Baby News!

there's been a lot happening around here the last few months so i have a bunch of stuff to blog... some weddings, fun purchases from flea markets + craft fairs and a couple crave shoots.

but the big news is that we're having a baby! we found out in february and life hasn't been the same. in a good way of course. we kept the good news from our family and friends until we got to 12 weeks. it was nice to have that time for ourselves to process the whole life changing experience we're about to have. there were plenty of times i just wanted to blurt it out but somehow controlled myself. i thought for sure my mom would just know by looking at me, like it was written all over my face. by the time we shared the good news everyone was so excited for us!

so far things have been super. i didn't get any morning sickness and no crazy cravings, the only thing was that i wanted to tap naps. every. afternoon. the sleepy part has gone away but i still don't have that BURST of energy like they say you should have in the second trimester. i can't believe that as of last week we're already half way there (due date is mid october). and to top it off we found out we'll be having... a GIRL! we thought for sure we'd hold out and not find out the sex, you know, the ultimate surprise. however, as the days got closer to the ultrasound appointment we decided we had to know. seeing her on the monitor during the ultrasound was a trip! her little legs were kicking around and arms moving... she was pretty active. i still haven't felt her moving around but i'm sure that won't be too far away.

as for business stuff... my last wedding is in august then i'll be taking time off. i've started to get inquires for weddings in 2010 as well so let's talk if you're interested! if you want to book a lifestyle portrait session before end of august send an email.

enjoy the weekend!!


last week we stopped off at the photobooth in wasteland on haight to mark the half way point...

happy easter!

found this photo at the alemany flea market. i'm sure the baby is wondering what that plastic bunny is doing.

Omar + Nancy | Wedding | Walnut Grove

i fell behind in blogging before the new year and didn't post some great weddings we shot. in the weeks to come i'll be sharing some of the images on the blog.

back in october i went to walnut grove for omar + nancy's beautiful backyard wedding. the wedding took place on her grandmother's wonderful estate with so much greenery and lovely flowers. the ceremony took place later in the day so the light was dreamy and the colors beautiful.

i hadn't met the couple before the big day since they lived on the east coast. nancy was recommended to me from her dad who was a guest at liza + matt's wedding earlier in the year. they were a sweet couple and it was a joy to work with them both. i loved so many of the elements they had at their wedding including the family style salad tossing and the band rowdy kate kept people dancing all night.
