Happy New Year!

2011-01-10T19:51:00.000-08:00

I've missed you!
I hope your Holiday Season was absolutely splendid!
Days filled with friends, family, hot chocolate, wrapping paper, gingerbread houses, Christmas music, twinkling lights, Christmas movies, Jello popcorn and Disneyland Heavenliness filled our hearts these last weeks and have left me sitting and staring at my Christmas trees not wanting to ever take them down. I admit that a few times this last week I've had my Christmas station on Pandora blaring through the house while I do the dishes...Perhaps I should move on the Valentine's Day decorations and party planning. Perhaps.

Aaaaaaaand, time to get caught up on this little blog of mine.
Feast your eyes on these two little babies! Makes you want to have twins right?

The Cadjan Family

2010-12-09T17:28:00.000-08:00

Here they are! The fabulous Cadjun Family! Doesn't little miss Anna look like she came right from a Mary Engelbreit Print? She is so precious with those perfect little ringlets bouncing around her darling face. And her brother with his guitar...mmm hhmmm, wish you could all hear him play. He is so talented! Well, all of them are really. It was so fun spending a chilly December afternoon with this wonderful family.

Hopefully I can get this post to publish. San Diego Wi-Fi has been a frustrating experience. My fingers are crossed!!!

Welcome Crew

2010-11-22T14:27:00.000-08:00

*I'm still having issues with my image hosting company...This is SOOO frustrating! Crew and his family are so gorgeous and the coloring on these images does not do them justice at all! I've switched back to using blogger's photo uploader so the images are smaller and the coloring is just a tiny bit better. Just know that these images look waaaaaaay better in real life!
Maybe click on them to get a better look :)

Oh my goodness this family is so beautiful! They all look like they just stepped out of a J Crew Catalogue! And baby Crew in all of his cuteness is a loved baby indeed! His big brother could not get enough of his little buddy. How fun to have such great kids.
And Crew was wide awake through practically the entire session, he just loved checking out the world around him. He finally dozed off for a few sleeping shots at the end, but he was darling the whole time anyway!
Thanks for such a fun shoot!

Happy Birthday Kyle!!

2010-11-18T23:15:00.000-08:00

*First of all, I need to say that these photos are reeeeeeally more vibrant and better than they're showing up here. The photo service that I use to upload my photos recently made some changes and the photos are not showing up as they should. Hopefully they'll fix the problem soon!

Check out the adorableness that is KYLE!

I love First Birthday photo shoots! It is so amazing to see how much these little ones have completely grown up in just one short little year. Kyle is so very handsome with those big, bright baby blue eyes. He's getting ready to just take off, I just know it! Most one-year-olds get tired of getting their pictures taken after just a few minutes, but this little dude was so patient and cool with whatever we wanted to do. And when his mom brought out the cake...oh boy, it was cuteness times 100.
Happy Birthday Little Guy!

The Rogers Family

2010-11-17T15:42:00.000-08:00

These are our super great friends, The Rogers! I've been Michelle's Visiting Teacher on and off for the last 5 years and it has been so fun getting to know her and to see how her cute little guy has grown! I finally meet her mom, as well as Bob's son Brandon at this shoot and It was just so fun getting to know them as well. Brandon is a handsome guy with such a great smile and you can definitely see how much he loves his new little brother. Michael has a huge smile that I'm sure is what keeps him from getting into trouble after he's unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper onto the bathroom floor :). Just a wonderful family all around! I'll be sure to post some photos of Michael in his elf costume soon. Can't wait!

The B Family

2010-11-09T10:59:00.000-08:00

Oh my goodness, this was such a fun shoot. It began with little miss A very properly introducing me to her Aunt Shannon and her Oma with the most darling little wave of her hand, then she proceeded to introduce me to her little brother and her dad. It was crazy for me to think that she is a few days younger than my Ava, and there is no way that Ava would even have the mindset to consider being so polite :) What a little doll. I was also blown away to see that her little brother is running around when the first time that I met them he was only a few months old. What a great looking family! I've loved seeing them over the last year!

The Hamilton Family

2010-11-05T14:38:00.000-07:00

I cannot say enough good things about this awesome family! There are just so many cool things about them. First of all they go to Disneyland more than anyone I've ever met...that right there should give you an idea of their total coolness. One of these days I'm going to hide in the back of their Suburban so I can go with them :).
I am just blown away at how fast time flies. We moved into their ward 6 years ago and Sarah and Emily were my little Activity Day girls, always sooo sweet, and now here they are in junior high. Erica is in College and Weston is getting ready to turn in his Missionary Pictures...WOW!!
Hamilton Fam, you guys rocked this shoot!! Thank you!!

The Pack Family

2010-11-03T18:42:00.000-07:00

There is just something about a family full of boys that makes me smile. These handsome young guys were so much fun to hang out with and photograph. Their precious personalities just shined through! And their parents, with their gorgeous faces and rocking sense of style = total awesomeness! It was one of those shoots that I wanted to just last for hours longer, but the blasted sun had other ideas.
Thank you, thank you Pack Family!

The Kirby Family + Halloween Portraits with the Penrods!

2010-11-01T11:44:00.000-07:00

I LOVE these two families! They are always so much fun to be around. Seriously, there is never a dull moment with Nate and his amazing energy along with Claire and her beautiful dark soulful eyes. Then you add their awesome cousins to the mix with their bright and beautiful faces and personalities, I feel like I am at a party instead of a photo shoot! I just love it!
Hope everyone had an amazing Halloween!!!

The Quistberg Family

2010-10-27T09:32:00.000-07:00

What a great looking family! I had such an awesome afternoon with the Quistbergs. I was jumping all over the place and doing everything that I could to get the little cutie to smile, but he wouldn't budge for me. His eyes would light up and sparkle once his parents were in view though, what a sweetheart!
Thanks so much for the great shoot guys!

The Steed Family

2010-10-26T08:29:00.000-07:00

The babies are here! Triston and Jon waited a long time for these special arrivals and I'm sure Corbin and Riley were worth the wait. I loved seeing Jon's facebook status update when they were born. It said, "One boy, one girl. Two hearts beating wildly", I LOVE that song...so precious.
They are so very cute, just like their little model of a big sis Addison. She sure knows how to work it in front of the camera :)

And if you'd like more information in Corbin's fabulous hat or Riley's sweet little diaper cover, you can find that here . They were made by my awesome friend Heather. She is so talented and her prices can't be beat!

The Phillips Family

2010-10-18T22:43:00.000-07:00

I absolutely LOVED this shoot! Spend 5 minutes with Aimei, Eric and Max, (who is BRILLIANT by the way) and you will be hooked! They were so much fun to hang out with and so gorgeous in front of the camera. And Max was the most well-behaved little fella, especially after driving all the way from Wyoming to get to our shoot. I know a few little cranky pants who live in my home that would not have been very happy about being photographed after a road trip. Seriously what a great little guy! I had a total blast with you guys! Thank you!!

The Brimley Family

2010-10-03T23:18:00.000-07:00

I feel like the luckiest photographer in the world! I get to meet and spend time with the most awesome families out there! Look at these beautiful people! Aidan kept telling me that he doesn't have a girlfriend, but with those dimples...come on! I'm sure he has at least 14 girls who claim that he's their boyfriend, he just doesn't know it :). And Ella...with that pretty smile and those sparkly eyes, WOW girl! I loved this shoot for so many reasons, I felt like I was hanging out with my gorgeous sister Lori.
They were all just so great to photograph. Thank you Brimley Family!!

The Diehl Fam!

2010-10-02T11:11:00.000-07:00

These are our fabulous cousins!
While I was editing a photo of Aidan, Bette walked by and said, "Oh, that kid is so cute!...HEY, wait a minute..that's my friend!". My kids LOVE getting to hang out with The Diehl kiddos. They have such cute personalities to go right along with those cute faces. And Lucas is seriously the best baby ever, I love that smily little guy!

Thanks again Nate and Melissa. As soon as life settles down a bit (hahaha) we'll go to dinner and I'll give indian food a try...I sure hope it's as good as you say it is :)

The Brookes Family

2010-09-23T13:48:00.000-07:00

I'm so happy to know this completely awesome family! We grew up in the same ward and it is so fun to see everyone with families of their own now. I don't think that I have ever seen children who look so much like their parents before in all my years photography. It is sooo sweet to see little mini versions of my great looking friends! Brookes Family, it was so fun seeing you all again. You are absolutely beautiful!!

Marilee + Richard {Married}

2010-09-22T15:58:00.000-07:00

This was such a fabulous wedding photograph. Excitement was in the air! And to see the look on Richard's face as he watched his gorgeous bride-to-be walking toward him was just precious!
They were both just glowing as they greeted their family and friends that were there to support them that day.
I absolutely love weddings!!
Congratulations You Two!!!!

Just thought I'd share...

2010-09-21T21:31:00.000-07:00

Gorgeousness Everywhere!!

2010-09-20T19:15:00.000-07:00

After finding out that our last baby was going to be a little girl, the first thing that my sweet husband said when getting into the car was, "I am so dead". He's convinced that the more girls he has, the more of a sap he's become. It's true people, it.is.soooo.true.
He gets teary-eyed at the drop of a hat and we all adore him for it :).

Every dad needs at least one girl, and this great guy has four!
Aren't they just sooooo beautiful??? I loved every minute of this shoot! And I totally love how they are all friends as much as they are family. It renews the excitement that I have about having four girls myself.
Gorgeous, gorgeous!

"hol-ja-me"

2010-09-15T22:00:00.000-07:00

Those words. Those dark beautiful eyes looking up at me with out-stretched arms. "Hol-ja-me".
Of coarse I will hold you Ava.

People will say what they want to about holding children too much.
"You're spoiling them"
"They need to do things on their own."
"Every time you answer the door you have your baby in your arms."
"I didn't even know that she could walk, you're always holding her."

To them I say, "meh, I don't really care."

If my little one needs to be held to feel loved, comforted and secure...you bet I'm going to "hol-ja" her!

I cannot think of one single time when she has reached up with her tiny little hand to hold mine that I have not stopped for a second, closed my eyes and thought to myself, "Remember this Amy, these moments will not last forever".

I love that my left arm is 10 times stronger than my right because that's the arm that I'm holding her onto my hip with.
I love that my FB status updates have typos because I've been trying to type around a squirmy little 2 year old sitting on my lap.
I love the Malt-O-Meal crusting on my shirt from her sticky little hands in the morning.

And I'll love these things about my Ava forever.

Here we go again!

2010-09-09T14:50:00.000-07:00

The sign in front of "Kneaders" bakery started the "Countdown to Pumpkin Bread" last month and that can only mean one thing...FALL IS HERE!!! I am so in love with fall for so many reasons...the crispness in the air, seeing my kiddos in sweaters, the beautiful colors on the mountains...ahhhhh, I LOVE IT!!! Can't get enough of it.

This fall also brings with it a new price list...yay? I've been putting it off for waaaay too long so here we go.

Beginning October 1st, sessions with Remember this...photography will be:

Pretty simple and straight forward right?
All sessions will still come with 40-60 images on DVD in Color and B&W with copyright release so you may have them printed however you please. And as always, returning clients will receive a $25 dollar discount.

Now I know that there are many of you out there who'd like to schedule a session after October 1st, but would still like to take advantage of the current pricing...well, here's my solution.

TaDA! I have my fancy-schmancy gift certificates for sale right now at the current price that you may use WHENEVER you'd like in the future! WHENEVER people! ***And all you husbands out there who'd like to score some MAJOR points with your lady, what could be better than presenting her with this little lovely?

I love all of my wonderful clients and I am looking forward to meeting so many more of you in the future!

If you'd like to take advantage of the coolness of it all here are some PayPal Buttons to make it suuuuper easy for you :)

Family Session $175

Children/Newborn Session $165

Extended Families are $75 per family but Mom and Dad are free.

*For those of you who have already scheduled a session for October and November, you will still be charged the current price without needing to purchase a Gift Certificate.
Please e-mail me with any questions at all.
