We had a ragin' party on Cinco de Mayo to help celebrate mine and Candice Brooke's birthdays! We handed out MOUSTACHES for everyone to wear, ate tons of guacamole, grilled up some amazing carne asada, and my mom even made trifle!

Sloan was the first of the bunch to wear his MOUSTACHE in style!

Here are the birthday girls:

Everyone wore their MOUSTACHES, and wore them well! Nate rocked his own!

I think the biggest success of the evening was our Strawberry Shortcake Pinata! Of course the birthday girls went first and we had to be blindfolded!

Thanks to everyone for coming, it was a blast!!!!

Also, our good friend Lan Bui made an amazing video of the evening's events, you can view the video by clicking on the image below. Thanks Lan!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUDSON!

04.04.08

Today Hudson turns three! We can't hardly believe how fun these past three years been and how fast they have flown by! This morning we woke up Hudson with his favorite breakfast in the world...."circle toast" (aka donut!) and sang "happy birthday" to him. He was super excited! We wanted to put candles in it, but have since misplaced them in our recent move, so we'll have to put candles in his cake.

Hudson is the joy of our lives, he really keeps us on our toes and makes us laugh everyday! We are so thankful to have him around, life would be so boring without him! Happy Birthday little man!

This last photo makes us laugh super hard....Hudson isn't quite coordinated enough yet to hold up his fingers to show us how old he is without trying reeeeeeeaaaaalllly hard! So funny, he almost has it right, we promise he's not trying to flip off the camera!

angel swanson said: adooooore these pics of precious hudson. i love the look on his face in the 2nd photo as he eyes his circle toast! have a fabulous party! xoxo (04.04.08 6:29 PM)

WE'VE BEEN KISSED!

04.03.08

Last week we got our first sign in album back from Kiss Wedding Books. The process was amazingly simple and the end result was BEAUTIFUL! I am so excited to use Kiss Wedding Albums exclusively for all of my clients' sign in albums! Not only did my album get printed and bound with out any sweat, but the staff of this awesome company was more than friendly!

I used images from Gretta & Rob's engagement session, I had a ton of fun designing it!

A HUGE thank you to Shaun and Kevin (owners of Kiss Wedding Books) for putting together and providing such an amazing album for my clients, I can't wait to show it off!

LONG BEACH AQUARIUM

04.02.08

A few weeks ago Justin's parents came into town for a visit, they needed a little "grandson fix"! We decided to do something a little different a headed down to the Long Beach Aquarium, it was really amazing and our boys totally loved it too! I highly recommend a visit there for anyone who has a free few hours to spend! After the aquarium we had to stop by the beach since that's grandma's favorite place to be! It was a fun day!

Stevie said: Thanks for sharing what looked like a fabulous day! I love that photo of Justin with Sloan and Hudson driving the boat. He has the coolest clothes. That shirt is awesome! (04.03.08 6:29 AM)

Hey there Miss "Eliza"!!!

03.22.08

First of all, something has to be said about the awesome response we've had from everyone about our new branding...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! It really has been sweet reading everyone's comments and uplifting words of praise, we are so thankful to have people surrounding us to cheer us on everyday!

So, there's this amazing women's fashion magazine targeting women with higher standards called ELIZA. We have been privileged to shoot a few spreads for them, including a super fun bridal shoot for their first issue. (You can see those pics by clicking HERE)

This is our good friend Summer Bellessa.

She is the editor for Eliza and we were just informed that they have done a featured article on Amelia on their homepage.

The most recent session that we shot for Eliza Magazine was for a pregnancy spread, here is one of our favorite images from the grouping:

Keep an eye out for our photos in the pregnancy spread in Eliza-Summer issue. Also, be sure to check out Eliza online and subscribe, it really is a pretty cool magazine and the issues come quarterly.
