After literally months of trying to find the perfect date, the perfect weather and the perfect location – we finally managed to complete the first Yellow Flower session of the year.  And it couldn’t have been with a better family!  These three sweeties were just a dream come true.  I was nervous about how I’d do physically, chasing three kids around now that I’m wildly pregnant and experiencing some pretty painful hips, ligaments, and all the other wonders of being in my third trimester.  But an amazing thing happened, there was no chasing involved!  There were smiles, flower picking, rock collecting, laughter, and just a jolly good time.

Thank you Tiffany and Alex for showing up with such darling children. Enjoy your sneak peek.  :)

Last night I had the honor of photographing the birth of Khai.  Over the years there are certain clients who I know I will remember for a lifetime.  Thuy and Mark were those kinda clients.  They were warm and friendly, kind and funny.  Throughout the entire day there was a positive energy in the room, even during times of pain and fear.  I feel lucky not only to have shared this very important day with them, but also to have just simply met them.  They have such a calming effect on those around them.  I know in my heart that sweet Khai will grow up into a wonderful man with parents like Thuy and Mark.

Thuy and Mark, thank you for inviting me to photography the birth of your sweet boy, Khai.  He is simply BEAUTIFUL, as are you.  Enjoy your sneak peek.

I went out in the yard today for some “therapeutic photography”.  Enjoy. :)

my favorite…

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Siri’s 3rd Birthday Party.  What a blast!!!  The decor, the crowd, the entertainment, the sweet birthday girl – everything was just perfect.  A huge thanks to Radhika for choosing me to photograph this amazing event.  You sure know how to throw a party! ;)  Enjoy your sneak peek…

Are these decorations gorgeous or what?!

The proud parents with their birthday girl.

I couldn’t resist this sweet party guest in his hat… his brother had one too! Cuteness…

Her face when she first saw Tinkerbell walk in the door.  *OMG*

Birthday girl, her mom and some awesome fairies from Fairies & Dragons.

LOL… he wasn’t upset… this was his “mean face”. ;)

Craft time!

Face Painting!

Words can not describe such cuteness.

Party pooper. ;)

This is what happens when you make fun of the Birthday Girl’s mom.  Be warned.

What a big girl!  She blew them all out!

Towards the end of the party, Siri got the feeling that Tinkerbell would be leaving soon and she basically would NOT let go of her!
