13 years have flown by so fast and in a blink of an eye my baby girl, my first born, is officially a teenager. I never could have imagined how this little person has changed my life forever. She is an amazing student and extremely talented with the flute. While I can’t take credit for her musical talents I would like to think I have had something to do with her love for school. Over the weekend my girl celebrated her birthday at home with a few of her friends and of course her little sisters. Words can not describe how much I love hearing a house full of children with all the giggles that come along with it.
My girls are the reason why I am called mom ♥ Happy Birthday to my beautiful teenager!!!!

I just can’t get over how big my babies are getting. I swear kids just grow up way too fast!!! I’m finally getting a chance to share a few photos from a session I did last month down at Railroad Square in Santa Rosa with my own girls. This is something I look forward to doing around their birthdays which lucky for me allows for sessions 3 times a year and its so neat seeing how much they have changed from the year before. Considering I am photographer you would think my walls are filled with recent photos of my own girls but sadly photos get taken and never printed. This year however I couldn’t resist and finally I have updated/recent photos hanging on my walls.
My oldest started Jr High/Middle school this year. Already I can see she is loosing that little girl look and is becoming a teenager.
*sniff sniff* She is looking so grown up
I just love this shot of my youngest. Its a face she makes all the time but this was the first time I have been lucky enough to capture it.
I can’t help but to smile every time I see this.

Tonight my girl played her flute for the very last time for this school year at the sixth grade promotion ceremony. In just 2 school years she has taken to the flute like a natural and excelled way beyond my expectations. I am so proud of her. Unfortunately her flute was on loan from the school and she had to give it back tonight. She was very sad about that since she would love to play over the summer.

With the school year coming close to an end these past two weeks have been super busy with all the school activities, concerts and other random family fun time. This Saturday the girls and I went to a birthday party for a friend of ours and Shelsea totally wore herself out at the park. On the way home she fell asleep while eating her bag of Cheetos so here she is knocked out with cheesy lips and her hand still in the bag LOL
On those days that I think my life is tough and I just want to take a vacation I have to stop and remind myself to appreciate little moments like these because they sure grow up fast.

Mid next week marks the end of the school year and the end of the 5th grade. My oldest has done so good this year and I am so proud. She seems to be down in the dumps these past couple of weeks. Not sure exactly why but to help boost her spirits we headed out for a little photo session just for her. She was so happy to be the “super star” for the day which I thought was just beyond adorable.
Looking at the photos now I just can’t get over how much she looks just like her daddy and how much she has grown. My little girl so slowly becoming a teen.
and of course one last pic with her flute before she has to return it back to the school for the summer

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.

I am so far behind in my blogging its really sad 
With the recent death back home and then getting so busy with sessions last month I have been neglecting my blog. I promise to catch up though because I sure have been busy and having fun this last month. The wild flowers are starting to bloom like crazy. Sonoma County is so beautiful in the spring time, I can’t image living anywhere else.
Last week I stumbled upon the coolest hill covered with orange california poppy flowers. I am so used to seeing these along the side of the freeway and never in a location where we could go run and play in them. Luckily I had my camera with me, when do i not LOL, and took a few pics of my girls before heading out to run more arrands.

I have been longing to get out in the mustard fields but all this rain has made it impossible. Luckily we got a 3 day break with some sun which of course I gathered up my girls and got out there first chance I got.
Thanks to a friend of mine I was granted special private access to a local mustard field here in Santa Rosa. Ca. I have always wanted to walk through a tall field but until a few days ago the closest I got was just looking at what was available on the side of the road.
My oldest daughter started playing the flute in her school band last year and already has moved up to 3rd year band. I have never taken a photo of her playing except at the school concerts so I wanted to do something special just for her and planned a special session where she can show me her stuff while taking in the beautiful surroundings.
This by far is my favorite photo from our session.
Peeking around the corner where she can not see me I got this shot of her playing.
Another shot from the field. You can get a good idea how large it was.

It has been a super long week. All 3 of my girls have come down with the sickies which unfortunately means I am super behind on editing sessions and filling orders. I am really sorry about that As much as I love my job as a photographer my role as a mom has to come first at times like these.
Yesterday was my turn for our Day in the Life (DITL) on my moms group (Sonoma County Mom) so I spent the entire day taking pics of my girls. Despite all the tears and fussiness I managed to get a few smiles that I wanted to share.
It seems my girls are on the mend so business will be back to normal soon. There is just two weeks until Valetine’s Day and I can’t wait.
