Got my baby fix! Meet June. She is just so precious. She endured the heat, scratchy ole clothes and a wire basket all while in dreamland. What a little angel. Jenny and George, congrats on your new baby girl. It was a pleasure working with you guys. Enjoy :)

My recent trip to San Diego included a mini session of one of my favorite families. The Payne's. These kiddos, who are not kiddos anymore took care of my babies and are growing up right before our eyes. We had fun downtown San Diego getting some updated family shots. The Cruz's miss you guys. 

 

One of the best things about moving and starting over... making new friends. Heatherly has become one of my dearest. Her family had me rollin. These children are quite extraordinary. I asked them to write on the chalkboards one or two words that describe them in that very moment. We kept these shots from Mom and Dad as a surprise. I loved what each of them chose, even Grace's "hungry" too funny. Les and Heatherly you guys have one  dynamic, talented, creative beautiful family. 

Here are a few I did with David and Melinda's family. I am friends with his daughter Heatherly. These guys had me cracking up and feeling so welcomed in their home. When you think of family and all the things you hope it to be these guys fit the bill. Laid back, lively, kind and just plain fun. The older grandkids were exceptional helpers a.k.a. "baby whisperes" and the younger ones were troopers. Thanks for allowing me in your home to capture these for you. The full family photo is being processed now. I will update blog when it is finished. Blessings- Mimi, David, Melinda, Heatherly, Les, Elena, Chris, Christiana, Matthew, Cailin, Grace, Owen, Addie, Sam, Lincoln, Jude, Neva. Great names right?
