I have been so anxious to share these but have held off for a couple weeks until I was able to share a link back to the fabulous Miss Things Boutique. Its been raining like crazy this winter season so we have had a hard time planning a session to get out and photograph these adorable pettiskirt dresses but we managed to get a tiny break a few weeks ago. These are part of the new Punk Line over at Miss Things Boutique. Seriously how cute are these?!?!

Sally Sally Sally….I had so much fun getting to know her this last Dec. From the first email to the day we met she has been nothing but a super fun person to get to know. I love her energy and excitement for life. It sorta makes me miss being a senior in high school again.

We got together early Dec. for our first session down in Petaluma, one of my favorite places to be. A few weeks later we met up again after a session with her best friend Eva (will post those later) and then finally one more time for a quick session to get that perfect shot to include in the year book. I have been trying to check up on all past sessions so I am really happy to finally share these with you all.

Remember this little guy? His birth was my first session in 2010. I have been meaning to post his photos on my blog but only got as far as posting a few on Facebook and Flickr. I absolutely adore photographing newborns and little Robert let me come play for a couple sessions (once alone and then with the family)

The weather has been rainy and gloomy the past couple of months so its was nice to get out with the camera again. This week I got a chance to photograph the first few preview items for Moss Oak Lane. I absolutely adore what I have seen so far and I can’t wait for the rest to be made so I can share all the lovely styles.

My youngest even got a special dress made for her birthday. She loves is almost more than I do. I got to pick out the fabric for this gorgeous dress which in my opinion matches my own personal style perfectly.

And finally some adorable skirts. I can’t pick a favorite because I love them all. Luckily all these little cuties loved playing “dress up” with us.

Its an extra special day and my sweet valentine is turning 3 years old today. Time sure has gone by fast. Before she was born, Valentine’s Day was a day just for sweet hearts but now its so much more. I love anything and everything having to do with red and/or pink hearts.

This year my girls and our close friend each got special Valentine’s Day cards to give to their friends at school and mom’s group exchange. I think they came out pretty cool if I do say so myself.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine’s Day with their sweet heart. I know I will be.

Valentine Cards are each photographed/custom designed by Becky Castillo and printed as standard wallet sized prints with rounded corners ♥

Every new life is a blessing and how awesome is it to be expecting 3 little ones. On a chilly afternoon while there was a slight break in the rain I had a chance to meet with wonderful couple for an urban style maternity session in Railroad Square in Santa Rosa. Luckily the rain decided to stay away just long enough for us to have our session but the wind made it quite chilly.

Thanks for the wonderful time and congratulations again on your 3 tiny miracles.

Who gave my girls permission to grow up? It sure as heck wasn’t me. A few days ago I took my girls out for a couple mini sessions so I could make their Valentine’s Day cards for school and moms group. I don’t take photos of my girls quite enough so it was a lot of fun. I did have fun bribing my little ones with those large heart candies so they wouldn’t run away hehe

Just a tiny little peanut and my first session with a preemie. This little guy was the sweetest ever and his parents were such a pleasure to work with. I love all the tiny little details captured during this session ♥

Aw I have been looking forward to posting this recent maternity session but due to the craziness around here the blog post has been a bit delayed. We got together just before the holidays for a special in home session. Today as this little one is officially due so I anxiously await word that she has arrived. I love my job!!!

This shot by far is my favorite. Big sister is so excited about baby coming and it didn’t take much convincing to get her to give baby loves.

I remember when I finished this session I thought to myself, “I wonder if I got anything wow worthy” I am my own worst critic which sometimes means I have been know to leave a session wondering if I captured what I set out to do. I will be honest and say that I was pleasantly surprised when I finally got a chance to look through the session photos and found myself in love with so many.

2010 is already off to a wonderful beginning. Just 5 days into the new year a precious little boy was welcomed into this world. Being the 3rd child, his parents wanted to wait till his birth to find out if they were welcoming another boy or another girl. I am  am extremely honored to be able to share his special birthday, which happens to be the same as my dad, with his family and friends.
