Jenn, Craig, Noah, and baby ?

Jenn (great college friend), Craig, and Noah Vanderstoep. Oh yeah, and baby! Jenn and Craig have made the decision to wait to find out the sex of their baby. As for me, I could never do that! I don't have that sort of patience :) They are the most amazing family. Sadly, you will never meet them because they live up in Sacramento area. But if you are ever up there, I promise you that Jenn will make you the most fabulous dinner and Craig- well you can talk to him about anything! They are just wonderful people!

Twins!

Ethan and Andrew! These boys are identical twins! And to honest, I've known these guys since they were born, but still had a hard time telling them apart. They have so much energy and are bundles of joy, drama, and laughs! We had a great time at Grape Day Park. They loved climbing the train, tracker, and wagons. My hat goes off to their parents because they have done such an awesome job raising these boys!

Jeldy Family

Meet Charlotte (girl in the adorable red dress), Krissa, and Rick! Krissa and I have been best friends for years and recently she has been my biggest fan when it comes to photography. I am blessed to watch Charlotte once a week while mommy is at work. Manoah and her have sparked a special love for one another (well lets just say that Manoah is in love with 'latte'). I had a great time taking their pictures and Charlotte was so fun to capture. She is like a porcelain doll!

j.j.j.j clark

j.j.j.j. stands for : Jeramy, Jerusha, Jocelyn, and Jasmine! Believe or not all their middle names start with an A too! We had such a good time taking these pictures. The girls were the perfect models. They would run up to a rock or a tree and just stand there and pose! They have full and viberant personalities, which makes for creative and fun pictures. The Clark's have been our friends for many years and we are so thankful for their support and love in our lives. They are such an amazing family. Check out Jerusha's books and beautiful story- i'm telling you- she's amazing!

miss Gali

Galilea. A beautiful name for a beautiful girl. I had the joy of photographing Gali and her mommy and daddy (good old friends of mine). They recently bought this quaint home in Escondido and have done a fabulous job of giving their home a face lift. Maria has perfect taste and Dan works hard as a high school English teacher. Gali has the most beautiful big brown eyes I've ever seen... precious!

This beautiful family

Meet the Nichols family. Little Hailey is 2 1/2 and full of life. She spent most of our photo session eating a pear she picked from our Pear tree. Notice her pretty curly hair (nice work Marissa). Dave works with Sam at Mission Hills Church as a high school pastor. And in the midst of their busy lives, Marissa is in school to be a dental hygienist. I love this family and hope that these pictures capture the love that have for one another.
