Shhhhh…

So I can’t post too many from this session because their wedding is not until next month but I just had to post a few.  What a great couple An and Viet are!  Because the weather is so unpredictable in February, An and Viet wanted to have a pre-wedding photo session all dolled up in their gown and tux.  We had a blast!

Aleah & Scott

Okay, so I’m a little overdue on blogging.  Alright, a LOT overdue.  To say I needed a little break was an understatement.  With a somewhat relaxing January, my kids have had the QT with mom that they so needed and I’ve had a chance to just enjoy my kids without constantly putting them off because of my work.  I feel so refreshed and ready to start again with a clear head and a happy heart.

On a chilli Saturday, I shot Aleah and Scott’s engagement session.  Aleah and Scott were so much fun to hang with.  Their daughter Sasha was involved too!  Thank you Aleah and Scott!  I’m so excited about your wedding in Larkspur in September!  I know it’s going to be fabulous!

Happy Holidays

I hope you are taking a break to enjoy your friends and family.  I know I haven’t posted in awhile but my kids are just growing too fast and I took the remainder of December to enjoy them.  We’ve baked a lot, played a lot, watched a lot of movies and just enjoyed being together.  I’ll start posting regularly again next month!  Have a WONDERFUL new year!

From our family to yours,

  5. Robyn wrote: I'm looking forward to getting your Christmas card, too. Hopefully, ours will be received before Christmas, they are still being processed. I have to say that reading your blogs and looking at your pictures is one of the highlights of my week. I'm always a little sad if I don't see a new post every couple of days! I know that you are a very busy woman, so can't post on a daily basis. I often wish I could sit down and look through all of your photos, not just the few on your blog. I also wish that i lived closer, so that you could photographic my family more. I still treasure the maternity/ newborn photos that you took of me/us when AK was born. Ok, so this year, I haven't really asked a lot from Santa, but I have to confess that I have been secretly envying/drooling over my friends I-pod touches. I have a nano, so am trying to be content with that, but I would so love an I pod touch, being a music lover and all :) So we'll see. Love you! (12/16/09, 8:31 pm)

Freezing session

This was my last portrait session of the year and it was chilly.  Not as chilly as this week has been but still very cold.  I think it lasted all of 15 minutes.  But we got some great stuff.  Here’s one of my favs._MG_7120

I’ve got one more wedding coming up in Vail and then I’m done for the year!  It’s been such a great year and I’m excited to see what 2010 has in store for me and my clients!
