Oliver is one!

I can’t even begin to say how much fun I had at this session with some of my best friends in the world! I chased Oliver around as he showed off his crawling skills, his walking skills, his reading skills, his guitar skills, his nunchuck skills…okay maybe not his nunchuck skills, but you get the idea. He had just turned one and we celebrated with lots and lots of pictures :) Chris and Ruby, congratulations on making it through the first year. You two are doing a phenomenal job and O is one lucky little dude! Thanks for letting me photograph you guys. It was an honor!

I’m booking weddings!

So a couple weeks ago, I was very, very fortunate to have the opportunity to tag along with Rachel and Rico from Studio Castillero as they photographed a wedding at the San Diego Botanic Gardens in Encinitas. I was able to get a few images of my own too…see below. The bride and groom were a blast and the setting was gorgeous! I’m excited to share these, but I am even more excited to announce that I am officially booking weddings now :) The first three weddings that I book will be half price and more details can be found on my website under pricing. If you or anyone you know is interested, have them email me right away!

Paxton’s Birthday Party

Yes, it was actually three months ago, but the pictures are still just as good :) Here is some of the fun that we had celebrating Pax turning one with our family and friends!

Paxton’s cousin, Brandon, made balloon animals for the occasion. He also made swords and hats that were a huge hit.

This has to be one of my favorite images of the day. We were able to get all of Pax’s cousins together with him for a brief moment. I just love the wiggling babies held by the big kids and Paxton trying to slither away. It just sums up everything :)

Paxton had the best birthday cake ever made by the awesome folks at Twiggs. They made him his own special planet Earth cake to go along with the big rocket cake and the cupcake stars. He may look uncertain at first, but scroll down and you can tell that he was a fan!
