happy birthday zeke!
Thanks to everyone who's sent me emails & phone calls about the new website! Your encouragements and kind words mean so much!!
At the end of October I went to Sacramento to shoot my best friend, Christina, and her family for their christmas cards. The plan was to shoot at their new house to get some fun, cute family shots and to show off how big the baby is getting. I thought about shooting in the street... maybe move the couch or chairs in the middle of the road. Instead of the couch we went with the bench on the front patio. The look on Dereald's face was hilarious when I told him my plan to shoot in the street. Just work with me here.
After about 20 minutes I knew we got some good stuff to use so we wrapped it up. Besides, Christina had to hurry off to open the bar. She and her brother own the Elixir Bar (also just voted by SN&R as the Best Dive Bar) in downtown Sacramento. After she left Dereald changed the baby's clothes and he put on a different outfit too. The plan was to get some daddy and baby shots to surprise Christina. When she opened her gift and found the framed photos she teared up. It was so sweet.
I'm so happy that I could do something like this for a friend who has done so much for me over the years.
If you are interested in having save the date/thank you/greeting cards made just let me know.

last year i took some pictures of little juliet with her mom & dad at their home. she was only 2 months old and such a good, cute little baby. and those eyes! this was my one of my first babies to shoot besides my nephew and it was fun. at the time we were about a month out from getting married so things were a little hectic finishing up the last of the planning. i found it to be a welcomed break to stop thinking about the wedding and focus on taking some pictures.
i can't believe she'll be 1 next month... time just flies by. she's on her way to becoming an independent walker any day now. here's some pictures from last year.
yesterday my best friend gave birth to a baby boy! introducing zeke! he was so warm and cuddly with his super cute chubby cheeks. daddy, mommy & baby are all doing good.
i was able to snap off a few photos of him before he turned twelve hours old. i have a feeling i'll be taking lots more pictures of this little baby over the next 18 years.
isn't he so adorable...
