Today is Kylie’s 3rd birthday so to celebrate her momma made her princess for the day with a new pink pettiskirt and crown to match. She is such a doll. I never thought I would be much of a fan of these fancy skirts but now I want one.

Here is a little preview for mom. I also shot photos at her Birthday Tea Party so I will post some of those later.

This beautiful big brown eyed girl is turning 3 this weekend. I took this shot today as she celebrated her birthday with a few friends and family.

This cute little guy is JT. I had planned a session with him before nap time but as luck would have it I was in a car accident on my way to his house and was nearly an hour late. By the time I arrive he was way over due with his nap time and one sleepy baby. Still he was awesome.

Nearly 10 years ago I met JT’s mom Sharon when I took my oldest daughter to Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. His mom was a Student Dr who just started her rotation when Kayla was admitted and finished when she was released. Ten years later we still keep in touch and are good friends. I have since then added 2 more kids and Sharon is now an awesome Dr with her first son.

I find it amazing what life can throw at you when you least expect it. At one of the toughest periods in my life I met one awesome person and have made a great friend.

Back on June 28 Don and Twila celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They are the sweetest couple and you can surely see the love they have for one another.

I’m updating my website tonight and added a couples gallery. Since I haven’t had a chance to share photos from this session I thought today is as good a day as any

Here are a couple of my personal favs of Don and Twila. Aren’t they adorable together?

This Monday I had a session with my friend Tammy and her 4 kiddos. We took a trip out to the family property which was just beautiful. Here are a couple shots I took that morning. I think she looks amazing for having 4 kids.

No I haven’t forgotten the kids. I will post those later

I should be working but I need a break so I thought I would post another photo from last week. After our little apple picking playdate last week I got a chance to play with this little lady. She was having a grand time climbing up and down on a 2×6 board that was leaning on a foot high side rail and formed a ramp. I just love her pretty blue eyes.

This is mom’s favorite photo

At one point she fell and there she laid on her back for several minutes just happy as can be holding onto her toy. So innocent and cute.

This week I got a chance to visit with a friend who recently moved all the way to Alaska. While in town we got together for a couple sessions which are going to become a special xmas gift for her hubby who is in the Coast Guard We had so much fun and I am sad to see her leave.

Yesterday we took a trip to Rail Road Square to one of my favorite little spots. I think this is my favorite because it shows her cute new hair cut and a beautiful smile

Last Sunday my friends daughter was in her second horse show at Idylwild Farms. Being a city girl I have never been to one of these things so it was so much fun being asked to come and photograph such as awesome event. I had a great time and Alexis did so great.

She is so serious as she focused while riding but…

Happily smiles with excitement when its over. She competed against adults and won the 2nd place Now how cool is that?

You can see the anticipation in her face as she waits for her turn on a new horse.

This was her last jump and she finished like a champ.

I think Fall is coming early in Sonoma County. There was overcast skies and a heavy mist all morning.

Sometimes I just have to stop what I am doing for a minute and take a look at what is going on around me. Being a mom of 3 keeps me on my toes and I find myself going non stop for days. This afternoon the girls and I were invited to go apple picking at a friends house so we decided to make it a family trip with daddy too. As the girls and I loaded up in the van my husband sat at his drums and went to town. I love the expression and body language in this photo.

Today I spent the afternoon laughing and giggling with these 3 beautiful sisters. They were a hoot and a half. For their session we took a trip out to the Marin Headlands and visited one of my favorite places: Battery Mandle.

I still have a bunch of photos to go through from our day out today but I wanted to share one of my favorites.
