a little update

Remember this little cuttie from a few weeks ago? Well her parents sent off her headshots to some agents and right away they got responses back, from some of the most well known agents. How exciting! So very soon she will be meeting with the them!

Although this is not a picture we sent to agents, I think her cute squishy smile is just perfect.

They make me laugh!

7:30 am still sleeping -
Ry “momma, momma”
me “what buddy?”
Ry “when I turn 16 can I have my own car?”
me “what?”
Ry “when I turn 16 will I get my own car with keys and then I can drive?”
me “ummm…if you save up a lot of money…maybe”
Ry “I already have a lot of money…in my piggy bank…can I drive where ever I want?”
me “NO!!!!”
Kids are too funny! How does that pop in his head first thing when he wakes up?

How was your 4th?

Our 4th of July was so much fun! We did the normal BBQ, swimming and fireworks show. It was so fun to watch the kids in the pool. They are getting too brave this year. Ry was swimming without a lifejacket and Kim with floaties…crazy! Here’s a few pictures.

No life jacket!!! Ahhhh!

I have this little obsession with my daughter’s hair. You can’t tell by this pictures how cute it is…but let me tell you it was so cute that tons of people asked how I did it

I have always been an only child (Doug too) and when my Mom got married to Steve I got 2 sisters and 1 brother. I have to say we do have fun together

Doing a happy dance!

We got an email from Miller’s lab last night saying that we are part of the round 4 winners for their child/baby photo contest! Now we go on to the final competition. We are so excited! We’ll keep you all posted on the results when we hear. For now we are happy to be one of the finalist!

Aki and Christie

Okay I know that I have said this before…but…do we have the most gorgeous clients ?! Aki and Christie were so much fun to photograph. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding in August. Thank you Angela for sending them our way

I love my friends!

What a funny night. Right as I am starting to make dinner I can hear someone yelling my name. My friend Michelle came by and said that her and Pam (photographer friends) had some girls in their wedding dresses across the street from my house. So I had to grab my camera and run over to play. I am so glad I did! I am thinking it’s time for a So Cal photographer play date

Yipee!!!

I got up this morning, checked my email and found a message from pink ink studio www.pinkinkstudio.net saying that I won 2nd place in the babies competition for last month!!! I won some actions from Nicole Van http://actions.nicholev.com/ and a $50 gift certificate to pink ink studio. I am so happy To see the other winners go here http://pinkinkstudios.net/newsletter-press/pinkinkpress-061508.html

when the boys are away…

The girls will play This weekend the boys went camping and the girls are having some “girl time” As soon as the guys left my two girl old girlie looked at me and said “okay lets do make-up now.” We put make-up on eachother and then I made her a dress and a matching one for her dolly. I felt proud, my sewing machine has not come out to play in a long time. Today we went out for pedicures and lunch. I love my silly girlie!

mini-me

Yesterday I took the kiddos to story time, like I always do. I found these two pictures in my wallet. One is me at around 2 years old and the other is my daughter 2 years old. I think God gave me a mini-me

edited to add a little comparison of our son and Doug. What do you think?

When we go out to play

Denise www.deniseboveephotography.blogspot.com and I thought of a great idea! We would pack up our kids walk to an open field and take pictures of eachother with our kids. Well that’s just not as easy as it sounds! It was an adventure. We both have two year old girls that had to pick up every sharp and dangerous thing they could find. After a short photoshoot we came back to my house and let the kids get back to doing what they do best…playing.
