My Crazy but Sweet Little Lovebug & Me!

When I drove home from work one day, I noticed the super tall weeds growing in the undeveloped areas of my neighborhood. Instantly, I wanted a picture with my little girl standing in the field of weeds. Before heading to iFest, we swung by the field to snap some photos. When we got there, it was just a small area that had super tall weeds. So I my "phohusbander" snap some photos at an angle to disguise the rest of the neighborhood. They turned out great!! Nice job babe! ;)

Afterwards, we got our cultural on at iFest. It was super neat to see and learn about all the different type of cultures within our community. There were some colorful lawn chairs there that I couldn't resist get a shot of Mia sitting in them. :) I have to say that it is quite difficult to get this little girl to smile while snapping at the same time. By the time I looked back into the lens to snap her smiling, she turns her head!!!

On our way back to the car, Reagan was snapping away. Mia's smile is so contagious!!

Today, Mia is 11 months old. Happy 11th Month Birthday Lovebug! Mommy loves and adores you!!!

Family Time

It's always fun to hang out with family especially when you get to eat, mingle, reminisce, and tease one another. This past weekend, we hung out with Reagan's family and celebrated our nephews' birthdays. Judah (the one on the far right and the sweetest little boy on earth) is now 6 years old and his little brother Micah (far left and the spunky one) is about to turn 4 in a couple of days!! It's crazy how time flies by so fast! To add to this, Reagan's little cousin Jason- the tan one, just had a birthday too, so we were all in birthday celebration mode. :)

San Diego Trip

We haven't been to San Diego in YEARS!! We went down South in celebration of our friends' birthdays and had a blast! I didn't want to bring my Canon Mark II bc I knew I would be tossing my camera everywhere I took my Ti1 instead. We stayed at an ocean front beach house and had a blast hanging out on the beach, playing volleyball, BBQ, getting drunk, etc. I am so grateful to have great friends who are very understanding and helpful when it came to my little Mia Hana. Boy! Did she love the beach... and the sand! I wanted to take a quick picture of her in her bathing suit before bundling her up to protect her from the sun, hence, her in a bathing suit and bunny hat! LOL! Here is my little cutie pootie.

One of my good friend, Ertha, wanted to do a quick test run to see if her fiance, our good friend-Quang, would be natural in front of the camera or be a "Chandler" from the TV sitcom Friends. What do you think?? LOL!

I was quite tipsy when I took this picture. LOL! There was a lot of noise and people in the picture that I had to crop out and the quality of the picture is really low but I couldn't help it. This is one hot moment captured still in time :)

Can't wait to visit San Diego again!

Brooklin's 8 Month Photoshoot

I got another great opportunity to work with one of Mia's BFF, Brooklin Grace. Brooklin has grown so fast within the past 8 months and has brought everlasting joy to Amanda and Patrick that they wanted to capture one of her milestone. I had such a great time hanging out with Amanda and Brooklin at Old Sac. It was really nice catching up with Amanda and sharing our motherhood horror stories. LOL! Can't wait to hang out again!

Noah- The Big ONE!

Noah is officially a year old and has grown up to become one handsome little man! As I was looking through his pictures, I couldn’t help but to smile at every single picture of him. I am just in love with his quirky little smile and silly but serious personality. Sometimes you can’t even tell his crying face from his happy face. Lol. He is just too darn cute!!

Happy Birthday Noah! It has been a pleasure capturing all of your milestones and seeing you grow up before my lens.

miss haylee jane- 1 year milestone

this weekend, i had the priviledge to capture haylee jane's one year milestone. well... actually, she is still a couple weeks shy of 1 but she is absolutely adorable and so flippin' smart!!! krisann told me it's all the mass trials of "errorless" learning she did with her. dude, i better start my ABA with little mia. hehe...
