I met with the Yphantides this afternoon at their beautiful home. This family was so much fun and made my job so easy. In fact, this is the biggest post so far because I had so many great pictures of them to choose from! They are also excellent fake laughers and I’m not lying when I say I want my kids to be just like theirs when they are older because they were so sweet, funny and well-behaved.












Have I mentioned lately how cute my little sister is?








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.









Chris and I work together during our “day jobs” and she is also an amazing photographer (our family has been lucky enough to be her models). I give the prize for “easiest shoot ever” to this family. They were so laid back and their kids were PERFECT!! Plus, it was a beautiful day after such a rainy week.








My niece, Adelaide June, turned 1 on April 21. She is growing up into such a beautiful little lady, who makes me laugh at all the funny faces she makes. My husband looks at Addie’s pictures and says it makes him want to have a girl. Those are my thoughts exactly!







I had so much fun on this shoot and loved so many of the pictures (seriously, could she get any cuter?!), that I thought I’d put two posts up to display all of them! Enjoy!






Bonnie Anne (yes, her middle name is Anne with an “e”, that’s how cool she is…I’m thinking of starting a club) is graduating high school in a couple months. We headed out to Rancho Carrillo to take her senior portraits. We had a great time chasing the peacocks around. There were so many of them!






Jenni and CJ have five of the most beautiful kids on the planet! We went to Discovery Lake and played around and the twins had fun messing around with my camera. I think we might have some budding photographers on our hands!








And this one, just to show off each of their individual personalities…

Chris is a super laid back, down-to-earth kind of guy. He actually graduated early and is deciding where to go to school in the fall. I’m sure whatever college he chooses will be lucky to have him!






Dana, Chris and Nate live on the most amazing piece of property in Valley Center. We had a great time exploring, cracking up and all in all, it got me really excited to have two boys! Dana and Nate leave in June to go to China for two years to teach English and Chris is off to college (his senior pictures will be posted soon!)
