Time to catch up on some missing blog posts. I thought I would start with a few head shots from a session I had in July while I was in Southern California. This lovely lady is the one who brought me down for her engagement photos. We had decided to get together for lunch the next day but ended up meeting up with a very good friend of mine and her friend who is an amazing makeup artist so that Helen could be a makeup model.

Jennifer did an amazing job and I am looking forward to working with her again sometime soon for some boudoir sessions at the end of the year. For the first look Jen did a very bold look which I loved. The colors were just amazing and would be perfect for a night out.

For the second look she did something more subtle yet still just as gorgeous.

If you are in the LA area and ever need a fantastic makeup artist I highly recommend  Jennifer.

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

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.

After a photoshoot a few weeks ago I snapped this candid of my friend’s husband. He was standing on the porch watching his daughter play in the front yard with my girls. I love this photo and it is so him.
