Thursday Randoms

So its basically been forever since I've blogged. I know, sad face. I hate that I've put it off for soo long already, but seriously having a newborn is no joke. No, I'm not making excuses for it, but she really does take up all my time & energy. Not that I would trade her for ANYTHING :) She's my little piece of heaven. More on my baby girl Emma on a future post. Hold me to it. And don't let me off soo easy. If I slack off, ask me about it. I don't mind, really ;)

Lylah turns ONE | Pasadena Lifestyle Portraits

This session holds a special place in my heart... I met Lylah the day she was born... As in, I was in the delivery room with her mama. She happens to be a good friend of mine :) Over the past year I've watched her grow and to say the least, it's bitter-sweet. This past Saturday she turned one, here are my fav from her session. Enjoy!

Blessings to you & your family Lylah!

Lumi & David | Orange County Portraits

I've seriously have been dying to finally blog this session... I showed you a couple sneaks on Facebook but here is the full post, finally! I'm in love with it & how can you not be when Lumi & David are like the epitome of "in love". I see the way David looks at Lumi & it's as they were just married. Yesterday it was featured on Le Magnifique a wedding inspiration blog and I was ecstatic! We asked what they love about each other & here are their answers:



What David loves about Lumi: Lumi has so much beauty inside and out. It is clear to see her great personality, her good nature and her ambition in everything she does. I cant image my life without her. The way she treats me , the way she speaks with me and others and the great love she has inspires me and makes me feel at home. God has blessed me so much with Lumi, she is beyond my all my expectations and needs. I love her so much!

What Lumi loves about David: David conquered me with his kindness and goodness. He is the perfect example of a gentleman and godly man. In good time and bad times David has been by my side and is teaching me about love: Love is kind, love is patient, love doesn't envy, does not seek its own, and love never fails....Together with David I feel safe, complete and ready for life's journey. Love him very very much!

Lumi & David, thank you for choosing me to document your love. I had so much fun with you guys, hopefully it's not the last!

Blessings!

Play date at the Villa | Los Angeles Portraits

My friend Alexia is in visiting from out of state... She's a mommy of three adorable children & happens to be a fantastic photographer herself! For the past three years she's been running a successful photography business, Ty Bebe Photography, out of Souther California, and a couple of months ago moved out to Utah. If you're in Utah, you have to check her out!

As photographers, we usually don't get too many pictures with our own children, so Alexia & I wanted to do something about that. We headed out to the Getty Villa in Malibu for a play date and enjoyed a beautiful day with the kiddos.

Here are some of my fav's of Alexia, Tyson, Layla & Kira!

This is Layla...

Looking forward to another play date next time your in town Alexia!

Hugs & kisses to you four from Emma and I :)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
