My friend, Chris, is an AMAZING photographer and when she suggested an “exchange” for Christmas pictures, I jumped at the chance! Not only did we get to have our first official photo shoot since Simon was born, but I got to, once again, photograph this DROP-DEAD beautiful family. I mean…seriously, I think Chris could wear a bag over her head and still give Heidi Klum a run for her money.




I can’t believe that Gigi is 4 already!! Where does the time go?! I swear it was yesterday that she was the precious little flower girl (only 2 months old!) in my wedding. We had planned to do a total family shoot, but had way too much fun eating Nicole’s homemade pizza that it got late and little brother Brody got too tired. I’m stoked on how many shots we got of Gianna though. I think she was super excited to be the center of attention, but then again, what four-year-old wouldn’t be?!






And this one just for fun…

This past Sunday I met up with the entire Nelson family at an Encinitas beach. We were lucky to have such beautifully clear skies, which made for a great day.
