Pear Blossom

So I celebrated my 31st birthday this weekend.   I had about an entire week of celebrating, it was crazy and so much fun!  My family spoils me and I love it  We went to Big Bear on Wednesday and came home just in time to hit up the dodger game on Saturday with 20 of our closest friends and family.  It was an exciting night with the dodgers winning.  The weekend followed with the beach, tons of amazing food and some super sweet gifts.  Like I said … I’m spoiled! 

I’ve gotten behind on blogging!  I have an amazing maternity session to share.  Stacy and Bryan were super stars from start to finish, totally down for anything and happy the entire time.  I love super easy going couples.   I think their pictures capture the love they share, the gorgeousness that is Stacy and the laid back side of them.  

My poor little blog has gone unattended too for a while so I decided to jump on and share a sneak peek of a recent maternity shoot I did.  I’ve been shooting lots of maternity lately, there must be something in the water!  Maternity is something I love shooting, each shoots offers up a chance to do things a little differently and have fun with it.  Robbin was a super star and worked her bathing suit like no one else! 

Gosh the next time I see this little beauty she will not be so itty bitty anymore.  Peachy has been away on a trip and at this age they grow so quickly!    I can’t wait until she returns, I miss working with her and getting to see her mommy over tea.  

Since I’m on a role I didn’t want to disappoint and NOT have a blog post … I mean, I am doing really well!  

I took time before shipping off my clients gallery album to snap some pictures!  Gallery albums are really popular, and for good reason.  Gallery albums come in a 5×5 or 8×8 album, these albums have the best cover choices … something to suit everyone!  Inside are full bleed or bordered prints from your session.  It’s an awesome idea for those that love every single image and want them all.  I have several albums myself and love them!! 

When I asked Madison if she wanted to model some bathing suits she was over the moon excited!  Madison had about 10 bathing suits last summer, it started off with just two and at the end of summer I realized we had bought her 8 more throughout the three months of summer break.   She loves bathing suits, she wants every single one she sees and it’s so hard to say no.  Well it’s not hard for Joe, it’s just hard for me.  I’m a sucker for her adorable little pleas and I usually cave.  I just love making her happy.  I’m sure most moms can relate to that (even as bad as it is).  

Who doesn’t love a beautiful ballerina?  Little girls racing around in short tutu dresses is so cute, they look so graceful and beautiful.  These girls were no exception, each one of them worked their own little magic to each piece.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend!  We had a full day of baseball today, so I’m looking forward to relaxing tomorrow over brunch and mimosas.  Joe is trying to talk me into going to see Star Trek (yeah right!) I think he’s forgotten who’s day it is.  Although a nice cool movie theater doesn’t sound terrible I guess.   

I recently had a super fun session with a little girl I photograph every year.  She’s so sweet, full of fun and spunky personality and she’s got the most gorgeous eyes.  Her mom is a super sweety!!!!!  Love them both! 

Cheers to all the wonderful mothers out there!         

Every women should have the opportunity to feel sexy, have fun in front of the camera and be proud of themselves.  I love the opportunity to work with someone on a one on one shoot, it’s always fun and I love to be creative in the planning process.  Tracy was down for anything, she was so sweet and so much fun!  She has an amazing figure, she’s super tall and has the longest legs I’ve ever seen in person so I really tried to play up those beauties.   

I have a new clothing line that I’m going crazy over!!!  I bought every piece that Dragonflies and Ladybugs had I love the colors, the style and I love that they are super comfy … it’s all perfect!
