Not to long ago I got a chance to meet a sweet little boy and his new family. This little guy was all smiles and just loved showing off his mad light saber skills with any stick he could find. His brother and sister just loved climbing all the trees they could find and at the end of our session together everyone was in the tree for one last family photo.
Celebrating Adoption an organization formed from a group of photographers dedicated in promoting adoption. During the first year of the adoption participating photographers offer a FREE “parent & child” session and a set of printed proofs. I also offer an additional 15% discount on any orders placed from their session and a FREE session a year later.
If you or anyone you know is interested in a Celebrating Adoption Session I encourage you to visit the website for more information by clicking the banner below.
I am so proud to say that I am a member of this organization. Last year I had the pleasure to meet one beautiful little girl and her awesome new mommy for my very first CA session.

On a dreary day like today its wonderful to be able to going through a session like this and see how beautiful Santa Rosa can be this time of year.
Just 5-1/2 weeks ago this family welcomed their handsome little guy into this world. Nicole and Nick are long time clients of mine and really great friends. I absolutely love our sessions together and am so excited to share their most recent family photos. A year and a half ago was our first session and Wyatt was just 7 months old. Now he is quite the active toddler and a very loving big brother.

Every year I have the pleasure of getting together with this little tribe for their family photos. Just a year ago the family grew by one more to make a family of 7. So much has happened in the last year with Baby G turning 1, her sister starting kindergarten (happens to be in the same class as my little girl) and the big kids doing great in their new school. I can’t believe its been 4 years already since I first met this family and I am so proud to call them my friends.
For this year’s family photo we decided to go/try something new and head over to Railroad Square in Santa Rosa, Ca. Each time I head over there I find something new to love.
Gotta love the expressions on these adorable kiddos. Definitely shows their personalities. I find it funny how each one of them have dirtied their jeans the same way.
Just the kids:
Took this one a while back but never blogged it. Baby G was loving this bucket and then some. She is so cute.
Young love. This little guy was loving on my youngest. They are just too cute. I wonder what they are going to say when they look at this photo as adults.

While in LA I had the pleasure of meeting Jenilee of www.TurtleDovePhotography.NET for a family session. I am a huge fan of her work (have been for a couple years now) so you can imagine my excitiment when the day came that I was not only going to meet her in person finally but also her family. Lucky for me she traveled about an hour to meet at my mom’s house so we can take photos of each other’s families.
Being a photographer its rare that we are ever in front of the camera, for that matter with our family so this was a huge treat for the both of us. With 3 kids of our own it near impossible to get everyone to stay still for the camera, never mind that most children of photographers run away when they see momma with the camera LOL
If only I could show you the madness that took place just to get these photos. I am sure everyone would be laughing. Toddlers and heat don’t mix. Add to that a cool backyard with fun stuff to play with and you have complete madness. Still I had a lot of fun.
Here is my favorite of Jen and her beautiful baby girl. By this time she was getting fussy and was so done but momma looks so beautiful and happy 
Here is the oh so awesome shot Jen got of my family. I am shocked that everyone is looking at the camera and my middle girl is even smiling.

I’m a little behind in previews but slowly and surely I am catching up. While down in Southern California I found myself super busy catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. My second session was with Gabe and his sister Lani. I haven’t seen Gabe since he was a newborn or met his new sister so it was an extra special treat to get a chance to visit with him and his family. His dad and my husband are long time surfing buddies so our families go way back =o)

My little buddy Cole has the most infectious smile. Just a couple days before making my trip to Los Angeles I met up with Cole and his family for a session down at Point Reyes Bear Valley Trail. Despite the horrible heat we were having inland the weather was very pleasant down around Point Reyes.
This family session included Cole’s parents, uncle, grandmother, grandfather and his wife. It was a pleasure to meet some more of his family and I had a wonderful time.
Just the boys ~ 3 Generations.
Everyone got some one on one time with this little guy starting with his very loving parents.
And let us not forget my friends Whitney and Josh who also happen to be Cole’s mom and dad 
Thank you for such a wonderful time. One of these days I will have to head out there again and hike the rest of Bear Valley Trail. I wanna see what is at the other end 
Unfortunately our day ended with a very sad phone call from my mom telling me that my grandpa had just passed away. I can not thank my friend Whitney enough for being there and offering comfort when I needed it most. You all are the best and I am so thankful to have friends like you.

I had so much fun with these two little guys. His mom brought them down to Petaluma for a mini session right before I left out of town. She has so patiently waited for a preview so I can’t have her wait any longer.
I think this section of Petaluma is becoming my new favorite hang out. There are great locations around every corner and what looks old and dirty to one person is beautiful to me.
I love the view from this waterfront balcony. Every time I have visited this location there are have been so many people just hanging out up there.
This little guy is just too cute. He has the most adorable smile as you can see and he loved sitting on these steps though it was making mom a little nervous.
Momma I hope you enjoyed your little preview. It was great meeting you and your adorable little guys.

Last weekend I made a trip down to Southern California for a very special engagement and family session over at Huntington Library in San Marino, California. As part of their session the happy couple requested a photo of the “new family” which includes her daughter and his two children. I had a wonderful time and it was so neat to check out a place I have never been to before even though I had lived in LA for most of my life.
I know I am editing a little out of order but this is a special rush request since “dad” will be flying out tomorrow morning to visit his BIL who is very ill. He wants to see a photo of the new family so I wanted to make sure that he had a photo to take with him. Please say a prayer for this family as they need all they can get.

A few days ago I had the pleasure to meet with tattoo artist Scott from Santa Rosa Tattoo and his family for one awesome Urban Session in Petaluma. There couldn’t have been a better family for one of my favorite locations. I have been trying so hard to go through all the photos but its so hard to choose just a few for a preview so be prepared for a picture overload.
For our session we headed down to one rusty old funky train that was covered in graffiti and full of character. Scott’s two older boys were climbing all over these trains like it was nothing.
I had an incredible time hanging out with you all so thanks again for coming down and checking out this cool hide away.
Just the Boys
The Kids
This precious girl turned around and gave me this pose when I least expected it. She is so beautiful
Handsome Little Guy
Cool Big Brother
At the High School Senior. I swear I didn’t tell him to pose like this. He did this all by himself.
Momma and her girl
A photo with Papa
and last but not least a tattoo shot for mom

I wanted to wish all the fabulous mother’s out there a very happy mother’s day. I hope you all are are to do something special with your children.
These 3 precious girls are the reason I am called “momma” I can’t imagine my life without them. These girls of mine keep me on my toes every day and remind me of the important things in life.
I tried so hard to get a photo with my girls but they have officially become sick of the camera. Hum I wonder why LOL Still I love this photo. It shows their personality exactly how they are every day. Luckily we got a nice shot considering I only had a chance to hit the timer twice on the camera before these girls ran off to play in the mud.
Don’t forget there are just two more days to get those votes in for the Fabulous Faces Contest.
