Bryce - August 2014 {Newborn Photography, Marina, CA}

 As some of you already know, my husband and I welcomed our son, Bryce, to the world on August 20, 2014.  And although he is only two weeks new, he has already brought an incredible amount of joy to our lives.

Even though we should be sleeping when he's sleeping, we can't stop looking at this sweet little face.  I look forward to sharing lots of pictures of our little one as he grows.

When I sent a picture of our first ultrasound my sister said he looked just like the caterpillar emoji and it stuck throughout my pregnancy. A wonderful friend's mom (and a very skilled crocheter) made this adorable outfit for him.

Bow ties just like his daddy. :)

Skyler + Stacee + Mariko - November 2013 {Family Photography, Avila Beach, CA}

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. :)

Shelley + Jason - November 2013 {Couples Photography, San Luis Obispo, CA}

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!

Dahl Family - November 2013 {Family Photography, Arroyo Grande, CA}

 

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!

Ken & Erin - November 2013 {Just Married, San Luis Obispo, CA}

Erin and I go way back.  Way, way, way back and I have found a way to wiggle my way into her family and stay. When she asked me to take pictures at their elopement, I said, "yes!" and then I said "oh shoot, no, I have to work".  I was really bummed.  I got the second best to being there.  A little bit of time with her and her new hubby, Ken, and some family time at their beautiful new house in San Luis Obispo.

I am so excited for them both!  Ken, I am excited to welcome you to the family that I am lucky to be a adopted member of.  :)  Congratulations! 

Mariko - July 2013 {One Year Photoshoot, Arroyo Grande, CA}

WARNING: You are about to encounter EXTREME cuteness!!!

One year ago today my sweet niece was born!  I can't believe how big babies get in such a short amount of time.  It feels like just yesterday I was holding her tiny sleeping body in my arms...and now she is walking, running, and chatting up a storm.  Happy Birthday my sweet Mariko!  Auntie Carey loves you SO much!

 This face!

You have to admit...she's one cool baby!
