Maddie just wanted to pop in.  She wanted to say "hi." 

And me, as her mommy, had to test out my new lens.  Yes everyone, say hello to Maddie and my new 50mm f1.4 AF-S. 

Carry on! 

All Grown Up!

Many years ago, I had one of the coolest cheer coaches in the entire world.  She was a varsity cheerleader, she loved NSYNC, and she could quote every line from the blockbuster movie, Titanic. 

Well this cheer coach has grown up, and she has little cheerleaders of her own now.  In fact, she has two amazing cheerleading daughters! 

So when I was asked to take their holiday photos last year, I jumped at the chance to photograph this fun, intelligent, and amazing family! 

He's here! He's here!

Remember this photo?

Well both of these lovely ladies had their babies, on the SAME DAY! 

That's right, two life long friends had their babies on the same day and shared their experiences!  God has a funny sense of humor, doesn't he? 

Well the little man in the belly on the right is here and I was blessed enough to shoot his newborn photography a few weeks ago.  I have to share this little bundle of amazing miracles with you so you can fall in love with him as I have! 

Little Man's First Day at School

You may recognize this pint-size perfection, he's made multiple appearances on my blog and you can bet your bloomers he'll make many more! 

Well, here are a few of my favorite moments as Mr. D went to school for the first time.  It was such a blessing and a great opportunity to be there! 

He was telling me to hurry up!  He wanted to get into his classroom and I was walking too slow! 

A little Zeta "Pomp and Circumstance"

For the second year in a row, I've had the honor of photographing a few of the graduating Zeta Tau Alpha's from Cal Poly Pomona.  As an alumna of this beautiful group of women, it always makes me a little nostalgic and very proud to see these ladies put on their graduation outfits. 

This year, we had quite a bit more ladies participate and I can safely say, this was the largest portrait group I've every shot! 

Congratulations to the Theta Omega class of 2011! 

More babies are coming!

Well, it's baby season in my life.  I guess this part usually follows right after wedding season, so it was to be expected. 

A beautiful, caring, intelligent, and extremely funny woman in my life is also having a baby and when I was at the shower, I couldn't help but grab my camera and capture some of her beautiful moments! 

Enjoy! 

This mother-daughter syncronized "aw" was so perfect! 

Do you recognize this baby bump!  Yes, it's the maternity shoot star from my last blog!

Welcome Hannah!
