It had been a while since I shot in Downtown LA, I was especially looking forward to Tessa + Jay's engagement session after Tessa showed me their invites that she had designed herself. The invites were very "urban city" as I would describe them, so of course we both agreed that Downtown LA would be the best fit for their wedding style!
Nicole DeAnne was Tessa's Hair + Make-up genius!

Tessa and Jay must be ecstatic with these pics. My favorite is the one downtown (in color) with the buildings looming behind them. Very cool.

Another beautiful engagement session, Amelia!

Hello,
Excellent le blog ! Tombe sous le charme du rendu photographique. Bravo.
Juste une question : comment obtiens-tu ce rendu "vintage" des photos ? J'aimerai, sinon en faire, au moins essayer d'en faire autant !

I say this every year & I'll say it again...where does the time go?! How in the WORLD do I already have a 6 year old?! What an AMAZING kid Hudson has turned out to be, I always knew he'd be great, but he's exceeded any of mine & Justin's expectations by far! I am the most lucky & blessed person in the world to have this kid call me mom!
Like tradition, here are some fun little bits & pieces about Hudson since his last birthday post:
1. He is already super tall, he comes all the way to my armpit, I bet by the time he turns ten he'll be taller than me!
2. Got his first pair of glasses this year! He looks like a stud in them too!
3. Loves anything electronic (ie. video games, my laptop, the ipad).
4. Loves anything that has to do with Dinosaurs (T-rex is his absolute favorite).
5. Loves anything to do with Super Mario Brothers.
6. Loves anything to do with Legos.
7. Loves coloring and drawing, he's really into art right now!
8. His favorite kind of book to get from the library is not a story book, he likes to get informational books. He enjoys learning about the human heart, or snakes, sharks, and spiders.
9. Still loves raw mushrooms to snack on, but for sure his favorite snack is string cheese or a Mrs. Fields m&m cookie!
10. Has discovered that he's special because he is double jointed in his fingers.
11. Always is really good about taking his little brother Sloan under his wing and making Sloan feel protected when scared.
12. Favorite pass time is to build a fort with dad!
13. Is really good and fast at riding his razor.
14. Has learned how to read & write words, it amazes me what 7 months of kindergarten can do for a kid!
15. Is super affectionate with the whole family, loves to give kisses & hugs! Sometimes Sloan has to run away from Hudson's kisses, "Mooooooom, Hudson is using his kisses as weapons again!" LOL!
16. Has had fun participating in basketball & soccer this year.
17. Is the best at telling me what he learns everyday in detail, the kid absorbs information like his father!
18. His favorite ride at Disneyland is Big Thunder Mountain because he's tall enough to ride it!
Happy happy birthday Hudson dear, your dad and I love you more than you'll ever know!

Happy Birthday to your little Hudson. Those glasses are adorable on him.
P.S. You should bring him to the Indianapolis Children's Museum-it is the largest children's Museum in the world, and he would go nuts in Dinosphere. It is amazing. They have a little dig site, a paleontologist lab that you can watch them working on actual fossils, and a whole bunch of other cool stuff.
I know my little guy will be 6 before I know it. He wil be turning 4 in just a few weeks...man how the time flies.
Best to you and your sweet little family.
