family love.
















i love taking pictures of this family. i was able to capture the AWESOME reunion when rich's ship came in from deployment this past spring. it was breathtaking. you can see those photos here. we took these family photos just prior to another deployment...i wish him safe travels and much love for his service for our country. i've never met marcy's son michael who is almost about to graduate high school.... but wow!!!! he was so so so photogenic!!!  how handsome is he?!!??? little ava always wanted to hold his hand or put her hand on his knee. preschhhhhious!!!! i love the shots of rich and michael on the park bench just being guys. they were such good sports during this photo shoot : ) once again, marcy couldn't be more wonderful. she just has this natural beauty that has definitely passed on to ava....who is growing up sooooo fast! 

'tis the season












I so so so enjoyed spending the afternoon with little Olivia at the hotel Del on Coronado. This place is absolutely magical during the holidays. With the beautiful pacific ocean, all the holiday decor, the outdoor ice skating rink and all the happy people....it really put me in the Christmas spirit. Spending Christmas in San Diego is amazing. The weather could easily be mistaken for a mid-july day, but in reality it is December! We took pictures at this same location last year and you can see how much she has grown here. She is so sweet, curious, beautiful and her little Christmas outfit had people everywhere "oohng" and "ahhhing". My sweet friend Mary Ann who i work with in the NICU is a wonderful mommy and her husband who i met for the first time is very handsome as well....I can't wait to take their pictures again next year!
