy for you. You are going to make amazing parents!

The Saenz Family: Expecting... again:)

Jason and Jen had Logan under 2 years ago, and are now expecting another baby boy in just a couple of weeks! We had so much fun trying to get some images to capture this time.

Maddie Mae... come play already!!!

I worked for Islands for a very long time, and met some of my VERY closest friends there. Jessica is one of them. I feel blessed by her friendship over all of these years, and now we get to go through motherhood together as well... which makes it that much more fun:) 

I have been telling Jessie forever that she needs to take pregnancy pics, otherwise she will regret it. Then weeks passed. Then more weeks passed. I get a call last week from Jessie in a panic, saying she really wants preggo pics. FYI... Maddie is due TOMORROW!!! So of course we figured out a time to go take these and here they are. So, Maddie Mae... you can come play now:) Your mommy has her hair done, toes painted, and now has some proof she was preggo with you! Come out already!!!

Jessica and Brandon are an awesome couple and are going to make the BEST parents! Maddie, you are one. very. lucky. baby.

The Ryan Family

I'm back! September has been such a busy month with traveling, that I haven't blogged at all! I went to Hawaii and had a wonderful time with my hubby, then was home for less than a week to do a bunch of shoots, then off again to Omaha to visit my best friend before our little girl comes and traveling gets a little harder:) So... needless to say, I have LOTS of shoots to post and catch up on!

The Ryan family just celebrated Rachael's 3rd Birthday, and wanted to capture some special photos of her, and some family ones as they are expecting their 2nd baby! Rachael is going to be such a good big sister! We had an amazing day. They do their shoot every September because Jenny's mom is in town visiting, so there are a couple of her in here as well:) Rach just loves her grandma! There were so many good images I could barely pick which ones to blog, but here you go:)

Lisa: Expecting! ... Part II

Sooooo...... I posted part of Lisa's pregnancy pics a little while back, and thought it necessary to finish the post with the most important part! The most important part was not the beautiful images of just her, but of her current family (Timmy is not in these, but all of her little boys are:). Whammy (her baby due any day!)... has some very big shoes to fill! These 4 animals are Lisa's life... to say the least! Rudy, Iggy, Shmoey, and Jonsey are her babies and I know Lisa can't imagine loving anyone else this much. However, she will see once Whammy comes out that it is possible. Here are a few of my favs:)

Below is Rudy... Lisa's FAVORITE!!! I guess you are allowed to play favorites with pets:)

This was quite an interesting shoot. Meet Jonsey below. Poor Jonsey was pretty much attacked by the other 3 boys because he got loose and they were not going to have it! This is the only shot we got of him because he was SO scared!

Lisa: Expecting!

I could not be more excited for Lisa and Timmy! They are due any day now with a beautiful baby boy? Girl? We will see! I feel blessed to be able to see Lisa go through this and to be able to go through it with her:) Lisa, you and Timmy are going to be AMAZING parents! Whammy is such a lucky baby:) We took a hike in Brea to get these shots. Yes, that's right, Lisa who is due any day decided a hike would be fun. I cannot believe the energy you still have girl! You are like no one else I know. Here are a few of my favs from our day...

Lucia and Perry: Expecting!

Lucia and Perry were referred to me by Joe and Betty, who I LOVE, so was so excited to meet this couple! They were so sweet and willing to let go and have fun with me. They are expecting a baby girl very soon, and I am excited to meet baby Carmel:) Here are some of my favorite images from our session. Enjoy!
