A few weeks ago I went to have a play date with my cousin and her two sons. We also wanted to meet the newest addition to their family, baby Van! He was only two weeks old. You may remember this family from their portrait session last year, Whitney was newly pregnant with Van then.
I love photographing newborns, every little detail about their little bodies is so amazing to me, I can hardly fathom such a tiny and perfect creation!
Jack and Hudson are the same age...they are bcf (best cousins forever!).
My favorite shot of the day!

Amy--I've been looking through your pics tonight and I LOVE them. It's like you get better and better all of the time. I appreciate so much how you can take ordinary people and make them look like beautiful super models. You know how to bring out the best in them. It's truly amazing! Hope all is well! love Tracy

Last Sunday our coolio- good friends,Mark and Candice of Mark Brooke Photography, invited us out to spend the afternoon at Candice's parents' house in the Huntington Beach Harbor. Candice's parents also own a Duffy boat, so we all decided to go out for a little ride. It was the coolest way to spend a Sunday afternoon, just lazily riding along the harbor and enjoying the weather!
It's Capt'n Mark, FULL SPEED AHEAD!
"He's got Hydrogen Psychosis, the crazy eye!"
I love my granny-glasses!
Hudson had a ton of fun driving the boat too!
Ps. Mark and Candice can make a MAD dish of fajitas!
Hanssie said:
All I can hear is the Gilligan's island Theme song...I love the shot of Candice making faces at your cute kid!

This shoot (good time) looks like it was so o 0 o 0 o fun. I had fun like this in San Francisco today. I opened a bottle of creamy salsa (from my friends, the tostitos company) and it jumped from my hand and cracked at the rim of the glass. So I clean up what spilled and started eating the rest. Now would you think that some glass might have broken off into the creamy salsa. Neither would I, but there was. Have you ever bitten glass? I did. Not cool. I'm going to my favorite place besides home...the SPA! Amelia and Hud, by the way, have you ever actually taken bad pictures? As far as i've known you, no...you have not. Just to let you know, You nailed it again and again. Keep on Rockin. Oh, and don't eat glass......ever.

Here are a few moments I've caught of our boys over the past month. Happy Sunday everyone!
Sloan is growing up so much everyday, he crawls around and loves pulling himself up onto things! I can't believe how big he is already!
I don't know why, but this photo makes me LOL!
Of course this is my favorite shot from this series!

Your kids are so lucky. They'll thank you later. I like the family pics you post, my kids are sick-o-cameras. I got them a couple times this week though since Lyndzee's been gone. My favorite of yours is the last one too. I like it because you can't even see sloans body, just his head. How'd you do that? Oh wait,...I see what you did...it's the camo isn't it? Freak! See what i mean? You guys ARE the best!
(07.13.08 04:06 PM)

The handsome Dan and lovely Theresa were married on June 14th at the Richard Nixon Library. We really had fun with this location and we even were able to shoot inside the museum! I already had a great time with this uber-cool couple on their uber-cool engagement session, the wedding was nothing short of uber-cool as well!
Also, a little side note, Nicole DeAnne did a great job with Theresa's hair and make-up, she also worked the brides maids! For any of my future brides looking for a great hair/make-up artist, Nicole DeAnne is your girl! Great job sis!
The first glance!
Justin is sooooooo good at capturing such strong emotion, just like in the following shot:
We were blessed that day with the presence of our new fabulous photog friend Denise Bovee, she took this next shot and I loved it! We heart you Denise!
Inside the museum...
My favorite shot of the day! Can anyone say SUN-GLARE?!
The ladies were having fun in the photobooth!
I'll give 100 points to anyone that can guess what song everyone is dancing to...anyone?!
We had a radically-awesome time with Theresa and Dan at the wedding! Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Choi! Click here to see their slideshow.

Justin, what'd you wish for? Seriously, I won't tell your wife and kids you told me. They don't have to know anything. Maybe I can make it come true. The Santana discography? A star named after you? Tickets to the roller derby? How about a beta fish in a plastic cup from your local Wal-Mart, I'll make sure they drill holes in the lid so you won't even have to have a fish tank. Well, let me know. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'll see you soon. (don't be scared)
