Family: Lopez Family

Some of you may remember the Lopez family from the maternity session I did with them a few months ago. They came out to Santa Clarita to take some family pictures with their little girl Anjelice and little Aaden-to-be. Well now Aaden is here and what a little cutie. Lisette and Albert asked me to come to their house to take the pictures in his nursery. I was a little nervous because it was one of my first times shooting indoors but it turned out great. I made sure to get there when the pretty morning light was streaming right through his window and we were set. Poor little guy was so tired... but we couldn't get him to sleep for anything! He was far too interested in my camera. But he cooperated nicely and we had a fun time. Enjoy and happy Tuesday!

Albert is a DJ by trade so they wanted to set up Aaden with his headphones. He's starting off right I guess!

The nursery is decorated in the cutest underwater theme- lots of blues, greens, and sea creatures!

Aaden got hungry so while he was being fed, Angelice and I explored in her 'girls-only' room.

Lisette did a lot of work in the nursery including some personalized art like this one.

Portrait: Austin

Before I go into the post telling you all how great Austin is, I want to give an update on why I haven't blogged in FOREVER! Obviously the holidays are always busy, but the last few weeks have been filled with getting Christian ready to fly out to Israel. He flew out yesterday and will not be returning to the States until May 7. Your prayers are much appreciated! I hope this post will satisfy the long absence on the blog- again, so sorry! Trust me, you'll be seeing much more of me from here on out. Oh and keep an eye out because branding and a website will be coming soon- I can't wait!

Ok so enough of me going on and on. Austin is a good family friend of mine who will be graduating at the end of the year. He is one of the coolest people I know. And not cool as in too-cool-for-anyone-else cool, but a genuine cool. He has a personality that draws people to him, an awesome sense of style, and mad guitar skills. He's cool. We went out on a FREEZING December day, and the spot we picked happened to be a major wind tunnel, but like I always say, my clients are great! He didn't even blink an eye. I was complaining the whole time about how cold my toes and nose and fingers were and you would have thought it was a sunny 70 degrees with him. He was great! I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did. Sorry they are so late- happy Sunday.

Family: Rodriguez Family

The Rodriguez family is the family I am so excited and proud to be marrying in to. As my Christmas gift to them I rounded them all up (no easy feat between the three men!) and took some family photos for them. One thing that stands true about them is they love each other- and laugh a lot! It was one of my most memorable sessions because they are all so goofy and fun loving. We laughed and shivered through the entire hour. Sarah and Gary are Christian's parents. They have such an amazing relationship and have done a phenomenal job raising up two very godly men. Steven and Andrea are Christian's brother and sister-in-law. The two of them have been married for nearly five years and it has been so fun to watch their relationship grow. I love them all so much. My handsome fiance is quite the little ring leader of all of them (though I might be a bit biased!) He is forever making them laugh at his crazy antics and getting him to sit still for my camera was quite the job! He is silly and sweet and far too good to me. I love him so much. Enjoy the pictures and I hope you are able to get to know my family-to-be a little better!

Family: Colon Family

Jessica and Edison are some dear friends of mine and Christians and when they contacted me to take some family pictures for their Christmas cards I was honored. They have four beautiful children that are sweet and fun. We had a blast running all around the backyard and finding fields filled with lovely fall leaves. This post is far over due but better late than never right? I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did. Happy Monday!
