Snow Babies!

Last year my friend Katy asked if I wanted to make pumpkin tutus with her for our daughters. I had no idea how to sew a button, let alone sew an entire tutu and craft an adorable outfit; however, with Katy’s guidance, I assembled a cute little pumpkin outfit for my daughter, Alexandra. We took our eight-month-old girls the the pumpkin patch and did a little photo session. I was quite proud of our endeavor and thrilled with the photos.

This year, we decided to continue the tradition and readied our girls for Christmas! We cheated a little and knotted our tutus, rather than sew them but in my opinion, they turned out even better. Our girls our just around the corner from two years old and have grown to just love an adore each other.

Twenty years ago I graduated from eighth grade, with Melissa Stone, at St. Jude the Apostle in Westlake Village; today, I photographed her little sister Kelly’s family, including, her boyfriend Jonathan and 9 week old Ava Melissa. It was very special to me that I was asked to capture their growing family and even more special that a portion of the session fee will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, in memory of Kelly’s sister and my classmate, Melissa.

On December 3rd, 2005 I photographed Becca and Eric’s wedding. On December 3rd, 2011 I had the amazing opportunity to photograph the entire Fitzpatrick Family, little Jeremiah included. It makes my heart feel so full to have the opportunity to be  a part of such important and amazing life milestones. Yesterday Eric left for Illinois to start boot camp for the U.S. Navy, which makes my photo session with “the Fitzes” extra special. I was chosen to capture the entire family together before Eric embarked on his new adventure and for that I will always feel honored and grateful.
