Sweet Baby Allie and her Big Sister Anna

Last week....I had the company of these beautiful little girls and their super sweet parents. Little Allie started off sleeping so good and then she decided she wanted to be wide awake the rest of the time. I lost natural light when the sun decided to make an entrance into my shooting zone, argh! But I was able to use some strobes instead. Little Anna had so much fun playing with my Ava. Ava had such a great time that she even mentioned Anna today. Thank you for coming all the way to Big Bear sweet family. I had a really nice time with you! xoxo

Fifty Two on Fridays {Week 19} Album Cover

This week for our Friday project we had to choose a song and create an album cover for it. Even though I knew which song I wanted to do for weeks I procrastinated until the last minute and it didn't turn out like I saw it in my head but I think it still works. LOL! This song is so sweet to me and anyone that knows us would be able to see why this fits. My husband adores me and our kids. He adores all the crazyness that makes me, me. Like when I brought home the bearded dragon and then later asked myself why in the world I did that. Or the time I brought home the bunnies because I needed props but then also thought they'd make great pets for the kids. I was wrong. He smiled. In this picture my husband is adoring all the craziness that is us. You'll see a bearded dragon on my shoulder, a bunny in my other hand, a little dog hiding in the pillows from the WILD big dog and 2 beautiful children enjoying every minute. This is us. Thank you Lord.

Here is the song to go with the cover...

Baby Jaidon {Big Bear Newborn Photographer}

Last week baby Jaidon came with Mommy and Daddy for a photoshoot. He was super sweet but he did not want to be moved. His little tummy wasn't feeling well so every time I moved him or touched him he'd stiffen up like a little board. Poor little man! I really had to get creative with camera angles and how I posed him. It worked out great and he I think he looks so peaceful. Thanks M and A for coming all the way to Big Bear! xoxo

Mommy and Me (Big Bear Lake Arrowhead Photography)

Last week I had a sweet little Mommy and Me session with M and her handsome little man. He was a pretty good sleeper until we needed just one shot of Dad and then it was sort of over. I was able to capture something cute of him and Daddy but for now I'm sharing these uber-sweet moments between a first time momma and her precious little gift. It was so nice to meet you M, M, and T!!! xoxo

Magic Light, Daffodils and Spunky Kids..... {Big Bear Lake Arrowhead Photographer}

I've had these 3 beautiful pictures on the wall of my kids for over a year. It's time to change them out. The only trouble is that getting good pictures of my 7 year old guy is nothing short of a miracle lately. He's really next to impossible. It's not that he doesn't behave he just doesn't know what I expect from him so he's very animated in his effort to please. Poor guy. Poor me. Knowing all that I took them out anyway with a bag of hope and a prayer. My little Ava is learning how to rock my camera and it's so fun. Girls are just more prone to modeling I guess. lol! Thankfully during this hour long adventure in some magical light I captured the three photos I needed to replace the ones on my wall, and also many more cherished photos of my perfect little gifts.
Happy Weekend and thank you for stopping by!

Fifty Two on Fridays {Week 17} Light

Light.

Welcome and thank you for visiting! Every Friday a group of fun photographers post a photo on the same topic. And we're doing it for the whole year, 52 weeks. It's fun to see how we all interpret each week's theme so if you would like to take the tour just click on the link below my photo for this week theme of Light.
I found this magical little forestry cabin that has very sweet light at just the right time. So today I took Ava and Connor out for a photoshoot and purposely snapped this one for the theme...I didn't even need the light behind her, she is "light" all by herself. xoxo
