Have a lovely Friday!

April 9th, 2010

I am off to shoot Claire and Philip’s wedding at the Churchill Manor in Napa.  Until I can get some of those up, here’s a photo from this week- Cecily flying high in the sky. Remember that feeling of defying gravity on a swing? If you have the chance to get on one today, do it!

Santa Cruz Photographer : an Afternoon at the Beach Boardwalk

February 16th, 2010

After a lovely meeting this morning with potential wedding clients, Jesse and I decided to take the kids to the beautiful coast to round out our fabulous weekend.

After a lovely meeting this morning with potential wedding clients, Jesse and I decided to take the kids to the beautiful coast to round out our fabulous weekend. We went to the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz- the weather was amazing! As it turns out, our little man was in a rare mood today- calm. Normally he is a wild man, but I enjoyed every second of this cuddly, tentative guy. Sure enough, it didn’t last and as soon as we sat down for dinner in Capitola, he was back to his wild ways. Oh well, it was great while it lasted! :) Here are a few shots from the few rides we could go on- turns out Teague needs to grow a bit!

As it turns out, our little Cecily is quite the dare devil. I think she would have ridden on anything if given the chance. Jesse is the best dad, always up for anything with the kids.

Jesse giving Teague a little pep talk before “the spooky train ride”… and then whooping it up with Cecily on the Pirate Ship.

I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend! We were so blessed to have amazing weather and this time together.

Happy Birthday Little Man

January 25th, 2010

Today my little guy turned 3. My little baby, 3- I can hardly believe it. Teague is wild, he is fun, he laughs hard and easily which I love. He can be a handful, but I wouldn’t have him any other way, I adore him. And with this, our month of birthday madness ends! Happy [...]

Cecily’s First Day Back to School

August 27th, 2009

“Stop growing!” I told her for the 100th time. “Nooooo!!!” She laughs. She thinks I’m joking with her, but I’m not, it is going by too fast. Four and a half and the whole world at her feet. Today, my baby girl goes back to school. Another year full of adventure, learning, and FUN! She [...]

“Stop growing!” I told her for the 100th time. “Nooooo!!!” She laughs. She thinks I’m joking with her, but I’m not, it is going by too fast. Four and a half and the whole world at her feet.

Today, my baby girl goes back to school. Another year full of adventure, learning, and FUN! She has so much fun at school with her friends and her amazing teachers.

Cecily, this year your daddy and I hope for you lots of laughter, wonder, amazement, and learning. The biggest gift we can give you, besides our love, is a strong education. We hope this year deepens your love of learning and your relationships with your teachers and friends. Go get ‘em baby! We love you.

Bowling With the Ladies

July 9th, 2009

Old friends are the best, and I got to see a few of them the other night. Well, one is my sister and I see her all the time, but the other two, Sarah and Jaime are some of the oldest friends I have and I don’t get to see them as often as I [...]

 

Old friends are the best, and I got to see a few of them the other night. Well, one is my sister and I see her all the time, but the other two, Sarah and Jaime are some of the oldest friends I have and I don’t get to see them as often as I would like. These three are all dear to me and it was so fun to have a night out with them. There is never a lack of things to talk and laugh about- it’s just so easy and I love it. Thanks ladies, and Jaime…. I had no idea you were such a bowler! It’s on lady, I’m taking you down next time! (any bowling coaches out there?)

I had all the confidence in the world going in…. it was me (thanks Jaime for pushing the button on this one!)

Versus these three… (from the left Smokin’ Sarah, Jivin’ Jaime, and Karumba Katy) It was ON!!!

Jivin’ Jaime proved to be a great bowler- I should have known when she brought her own shoes! There were a few moments when I thought I could gain on her….

But once she got a turkey and did the official turkey dance, I knew it was over!

So when we walked by the basketball game on the way to the bar- I didn’t even think to challenge Jaime to a match- but Katy did- and it wasn’t even close!

Thanks ladies- much love to you all!
