Happy Holidays!

My husband and I had an amazing year with our new addition.  From our family to yours we wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year!

 With this being my baby's first year of family photos, I know how special they are.  So glad that I got to do two sets of first baby holiday photos this year.  I could not get enough of this guy's chins and those cheeks!  Such a happy little baby!

It was such a pleasure to photograph the Trumbull family for their first family photos with their new addition.  This little one was feeling a little diva at the beginning of their shoot, but eventually settled in to the magic of the basket and a little cuddling from mom and dad. :)

It is my 100% unbiased opinion that my niece is the cutest kid in the world!  Just kidding, totally biased.  :)  Mari is the light of my family's life.  She is so funny, smart, and sassy.  Especially sassy.  I love being able to capture these moments of her growing up.  I can't believe how big she is already!

Danika + Honnalee - November 2013 {Family Photography, Avila Beach, CA}

This photo is literally the epitome of the relationship Danika and her daughter, Honnalee, have.  Honnalee is always doing silly things to make her mom laugh.  I always have a blast hanging out with these two, but it is RIDICULOUSLY hard to get either of them to make a serious face.  And that's what I love about them.  Lucky to get to photograph them for the past three years. :)

It is really special to take my sister-in-law's holiday photos this year.  This was their first photoshoot as a married couple (minus their wedding photos, of course) and it was a first look at their new house.  They have been putting a lot of work into their first home, and were really excited to share it with us.  So excited for them!

I am always excited to photograph new clients!  These littles were so sweet.  She was really shy, but knew how to turn the charm on in a picture.  He was not interested in taking family photos, but when I asked him if he wanted to take photos by himself he was all for it.  He especially liked to make his Batman face.  :)  Such a sweet family!  Hope we have the opportunity to work together again!

 My Mom also became a grandma this year to our sweet little Mari.  I thought these pics deserved their own post.  Plus the more posts of Mari the better! :)
