dear blogger,

you have been good to me. you were started as a way to keep close tabs on my long distance sister, but our relationship has evolved over the years. you've gone from a fun family medium to a mix of personal and professional postings. you've introduced me to some wonderful people. you've helped me support my family doing something i'm passionate about, and for that i'll always be grateful. that little photo business we nurtured together is in need of new digs, but please keep in touch. you can find me here!

yours truly,

chelsea b.

p.s. there might a surprise on the other end

a cute maternity session

2009-06-14T13:36:00.000-07:00

A little while ago I did photo shoot for one of my favorite clients. One of my favorite pictures came out with them. They were in town this one weekend and wanted a little photo session with their soon to be little baby.

The soon to be father is a pilot so at the end of the session we headed to Chino Airport and took a couple by some planes

Good luck with everything and can't wait to see the baby!

a biggie update

2009-06-05T15:58:00.000-07:00

I know I know! It has been awhile since I posted anything about me or my family. So the two that read this blog......here it is. And for anyone else that may read this blog I have been busy. Well maybe really busy. April and May have been the busiest months so far. I can kind of see a light at the end of the tunnel, but sometimes it keeps getting further and further away. Obviously since it is June and I'm posting about May (and this post has been sitting in the edit pile for about a week now). So enough chit chat about how busy and crazy my life is.

Landon is a volunteer firefighter for the county of Riverside and very year they put on a breakfast with all these cool fire trucks and ladders. It was nice to see my oldest boy and oldest son bond with the dreams of driving one of these trucks one day.

One neat thing they did this year was demonstrate the jaws of life and how they completely and utterly destroy a car.

Pretty neat...my boys thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Then in the first week of June my son graduated from preschool. (a fast six week course. He will go again in the fall). However, it was the cutest thing! The class wear these red caps and gowns, I just about died when I saw them walk in.

Well some changes maybe coming soon. I hope in the near future I will be launching my new blog and long (very long) awaited website. Until then..

A Swanky Beach Session

2009-05-27T14:22:00.000-07:00

Angela and Kenny hired me to take their engagements at Balboa Pier. Sunglasses and some swank made this a super fun session. It was a bit strange to shoot Mr. tall, dark and handsome rolling around in the sand with one of my young women. But Angela isn't a "young woman" anymore, she's a beautiful bride to be.

A Biggie family update coming soon....I promise!

Kacey & JJ ....... an April wedding

2009-05-19T10:22:00.000-07:00

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing Kacey and JJ's wedding. Kacey had such cute style during their engagement shoot that I'd really been looking forward to the wedding. It did not disappoint! My favorite location, a kick-back family, adorable details, and ecstatic newlyweds made for one beautiful day. Their energy was so much fun to capture- it reminded me of when Landon and I walked through those same metal doors.

To the happy couple, thank you for making me a part of your special day!

girls being girls

2009-05-05T11:57:00.000-07:00

I love having boys. They are great. Easy. And completely lovable. However, when I do photo shoots with them, there is no dressing up. Nothing....cute. Don't get me wrong I think my boys are cute, but sometimes a girl makes everything cute. So I was excited when I went out with Amber and her girls to do a little photo shoot.

Girls just have a way of making a photo look that much better

Sweet

and innocent

even angelic

One of the things that I have learn lately living with two extra kids is that I am in LOVE the with the two year old stage. I have two two year olds running around doing what they do best.....learning, laughing, exploring, talking, and above all loving. There is not a day that goes by that I don't just laugh at what Shane and Addi are doing and how they are acting. One of our favorite things to do is make faces. So at the photo shoot we decided to pull a few of them. Here are some of my favorite of Shane's and Addi's.

Girls are cute and sweet, but my boys just make me laugh.

a big leap for mom

2009-04-27T12:37:00.000-07:00

(I did not pick his lunch box.....his dad did. Thought it was the coolest. Mom not so much. As you can see Wyatt was so excited about it.)

I didn't think I could do with out crying. But somehow I did. A little shaky while I got him ready. I couldn't believe that today he would go. He was just a baby yesterday. But today a strong willed boy that is not afraid. He was ready about a year ago. I just held on as long as I could. However, today was the day that Wyatt started pre-school.

He was so excited he couldn't think straight. All weekend he said I was going to be sad and he was going to be so happy. And he was right. Sad that the school thing is now started but very happy for him to make new friends and be in school. Also very happy for me to have a little more time to myself.

Katie....just being her beautiful self

2009-04-25T17:01:00.000-07:00

Last week I was able to photograph Katie for some portraits. When I first got the call to do some senior portraits I was excited because it has been awhile since I had a chance to shot just one person. However, I was extremely ecstatic when I found out that she wanted to do some with her harp. I think I might have had more fun then she did. It was perfect! Here are just some of my favorites.

Last but not least, this is my favorite.

Katie you are so beautiful.
Thank you!

just an update...

2009-04-16T19:22:00.000-07:00

Other then being taken away by just playing the role of a mother last week, nothing new. For a few days I just "mom".

No photographer

No breadwinner

Just mom

And if felt so nice to get back to my roots.

As mentioned earlier I went to Colorado. Sadly without my husband. But other then having him without us it was great. Well, we could have gone without the blizzard we ran into on the way to the airport. But an hour of waiting on the plane at the gate before we headed to get de-iced wasn't so bad.

All in all, it was a good trip. I got to spend time with my absolute favorite sister in the whole wide world! (my only sister, but she is still the best). And I had a chance to see my new little nephew.

I also got to go sliding for the first time with my boys.

Luckily my boys didn't mind the purple boots and pink mittens. Coming from Southern California, you don't think about that kind of stuff. Nor do you have it handy.

The boys loved the snow. They could not get enough of it. At first it was funny to see Shane discover that he could the snow

But then he wouldn't stop

So he just kept on going

I never knew snow could make things look so beautiful! I loved it up there.

And I was so excited to see CJ. He was such a sweet baby.

I thought to myself....."I could totally live here. This snow thing isn't that bad. It's beautiful!"
My thoughts quickly changed when we ran into a blizzard on the way to the airport and hit black ice. All thoughts went straight to " when can I get on that plane and in to 80 degree weather in southern California". I think I will stick to visiting the snow, not living in it.

i'm growing monkey ears?

2009-04-08T20:49:00.000-07:00

So I have seen other blogs that the mom writes down the funny quotes of what their children say that day. I thought to myself.....smart.

I should do that

However, that requires me to remember what they said by the time I get to blogging it.

I got lucky tonight!

So I was just finishing off the boys bath and changing them into their PJ's when Wyatt looked up in the mirror (which is his closet doors, the length of his room) and said

"Hey! I'm growing monkey ears! That's funny".....ending it with the oddest facial expression.

So this might not be so funny to you. However, for me it cracked me up. I have always thought his ear stood out a little too much. But I was not going to say a word. I thought I would let him figure that one out on his own. At least now he thinks that pretty cool.

So goodnight my little monkey ears

for my big sis

2009-04-01T21:00:00.000-07:00

just a little sneak peek for my sister. He is a cutie!

if this doesn't put a smile on your face

2009-04-01T20:28:00.000-07:00

i don't know what would.

After a day of unpacking, cleaning, and just trying to get your day straight, something like this is nice.
There is nothing else better then coming to a dinner table with a princess. With necklaces, sunglasses (upside down may I add) and a gorgeous dress to top it off.

I took one look and knew I had to get this on camera for mom.

I love my two new little roommates. I get to see an insight of things if I were to have a girl.

just another day......

2009-03-21T22:39:00.001-07:00

with my dearest friend Marisa. One who brings such sanity to this crazy world of mine. One who I need to talk to at least once a day and would love to see more then once a week. So what better way of taking my weekly dose then going to the fields with the kids and capturing what they do best. Being themselves. Call it a day at the beach......Chelsea's beach.

Gotta love the difference between the boys and girls and what they collect. Or maybe the difference between Marisa's kids and mine. Mia brings a hand full of snails and Wyatt collects wild flowers for me. It was awesome.

My absolute favorite picture of the day

Then the second is this. You can't help but smile or laugh when you see this. This way I love Marisa so much! So now you see why I have a new header.....thank you Marisa

Oh how I love my boys

We could not leave without taking a group shot. In a nutshell, this is the gang. One that I wish I hung out more often.

I think the kids were a little too excited to be done...maybe a Wyatt a little more then the rest

your turn colorado

2009-03-15T13:11:00.000-07:00

I'm heading up your way. I'm going for only a weekend, March 28th, wish it was longer. But I will be doing mini-photo sessions. If your interested email me at chelsea@chelseabiggsphotography.com

and now it's my turn......

2009-03-03T13:59:00.000-08:00

for family pictures. It's a love hate relationship that I have with family pictures. I love taking other families pictures, but hate taking mine. However, I want them so badly. And I love the out come of them too.

So now we have them!

Lydia was so kind enough to take them. And to deal with my awkwardness. (You would think I would know what to do with myself because I tell other people how to stand. It's like I become a dummy when it's my turn. Maybe I have a little stage fright).
We have a little trade thing going on that I love. And she did a such great job capturing what I had envisioned. And I thank her for it. So here's just a few of my favorites. You can see more on her blog as well.

The picture below is my favorite!

So just a little sad story to tell you. While Landon and I were taking some couple shoots, Wyatt thinks that it would be really cool to climb up on the window. The moment we saw him up there we told him to get down. We assumed that he would just climb back down.

No!

He chose to do a belly floop down, landing on his chest and face.

So the picture below is of his slipt lip. It looks like nothing in the picture though. He had one fat lip. However, I love the picture still!

nine years ago.....

2009-02-25T13:42:00.000-08:00

to this day I met my best friend, my husband.
Now the only reason I know that it was Feb. 25Th was because it is printed on the picture. We met on a blind date. My friends mom and Jayne McCook were on a chat room and planned a blind date for their kids. They thought they would add a twist and have four of their friend come along. Well I happen to be one of the girls from Corona to go on this date.
I remember thinking.....how are we going to do this?, What if we all like one guy from the group? How do we pair up or know if any are going to be good looking?
We were so nervous that night....at least I was.
And we were rolling high that night too. We started out at Chuck E Cheese.
So the girls got there first. And we watched like a hawk to see when they were coming. (Oh the good old days of the excitement of boys)
As we saw them approach I noticed that one of them had this full on Amish looking beard. Believe it or not that is what attracted me to him. At the age of 18 this guys could grow a full on beard. I love facial hair.
And it sound so cliche, but we have been together since.

Wow we look so young!

Right after high school I moved to Hawaii and opened up a Halloween Store. One in Oahu and the other on the big island. I had this dream of mine to go to Hawaii. I didn't care how or when I was going to Hawaii. Who would of thought that it was to open a Halloween store. So before Landon left on his mission I left for Hawaii. I missed him so much! However, Landon has always seemed to surprise me in some way. So when my mom came out to Hawaii to see me, Landon just happened to be on the plane as well. I had no idea. So we had an amazing two weeks together in Hawaii before his mission. We might have worked a lot. But we had this favorite beach together, and one of these days we will go back.

So here is a little fake happy anniversary to us!

a belated valentines post

2009-02-19T13:01:00.000-08:00

My husband has learned a little sad truth about me. I say one thing, but completely mean something different.
I say "no you don't have to buy me that".....what I really mean is : "you don't have buy me that, but I would LIKE it".
So I say "don't buy me flowers". But what I'm thinking is that: "flowers would be really nice".

So after 5 1/2 years of marriage I got flowers for valentines day. I love my sweet heart!

(We really don't celebrate valentines day. We actually trade with me sister-n-law. They go out on a date on valentines day and we watch their kids. Then on Feb. 25th she watches our kids while we go out. Now you ask why Feb 25th? Well that is the lucky day that changed my life forever......about 9years ago. The day I meet Landon on a blind date.
So instead of fitting crowds of people, we spend it with the kids. I like it that way. And this year we had 9 KIDS this valentines. If we have 5, what is four more kids, right? And actually it was a lot fun being with them.)
So I don't have any pictures of the 9 kids I had all day, but I do have some shoots of the flowers that my love gave to me.

Flowers make great subjects. They stay put and don't move. I like this getting flower thing.....

oh so in love

2009-02-17T15:10:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking Kacey and JJ's engagements pictures. What a cute couple. Even though Kacey had booked me for their wedding a while ago, I didn't meet her in person until the day of the shoot. And what a cute couple they are! Here are just a few of my favorites. And it was too hard to decide, there were too many of my favorites.

I had to take a shot of the ring. It is absolutley gorgeous and massively huge!

Love it!

The Ginn Family

2009-02-10T14:53:00.001-08:00

About a month or so ago the Ginn family asked if I would take their family pictures. All the kids and grandchildren will be in southern California for a baby blessing and wanted to take some pictures. I was so happy to do so. They are the sweetest family....all of them! And if anyone wants some really good teriyaki steak, go to the Ginns. Dave makes the best! Here are just a few of my favorites.

Thanks again!

only on rainy days

2009-02-10T14:25:00.000-08:00

What else do you do on a rainy day?

Some rainboots and a little rain = an afternoon full of smiles

a little rain +some dirt = mud

mud + little boys = a really fun time

little boys + really fun time (usually) = a really big mess

I grew up with a mom that whenever it rained, we raced outside and played in the puddles.

I hope my boys do the same with their children. Rainy days inside are no fun

So I just had to put this picture of this cool pot on the blog. My talented husband made that for me. Good job love!

Oh how I love rainy days! Hope to see you soon!

the last wedding of 2008

2009-02-05T22:27:00.000-08:00

I finally feel I am back to normal. Or should say my working life. I was put on hold because of my dying computer. So after searching and searching I found one that I like. Still getting used to it. I now feel that I was totally in the dark ages with my old beast. But I am back and up and running.....hopefully.

A couple months back I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Joshua and Brittany Childs. They were such a cute couple. And Brittany was such a beautiful bride! The whole family was such a delight to be around. Landon and I really enjoyed working with them.

I absolutely feel in love with this picture. I pure grandparent moment indulged in their grandchild.

waking up to this

2009-01-31T16:33:00.000-08:00

Can life get any better then waking up to this?

the sweet innocence of you, the curiosity.......

the rays of light that you bring to my day

Thanks for being my sunshine in the morning.

a long time coming.....it has opened

2009-01-20T21:42:00.000-08:00

After many years it is has finally opened it's doors to the public.

After many days (and years) of construction, it has finally opened it's doors.

After a son returning from a mission, getting married, another son entering the army, going to Iraq, that son getting married and three more grandchildren later, it has finally opened its doors. After countless Sunday dinners and family functions, it has finally opened it's doors.

After many permits after permits and wishing we could pop the heads off the people down in Chino City Hall, it has finally opened it's doors.

After countless questions of when is it going to open, it has finally opened.

After many restless nights on what to put on the menu, it has finally opened.

The Avocado House is now open for business!!!

For many who don't live in the great city of Chino, and don't know what the heck the Avocado House is, it is my mother-n-laws restaurant. Anyone and everyone who has been to a few weddings that she has catered, knows that my mother-n-law can cook. And finally today was the day that it opened for business.

So if you happen to be in Chino, stop on by and have yourself and a nice lunch. I'm sure she would enjoy your company!

For now she is open for breakfast and lunch only. She will be open for take out dinner in a few months.

so last year....

2009-01-13T13:21:00.000-08:00

A little late is always better then never. Well that's me, always late (just not to dinner). So I had all the intentions of doing a nice sweet Christmas blog with a little of my totally last minute rocken new years eve party. Well life happens....and I didn't. Then on top of all that my computer is in the middle of mid-life crisis and just about to be chucked out. So what your about to see is half edited pictures and half not edited pictures. sorry, but that's life. I just know Marisa is dying to see these pictures. so here I am posting on my computers last leg of life, while I wait to for my new computer.

So this is the start. I had to put this one in. The day care that my grandma goes to had a Christmas program with Santa. Of course my boys freaked out so I don't have one of them, but my grandma just got a kick out it sitting next to Santa. Amazing how the little things make her happy. I love my grandma! Now a days this smile doesn't come around often so I'm so glad I got to capture it.

So my Christmas started with making cookies for Santa on Christmas eve. And nothing says cookies without a little flour.....all over

By far this picture and this reaction did it for me this christmas. Santa brought what Wyatt wanted so bad. A plane with a train. Translation: the geo-trax set that has the plane. I'm so glad Santa brought that too. That thing is dang cool. I'm totally hooked on it. I (me) play with that thing at least once a day. I can't wait for the boys birthdays......they might be getting another addition to geo-trax. I am excited

The best with Wyatt and his helmet and knee pads, is that he calls them his skills. Both Landon and I looked at each other when he said that and just laughed. Still calls them his skills.

So this picture is pretty funny. That isn't Shane being excited about the remote control car. That is Shane completly freaking out about the remote control car. Once we started he bolted to the couch. Sad, yes, funny oh yeah.

So this is when the fun started. New Years Eve about 9-10:00pm when all the kids are asleep and the adults bring out the Wii. I am not a video game playing person, but boy that thing is fun. Too bad it's not mine.

This picture captured by Marisa. Good Job! Love it! Like my empty picture frames in the background. I am in the process of putting pictures in them.

The hottest ladies there. (give us a break, it was about 1:30am by this time)

And our sweet one year anniversary picture.

All in all, it was great Christmas. I loved it. Sad it is all over, well there is always next year....only 11 months to go

12-30-08 Wedding

2009-01-09T08:22:00.000-08:00

Just a little sneak peek to the last wedding of the year!
My favorite part of the wedding is when they walk out hand in hand for the first time as husband and wife.
The way they look at each other
We get to see just speck of what they feel
(it reminds me of my special moment with my groom....my favorite moment)

the katz family

2009-01-06T16:56:00.000-08:00

So I know that I haven't posted much about me lately. Well, I haven't had much time to myself lately. Not with two photo shoots and a wedding within the week of Christmas and New Years. So I promise that I will post my christmas and the famous New Years party pictures that Marisa and Lydia are so dying to see. Soon....I hope.

So the other weekend I had the chance to photograph this cute family. A family that I just adore. And the dad just so happens to be the doctor that put my moms foot together. Lots of thanks to him!
And the little girls......so sweet and cute!

the salmon family

2009-01-02T13:46:00.000-08:00

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking the Salmon's family pictures. It was so much fun being around so many people and taking their pictures. The kids did so well considering that it was freezing at the beach. Here are just a few of my favorites.

spending time with our personal santa

2008-12-23T12:58:00.000-08:00

For the past four years around this time of year Landon is gone quit a bit. Doing what you say? Well, he's Santa. At least for West Riverside County he is. Every year for almost the month of December is helps the Riverside Fire deparment gather food and toys for the families that are need of their help. Then he and other fire fighers deliver it to them.

This year was our first year that the boys and I came along. We had first row seats. (actually it was the back seat of the fire truck, but you get the hint). The boys had a blast! (so did mom). First they got to ride in the truck with fire fighters with the lights and sirens going, as well as knowing that their dad knows Santa well enough that he got to help the big guy out! You see Santa Clause himself called up Landon to ask him to help him out in this time of need. He even sent his suit for him to wear. So the boys were very impressed.

What was so amazing is that there were so many volunteer fire fighers helping out. It was a line just to get inside the house to deliver the packages.

Wyatt did so good with calling Landon Santa Clause and not dad. He actually was Santa's special helper a couple of times. And in between that, he chatted it up with the fire fighters

or goofed off with them. One or the other.

(just so you know this shoot was taken while holding Shane....I know, not so good)

Some of the fire fighters loved having the boys there with them. They would just take them under their wing. It was awesome

I would have to say that doing this really brought the Christmas Spirit. I wasn't to happy with doing this only because I knew Landon couldn't help me with the boys. We visited 15 families last night and that means getting the boys in and out of the carseats 15 times. Plus we were out till 10:30pm at night. So I just nervous about it. However, by the time we got to that first door, I knew I was so glad to have come. All I did was witness it. I didn't put time in organzing it, or volunteering my time (well it was my husband's time) but I didn't do much but watch. And it was the most wonderful feeling I had in a long time. To be able to see the happiness in the children's eyes was so moving. And to watch my boys give the presents to them was so heart warming. I really had to fight back some tears last night. It really put things in to perspective for me.

There was one other reason I was filled with joy last night. One that brought such happiness to my sense's. My husband had to wear a belly with the outfit. A pretty big belly. A belly that is almost the size I am when I'm pregnant. (if you haven't seen me pregnant....I'm HUGE!! I know I am. What do you expect when I deliver 9lb babies)
So when Landon was getting dressed and he was complaining about it, I just had the biggest most satisyfing smile on my face. I don't know what else could bring more joy to me. And when he asked me to help him put on his shoe.....oh the enjoyment I felt. I laughed. Then I said "ok next time I'm pregnant, don't laugh at me anymore when I ask you to help me put on my shoes"

And yes I did kiss Santa Clause last night!

shootin it with the suggs

2008-12-21T13:48:00.000-08:00

So if you read this blog, you'll know that I have this amazing friend Marisa:

(she is going to kill me for posting this picture. But I love it and I think she looks beautiful in it).

Well she had this idea for a picture that she wanted for a christmas card. She said "you just have to shoot one picture. I know exactly what I want, just one picture!" She sit it up and I just pushed the shutter. And it came out beautiful!

However, I couldn't go to a location with brick, three kids dressed to the tee and being happy, have perfect lighting, and just take one photo. No way! Too many pros on my side for a good photo shoot. (I think she knew that too). Well I'm glad because heres some cute-tees for ya

So heres a picture that has everything wrong in it. It's blurred for one, and the head is cropped off, but I LOVE it!! I was kind of playing tag with Miley when I shot it.

So heres my favorite picture. You couldn't have asked for anything more from three kids and smiling faces

12-13-2008 sneak peak

2008-12-16T19:56:00.000-08:00

Just a sneak peak of a family photo shoot (a couple of families) that I did last weekend.

Well after 2 1/2 months of taking care of my mom and grandma I get to enjoy a little break. A 10 day break!

I can only count the things to get done:

put up the christmas tree

hang the lights

christmas shopping!!

CLEAN!

work on pictures

be a mom, just mom (no care giver)

that's what I'm a excited to do....be a mom again

(I might even blog more )oooohhh

the many faces of a prince

2008-12-09T13:35:00.000-08:00

So if you haven't noticed yet, I've been a little busy with holiday photo sessions. But I love them!
It's a time the family can be together
Capture the fun and love

And I love this family! They are always so happy and optimistic. And Heidi, oh my, how I love that women. She's a crack up!

One of my many reasons why I love this family is that they have thee most beautiful eyes. All of them! Not just one or two, but all of them! That is a photographers dream. Thanks you guys!

These two shoots are my favorite. Can't decide. Girls, you are stunning!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season

the clausen family

2008-12-07T19:27:00.000-08:00

A couple weekends ago I had the opportunity to photograph the Clausen family. They were such a cute and active family.

So this kid cracked me up! Landon and I both agree that he is totally an older Wyatt

Thanks again Clausen family!

my little thanksgiving tree

2008-11-27T09:08:00.000-08:00

So I have this amazing friend Marisa that is so creative and cute. I went to her house a little awhile ago and she asked me if I wanted make some leaves for a little grateful tree.

It was the cutest idea ever!

However, it wasn't until last night that we were able to do it as a family. It was the cutest thing ever! Wyatt was very cute being thankful for his power rangers and his house in Chino and bed in Chino. (Kind of sad since were at my moms in Orange)

I'm thankful for my friend who came up with this idea, my friend who is so kind and has been my sanity with this all. My friend who sets examples for me.

I'm grateful for my priceless moments with my family. Who bring such great joy to my life.

For my boys that bring endless laughter to my life, that brightens my day

I'm grateful to be alive and for the life I live.

christmas is coming

2008-11-25T11:58:00.000-08:00

And my schedule is getting booked. So if you want to book an appointment, do so soon! I don't want you to go without Christmas pictures. Email me at chelsea@chelseabiggsphotography.com to book.

The Roberts

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to photograph another cute family. The easy part was that the girls are all in dance and so they know how to pose. It was actually pretty funny and way too easy for me. They kept me laughing!

i know it's alittle late

2008-11-12T15:03:00.000-08:00

but that has been the story of my life. So better late then never.

But I loved Halloween this year! My boys were the cutest buzzlight year and red power ranger ever. Just have look for yourself!

I love that Shane has to do whatever Wyatt does

what's new?

2008-11-06T19:00:00.000-08:00

Well nothings new. Nothing has changed since before. Other then I'm starting to get used to it. Some how that is a sad thing. But I know that I am needed and that's what keeps me going. And some how my kids are getting used to it too.

Out of nowhere I have received a bucket full of patience that I never knew I had. I wish I practiced it with my mine children before this. But that never is the case. I just hope that I can keep it up when we return home.

Well I am a little late on this post. And I apologize. As mentioned in my last post, I had a photo shoot with Ryan and Taryn. Here are some more pictures of them.

i am alive

2008-10-23T14:02:00.000-07:00

Even though I don't feel like I am....I am. I've been taking care of my mother (who broke her foot and then four days later broke her arm) and my grandmother (who has Alzheimer). And then on top of that I am trying to be good mother, who at this moment doesn't feel like it. Oh yeah I also play a role of a wife. So in a nutshell I have been a little crazy.

I was able to get away ( I say get away because I've been staying at my mom's this whole time and will continue to do so for at least the next 3-8 weeks). As I was saying that I was able to get away for a few hours and go home. And what do I do when I go home......clean. Oh yah.....work on some photos. Which came out so great. Last weekend I was able to do a photo shoot with Ryan and Taryn McCook. Their little boy is so cute. I just love his big cheeks. Here is just a little sneak peak of them because I still have some to come.

keeping up with the jones

2008-10-18T14:19:00.001-07:00

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking the Jones family pictures. Their little boys are so cute! Amber wanted something urban, so we headed to down town Pomona. You gotta love the destressed looked.

What cuties!!

I love this shoot.

and my favorite shoot of the day!

Thanks again Amber! You guys did great!

were back....from seattle

2008-10-12T21:14:00.000-07:00

I'm so sad that our trip is over. I had such a blast. There is no better therapy then a trip away from your day to day life. I'm still on a little happy high. It's what I needed.

Well this is our first picture taken (my me) in front of the Seattle Temple. Isn't great that I put ourselfs to be in front of the temple so you can see that we are at the temple. Yah, good one Chelsea.

We pretty much spent all day there. So on Saturday we went to ........

That's right Pikes Market and I LOVED it!

Ok this picture is funny. Two reasons. One were totally out of focus. 2nd you see Landon and I looking down at the fish's tail. Well that's because just as we were about to take the picture some homeless guy walks up to us and trys to be in our picture. So that is my "what the heck are you doing, were trying to take a picture here and don't touch the fish" smile.

Oh so sexy!

One of my favorite things that we did at the market was eat EVERYTHING!! So this is at some pastry place that was to die for.

So proud of my husband. I have to give credit to him on this picture. He took it (under my instructions). I like so much I think I want to blow it up and hang it in my kitchen.

So here we are in front of the first Starbucks store. If you read carefully you can see it written on the window. Why I took I picture here, I don't know. It's not like I drink coffee. However, they have some mean hot chocolate there.

I'm so proud of my sister-n-law, she's special. That's how she takes pictures.

And thats all of us...minus the parents

So after the market we headed down to the Space Needle. Were so cheap we had Scott take our picture in front of this backdrop with my camera so we didn't have to buy the one they make you pay for. However, it would have been nicer if we looked at the camera.

It was so cold up there and windy

And this was the great mormon van we drove all over seattle in. I'm so scared that that is my future car.

And then we headed to the Crab Pot.

Whats so cool is that whatever you order they come and dump it on the table. No plate. Just a wood block and a hammer to crack open your crab. It was pretty good.

Believe it or not I even squeezed in a photo shoot

I just have to say that I really have the best in-laws around. They may be a little on the crazy side, but thats what makes them so lovable. I had a blast you guys, thanks!

a little sneak peak

2008-09-30T13:41:00.000-07:00

Just a little sneak peak of a photo session I did last weekend.

Well, I'm off to Seattle! My brother-n-law and his wife are getting sealed in the temple and the whole family (minus the all the kids) are going. So I should just say just the adults are going. It will be a really nice weekend.....NO KIDS!!! Landon and I have been looking forward to this for awhile!

Have a wonderful weekend!

just the two of us

2008-09-30T11:54:00.000-07:00

Sunday afternoon Wyatt went on a little road trip with grammie (grandma biggs) to Lake Havasu. How lucky is that? Landon and I are kind of jealous. However, Wyatt was so excited. So excited that that night when we called to check on them he wouldn't come to the phone at first, but then he finally did and this was the conversation between landon and wyatt:
L: Hey bubs! How are you doing
W: Good i'm playing right now I love you bye bye.

Yep thats it. And that is all we have heard from him since Sunday night. It's kind of nice to know that he isn't crying for me too much, but at the same time...sad.

However, on bright side to this I have one on one time with my little fatty Shane.

It's been nice with one child. But I am looking forward when Wyatt comes home today.

just some cute little kids

2008-09-23T14:14:00.000-07:00

Last week i did a photo shoot with four kids under the age of 3. These kids (especially the two older girls) were so cute and such a joy to photograph. I haven't photograph just kids (other than my own) for a while and it felt good to get back to it.

thanks again you guys! the kids did great.

trisha & russ

2008-09-12T15:13:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of capturing Trisha and Russ. They were moving back up to Utah and wanted some shoots down by the beach before they left. They did great! And they looked great too. They were so natural in front of the camera and so easy to work with. Thanks again you guys.

So I could use a little help from you. I'm trying a new watermark on pictures and I can't decide on which one I want. So maybe some opinions can help me. For sake of less confusion I will call the first one #1 and the second #2. Hope I didn't lose you there.

So the picture here has watermark #1

And the second picture has #2

#1

#2

#1

And so you get the point.

Ok how rad is this couple. I told you they were awesome. While they were making out in the sand and letting the water come up on them so I could get some incredible shoots, we had a couple on lookers. It was great

Thanks again you guys!

a sneak peek

2008-09-06T22:18:00.000-07:00

So tonight I did I photo shoot that I am so excited for. Just a sneak peek. More to come later

sick???

2008-09-06T15:34:00.000-07:00

Can you say "sick". Yep my boys are sick and I get to do this three times a day for the next 10 days. And I thought it was just a little cold. Oh well, you live and learn.

It's almost like cleaning bottles again. I just hope they start feeling better soon!

a really nice car for sale

2008-09-04T17:47:00.000-07:00

So I have debated on putting this on my blog. At first I thought "how cheesy". Then I thought free advertising, and hey why not!

I have a car for sale.

I really nice car for sale. And if it won't for my husband going to school full time and living on a student salary (which equals nothing) I need to sale a really nice car. And why not put this out to all my friends and family. Yes, I feel that comfortable with this car to sale it to one of you.

So it's a 2006 Toyota Corolla LE. And it runs great!!! Here are some pictures of this beautiful car that you know you want.

Did I tell you that it has tinted windows and alloy wheels.....no? Well it does!

Did I mention that it has GREAT gas milage? We all know we need our MPG!! And this is the car for you to get great gas milage. We all need great gas milage

This car has never been an accident. You can take that one to the bank. Or carfax for that matter.

Oh WOW that is nice inside.

Now you know you see yourself behind this wheel. Yeah you know you want it.

Well, if you personally don't need a car, don't forget your friends and family. If you or someone you know that is interested please contact me for more information through email: lcwbiggs@verizon.net. I would be more than happy to give that information. Sorry about the post about a car.

my dearest shane

2008-09-03T17:07:00.000-07:00

i love my special little boy. i love watching him want to be older like his brother. whatever wyatt does, so does shane.

what to say???

2008-08-26T21:22:00.000-07:00

So I often wonder what to say (or write) on this blog.

Usually I don't say much at all.

I just say something small about some pictures and then let my pictures say the rest.

I haven't had anything going on lately other then having cousins stay with us, Dallen coming home from Iraq, Landon's uncle staying with us, trying to keep the house clean, having a broken dryer, having your husband go down to part time and going to school full time, as well and being sicker then no other and going to urgent care. Ya, you know just your daily stuff going on.

And somewhere all through that I think about what in the world do I put on my blog. Like it's some important thing I have to do. I guess I get a little envy-ess when I look at others and they post like everyday (Marisa) and I don't have time to do my dishes. When in the world did blogging become so important in my life.

So this is what I have thought up to write about......with no pictures

I cannot believe that the Lord put my in charge of two beautiful boys and wants me to raise them. A little overwhelmed. But how lucky am I. I get to be with these boys for the rest of my life. (I'll include my husband in that one).

I love watching them think through stuff. I love seeing them act so sweetly and say "Your the best mom ever." (that is actually quoted by Wyatt).

Tonight when I was making dinner, it actually went smoothly. (Usually there is me yelling, a kid screaming and the other thinking he is in some rock band playing the drums). Tonight we were laughing, dancing and they were happy. Wow!!! And I get to start traditions, and sing silly songs with them, put up forts, and most importantly have our licking wars. And I get start all that. It's my turn to play house and make the rules.

And I get to do it with the cutest three boys ever.

How lucky am I

I've been so stressed lately and worried about things that I forgot to stop and enjoy what I do have. And once I did that, things kind of were put back in place.

pat and brittany markarian 08-08-08

2008-08-17T19:21:00.000-07:00

Pat and Brittany are finally married!!! I had such a fun time shooting their wedding. It was the first time Lydia I worked together on a wedding and I thought it went really well. I really enjoyed this wedding. The wedding party was great! The bride and groom....wonderful. Little did I know that on Friday (the day of the wedding) it was 08-08-08. It didn't come together until I got to the San Diego Temple and I was told that there was 28 weddings. If anyone of you know about or have seen the San Diego Temple (it's gorgeous)but not alot of picture spots. However, it all came together and it was beautiful!

Pat had written Brittany a letter to her and had someone give it to her while she was getting ready. It was so cute.

My favorite shoot of the night

just a sneak peek

2008-08-15T11:30:00.000-07:00

i do have the cutest boys

2008-08-12T13:59:00.000-07:00

So this blog is for my enjoyment purposes. And if other people like it, great. So if I offend someone's feelings, sorry!

But I have the cutest boys ever!!!!

Today, as I am about to put Shane down for his nap, Wyatt comes and gives Shane his daily nap hugs. Well they kept hugging and then Wyatt says "Were so cute, Mom take a picture". Me capturing that moment....made my day!

I love these boys. I just wish they can stay like this forever.

the end of the saga

2008-08-06T13:26:00.000-07:00

I really hate it when I have nothing to post. I've been away for a week and just like my life, I have nothing exciting to share. Expect that I finished the fourth book of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, and "Wow". It was different, it was good.......and I guess that's how the love story is going to go. I have really enjoyed this ride that I went on with them. Yes.....kind of sad that it is over. But at the same time I really need to get back to reality: cleaning my house, paying attention to my children and husband and dealing with life. It was a nice escape for me to go to, somewhere where I didn't have to deal with life. But now I know what happened to them (like they are real people....listen to me)

And I really hate it when I post something and don't have a picture or pictures. So the other day I realized that I haven't posted some pictures of my friend Amber and her girls. It was way back in May I think when I did these. I was just playing around with them so thought I would share. Mia (Amber's oldest) is Wyatt's age (three days apart) and they are so cute together! The other day we saw them hugging and saying that they loved each other forever. OK how cute is that! That would be rad if they got married when they got older. Which would be really funny because Amber is the real reason I meet Landon (I went on a group blind date with her and that's where I meet him) Now if I could only return the favor. :)

Of course, while I was down there I had to take a picture of the view

oh how i love water

2008-07-25T10:22:00.000-07:00

There seems to be some hidden ingredient to water. Something that I need to bottle up and keep so that I can give it to my kids when were out and about.

They seem to act ......cute, and fun. And they are happy. There's no tantrums, no talking back when playing in water. I would really love to get that secret ingredient.

They are just cute!

So in high school my favorite movie was "Tommy Boy". I would quote that movie all the time. So when I looked at this picture below I just started to laugh. So there's this part in the movie that Tommy boy is walking past a pool and see's this pretty girl and he totally sucks in his huge gut and says "So do you know where the gym is at?" I know my sister will be the only one to laugh with me on this on, but my Shane is totally a Tommy Boy. He is such a little fatty and to see him suck in like that was just too funny for me.

not again.....

2008-07-19T22:50:00.001-07:00

Yes, it happened again! I have neglected my children, my husband, my house and ......life. I have been lost in a book (make that 3 books) again. I'm pretty sure you could guess which ones they are.

Twilight.

Explains it all.

All three of them.......in 5 days.

So you can say I'm ready for Aug. 2 (for anyone who has not read the books, that is the release of the forth book)

And I'm pretty sure my kids will look like rug rats, my house will be a mess and my husband....who?

I do enjoy a good book.

Just a little sad that Host wasn't as good.

the davies family

2008-06-23T16:08:00.001-07:00

Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking the Davies family pictures. I had meet Laura about five years ago (the one on the very right with blonde hair) when I was working at an eye doctors office. You can say we had a lot of good laughs. I can't believe it's been that long ago. Well she called me up and wanted her family pictures taken.

What I love about taking peoples, and family pictures is watching them. Watching them react to each other, watching them laugh, watching them be with each other. I feel I get to be fly on the wall for a few moments. And with this family I could feel peace. I left that photo session (other then in a rush for other events that happen on a saturday) with such a nice feeling. I had such a fun time, thank you!

So this picture was my favorite of the day. I love it when a picture speaks to me. And this one does. To me it says, love, laughter, trails, charity, and companionship. They just look happy! I hope that Landon I can one day have our family pictures taken with all our kids and grandchildren and be as happy as they are.

Ok, isn't she the cutest little blonde hair, blue eyed girl ever.

So here is the grandparents and all the grandkids. However, what I wished I got was a picture of all the parents behind me to get the kids attention. The things we do to make children laugh.

So after we did the whole family Laura wanted a couple a just her family. I tried really hard to focus on Laura and the kids, because as a mom (and photographer) I never have pictures of me and the kids.

I love this one of Laura and her little girl

Can't go without the pictures of Dad and son.

Thanks again Davies Family for letting me capture your family pictures!

holy zucchini

2008-06-18T12:15:00.000-07:00

One of the daily routines that we have is that when Landon comes home he goes out to the garden with the boys and checks out what might have grown. Just the other day I was cooking dinner and knew the boys were out there looking at the garden. I had thought to myself "they are not going to bring anything in" for I have already went out there to see if I needed to pick anything. There was nothing to my eye. Well I was mistaken and need to get my eyes checked. Look at this thing, its hugh! I'm sure that there is already the biggest zucchini in the world record. But what gets me is that I didn't see it.

So this is my messy kitchen and died flowers that I need to throw away. But I also didn't see any of these cucumbers either. So this picture down below will show you the size difference of a regular cucumber next to this monster of a zucchini. Oh honey, I am making zucchini bread tonight!

And now my sunflowers are finally blooming. However, they are of really weird forms of circles. They are not perfectly round. Which makes it hard to make a nice picture of them. Anyways, this is the nicest one I found. The sunflower isn't my favorite flower, but it adds a nice touch to my backyard and a feel for summer. Anyone living in California will know we are in summer right now. Wow it's been hot!

an afternoon treat

2008-05-29T16:20:00.000-07:00

So I might have had a sweet tooth when I thought of making brownies. However they are Zucchini brownies....from my garden. My I also add that they are made with pure Grape Seed oil. However, with all the sugar, chocolate and other yummy stuff in it, it just threw that out the window. Meanwhile Wyatt sure enjoyed it.

You know if your a good mom if your son says "Your a good cooker mom, thanks so much!!! i just love it!" I think I have succeed in life.

And yes, this is my master piece which made me, myself and my son very happy this afternoon. Did you notice the fork there. Yep no plate need, the fork will do just fine.

Note: by the time I wrote this that little square grew. I did have plenty of help by a three year old.

spaghetti + fudge pops= this

2008-05-29T08:42:00.000-07:00

I always stray from having a big mess with food. But last night was inevitable. So I let go and let Shane enjoy his dinner however he wanted. Since he was already a mess I thought to my self "why not dessert as well". And he couldn't have been happier. He was so cute I couldn't resist and I took pictures.

And then it was bath time!!!

a graduating senior

2008-05-17T22:30:00.000-07:00

On Friday afternoon I had the chance to take Bree's senior pictures. Because of time and scheduling we ended up just going to my n-laws restaurant (which will be opening up in September). Their property was the PERFECT place to do her senior pictures. I am lovin the light around 5:30-6:00pm. I was so excited to do Bree's pictures because one, she is gorerous and two she's one of my favorite laurels. (if your wondering what that is, pop me an email and I will explain)

Bree was doing such a great job that we kept on shooting and shooting more and more pictures. One of the hardest jobs of being the photographer is all the post-work of pictures. The hardest thing for me with this shoot was that I LOVED them ALL!!! Bree you did an amazing job. You made my life so much easier. So here are just a few of my favorites. There are just too many to choose from.

So this one below, for some reason I just love. Sometimes in the shoot I will do something different to just....spice things up a bit. Sometimes they are great, others I make a mental note not to do that again. Such the opposite with this one (at least for my taste, sorry if you may not like it). Just something out of the ordinary......I love it. I love it alot.

Ok can we say "Gorgeous!!!" Now that one I'm love'n

Once again out of the ordinary. May not be the one that they are going to hang in the house, but maybe to a future boyfriend (just kidding, I don't know) But I still really like it.

At my n-law's property, they have a couple of sheds...storage units you would say, that are a burnt reddish color, which I just LOVE. (Just a little side note: the house and units were built in 1985 and was used as chicken coupes) So there is an old, texturey feel I get when I shoot there. I love the wheel and door in these pictures, they add a little something.

Bree you did a great job and you look fantastic!!!

having fun with the Hathaways

2008-05-13T08:56:00.000-07:00

This weekend I had the pleasure of taking the Hathaways family pictures. Laura Hathaway is in my ward and asked if I would take them and I was delighted to do so. Then she told me that there were going to 25 people. "Wow" is what I thought. I have done a much bigger group before, but it has been so long ago. However, I thought it went really well. I really enjoyed taking their pictures, and it was really easy working with them. They were such enjoyable family to work with.

This is Laura and her cute little family. Kourtney and Wyatt are in the same age group for nursery. She is the cutest little girl ever. And Laura don't worry, there is another great shot of your family, but I just loved the expression on Kourtney's face here.

And here are the two that started this great family.

All the kids did GREAT!!! I don't think I have had such an easy group of kids

I love pictures of sisters. And this one just melts my heart. Maybe I'm that way because of me and my sister.

This little girl Madison was so cute. She always gave the cutest facial expressions.

And by the end of the photo shot, I'm sure they felt this way! However, I really enjoyed it and had a blast. Thanks for letting me be part of your day, you guys did great!

on a hot day

2008-04-29T10:10:00.000-07:00

So if you live in Southern California you know that it has been hotter then Hades here. We have had such a hot weekend! So I pulled out the old plastic pool and filled it on up. The boys couldn't have been happier. However, that is all they want to do now is swim in the pool.

I had to take this picture of Shane with the biggest diaper ever. You can tell it's still spring......no swim diapers yet.

Wyatt just loves his brother. He is always hugging him. However, I try to teach him not to do it around the neck. It might take a little while.

It was kind of nice to soak up some sun. I just hope this isn't any indication of how hot the summer is going to be.

my friends Pat and Brittany

2008-04-23T14:08:00.000-07:00

I have been looking forward for this for awhile. I have been friends with Pat and his family since I started dating Landon. And when he started to date Brittany, Landon and I knew he was going to pop the question. It was just a matter of time. Every week when I would see Brittany's mom I would ask if he asked yet. And finally he did. However, I was so excited when Brittany asked me to be their photography for their wedding. What I thought was so cute about them in the session is that they are so lovey-dovey. They will just sit there and look at each other in the eyes and gaze. Then they will start to twril their fingers with each others. They are sooooo ready to get married. But I think it's cute (especially when you can whip a boy like. Good job Brittany! Dan......I mean Pat, you know I'm having fun.)

I love the side angle of her ring.

We found this little alley and I fell in love with it. However, I am a sucker for brick!

I am so happy for them. Who knew, the girl you knew growing up would one day be your wife. I'm so excited for you both. Can't wait for the big day!

a sad little story

2008-04-17T14:50:00.000-07:00

I have a little sad story to tell. Landon and I have been really crushed about this. And some how I am able to laugh and cry (not really, but like I said, I'm really sad). Yesterday the trees in back of our house were trimmed. They are HUGE pine trees that bug me so much. If there is just a tiny breeze in the air, my backyard gets covered with pine needles.(So you can imagine what happens when we have Santa Anas). I would go and complain to the city a lot. So one day out of the blue I come home from walking to Home Depot to get some steaks for my tomato plant and this is what I found.

They have trimmed the trees and just let the branchs fall on to the garden. I wonder what the guy up in the tree was thinking "Bamb, got that plant, Bullseye, Hit that one. Man I'm good at hitting these plants." The guy is right above my garden and saw exactly what he was doing....smashing my plants. This is the saddest sight. So above is my early girl tomato, below is my sunflowers, green beans and my purple and red bell peppers.

This here is my cherry tomato.

Doesn't this look so sad? My poor little garden.

And this is what it looked like with the some of the branches pulled off. I had to pull them off so I could take the pictures.

On a lighter note, Shane just loved licking the cookie dough on the mixer. So here are some shots (from my point and shot) of our little weekend of just us two. On Friday we headed to Disneyland (we have passes so it was kind of free for us, so why not go?) For the first time I was able to go and eat at the Blue Bayou, and ........well I did it, and will I do it again........maybe when I'm older. It was kind of cool to say that we did it. Other then that, my taste buds have had better.

Then on Saturday we went horseback riding. Landon and I have this dream that when we buy a house it's going to be on open land and we'll have horses and a huge area for my garden. Well we will most likely not be getting that living here in California, but it was nice to dream that this past weekend. But after riding for two n half hours (which is way too long if you have never rode horses) I have come to the conclusion that I will let Landon do all the riding. I really enjoyed riding, but my horse Cowboy just wanted to trot. So come Saturday night I could not walk. I couldn't even go to church on Sunday. I was in sooo much pain. I couldn't sit, stand, walk, or lay down without being in so much pain. But all in all it was a wonderful weekend without the kids.

I'm sure the people at the stables just got a good laugh at us. I had the dress up cowboy boots on and we both had cowboy hats from target. We are such wannabes, but it was fun!!!

the monroe kids

2008-04-09T21:17:00.000-07:00

I love being an aunt, and I absolutely love all my nieces and nephews. I love being in a family where it just keeps growing. (However, it seems to be at a stand still right now, and it will be for.....a little while. And that is OK) But one of my favorite things to do as an aunt is taking pictures of my nieces and nephews. I have been doing this since Landon and I were dating (that would be since High School). So every year we take the kids out, put them in some cute outfits and I snap away. However, by far this has been my favorite session with these kids. I took them up in hills where the yellow flowers are growing like crazy and shoot away.

I loved Madison in these flowers.

Grant is such a little hunk.

I love these girls. And I love this photo.

However, I couldn't decide if I liked it better in black and white. I love the feel I get from both of them.

With any photo shoot that involves kids, your on a time limit. And from the looks of this picture you can tell their time is up. However, I love it! Each of them have their own expression, their own personality showing through. I love you Abby. ( Hope you got a good smile out of this one Kalli)

You guys did great!

Well I am out for the weekend. I have the pleasure of celebrating my fifth anniversary with my handsome, wonderful, thoughtful, loving husband. Man I have been blessed. Have a wonderful weekend

a new little place

2008-04-07T11:18:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting to go and find a location where I could shoot some pictures with all the wild mustard flowers in the background. The hills by our house has tons of them growing everywhere. So one day when I was tiered of being locked up in the house I decided to go for a drive. I finally found a spot were there wasn't a fence and I took advantage of it. Here are just some cute little shoots that I liked.

For some reason I fell in love with Wyatt's expression here. Landon didn't care for it, but this isn't Landon's blog, so I posted it.

I love this picture of Shane. I couldn't have asked for a better time for him to be happy and cheerful. He loved playing in the flowers (but sometimes they looked like weeds....Which maybe they are)

I feel in love this this sign. It was so old and rusty looking. And it is out in the middle of nowhere and they have this sign saying to pay. I just laughed and then shoot the picture, and no I didn't pay.

a sad moment for me

2008-04-02T19:46:00.000-07:00

"Oh look at the your little girl! How cute is she.", "Your little girl is so cute.", "How nice, you have a boy and a girl."

WHAT!!! is what I'm thinking.

That is what we heard all night when we were at Disneyland the other night. Landon swear that we were going to cut it that night. And for the record he was wearing boy clothes that were boy colors.

Then at the grocery store today a gentlemen commented how cute my girl was.
HE IS A BOY!!!

So we cut his tonight. I'm sooo sad. But it needed to get done. Really, I could have done pigtails with his hair. But above all, he still did not look like a girl.

Some eighties look going on. My brother Ryan had that look in Jr. High and he totally thought he looked cool. Yeah, we just laugh whenever we look at that picture. But he was a pretty cool guy though and still is.

Ok so it's not that bad. (actually he is still so cute) I'm still so sad. There is one thing I would love to learn while I'm mom, that is to cut my boys hair. My mom, sister, and sister-n-law all can cut hair. Some how I didn't inherit that particular talent. But do I realize that, NO! I still try every time my boys need a haircut. And what happens every time I do it: Aunt Krista fixes it. So Krista if you are reading can you fix his hair next time your in town, I would really appreciate it.

Over all I tried to be nice whenever someone called him a girl. However, if someone does it again with his hair short I don't think I would be as nice. I'm already sad as it is. He no longer has that baby face. It's all toddler. That I'm not ready for.

my little green garden

2008-03-27T23:03:00.001-07:00

My garden is growing. I only planted it about 2 1/2 weeks ago and I am surprised of how fast they are growing. I love this time of year,....Spring. I love walking into Home Depot and seeing all the plants lined in a row and calling out to me to take them home and plant them. If I had the money I would probably buy one of everything. I don't think you could see in the picture, but I have my first little yellow bell pepper growing. Here my brussels sprouts are growing so well. These are my green beans that I just cannot wait to eat. We eat them like french fries (minus the frying).And this little lady is growing so well. She's my grape tomato. Everyday I am surprised to see how much see is growing......I am a proud mom of her.

And this is the whole garden in one picture. I couldn't go and take pictures of the garden without taking pictures of the boys. So here is #2, don't you just want to eat him up?

Meet our Mr. Firefighter. It was a gift when Landon graduated from the Fire Academy some four years ago. He has been in our front walk way for the past couple of years. However, the boys just love putting dirt into it. It gets all clogged up with dirt and just stops working. So the other day I decided to take it out and put it in the backyard were (in future) there will no longer be dirt. Let me just say that Landon will have the job of cleaning that fountain. It was an all day process that I do not want to do again. And of course the boys are loving it in the backyard as much as they did in the front yard.
Shane going down the slide

And Shane at the bottom of the slide. And what does mom do.....take the pictures. I did comfort him afterwards.

just an update

2008-03-25T13:59:00.000-07:00

It's been so crazy around here, I haven't even turned on my computer lately. Trust me I have been going through withdrawals. So last weekend we did Wyatt's birthday celebration with our family so Landon and I decided to made his cake while he was enjoying his Sunday nap. He got these dinosaur candles from his grammie and he LOVED them, he even slept with them because he loved so much. We got a little creative, but we had fun doing it. Wyatt loved it!!

Boys have the weirdest smiles sometimes. Look how cute Miley is, she is so sweetFor Easter weekend my sister and her family came down to my moms house. So we headed out there for Easter as well. I was so glad I was able to catch this on the camera. During the hunt Wyatt had the hardest time finding the eggs. So Landon was trying to help him out. Well as you can see in these pictures, the eggs are right in front of his face and he still has a hard time finding them.

No still can't see them.

Where did you say?????OOOhhhh there.....I see!!!
And then there is my baby Shane just being him. He is so cute.....I just love being a mom

wyatt turns three

2008-03-14T07:47:00.000-07:00

I can't believe my little guy is three today. How nervous I was to meet him and have him come to this world. How my life changed when we had him. And how I would never go back and change it. He is the funniest little kid around. I love how he excepted Shane so well and is so protective over him. l love watching him when he discovers something new and the excitement he has for it. I love seeing the moment when the light turns on for him and the expression he gives. I'm so blessed to have him come down to me. How did I get so lucky? I just hope I can continue to teach him to be the best he can and that he can do anything he puts his mind to, and the sky's the limit. I love you Wyatt and Happy Birthday!

our little garden

2008-03-10T13:59:00.000-07:00

This weekend was such a beautiful weekend. (I meant that in terms of the weather, I was way too busy to consider it the other way). Since it was so nice Landon and I decided to plant our garden. At first I thought I we would plant a few things here and a few things there. Well we planted things EVERYWHERE! (ooh a little Dr. Seuss) Landon and I got a little too excited about things growing inside Home Depot and we have the whole back side of our yard full of seeds soon to be plants. Which I am happy about. I love to have a garden. There is something about having a garden and getting your vegetables from your backyard instead of the store. Oh how the taste is something else. How a home grown tomato melts in your mouth, I love it!!!

So here are my beautiful little girls standing in a row waiting to be planted. Here we have a jalapeno pepper, sweet banana pepper, sweet purple pepper, green bell pepper, a red and yellow bell pepper. Six different peppers. Yes we like it hot (you can take that which ever way you want)

Included with the peppers we have sweet basil, rosemary and cilantro. We have three rows of Brussels sprouts, as well as three rows of beets (my favorite). Then we have three rows of green beans, four different tomato's: better boy (the big ones), sweet 100 (cherry), early girl (I"ll get them earlier then normal) and a grape tomato. Next to that we have three zucchini and three cucumbers. Oh I almost forgot our mint. I'm very excited to partake in the goodness of my fruits. And most likely I will be showing you more of the progress of my harvest. Chat with you soon!

I loved watching Wyatt's excitement for the garden as well. However, seeing Landon getting excited for the garden was priceless. So was the hat he was wearing.

Totally off the subject, but am I the only one who has trouble uploading with blogger. Sometimes it will only lets me upload one picture at a time, like today. Other times it won't let me sign it. Or other times I can't post anything at all. Hope I'm not the only idiot out there.

sweet as a kern

2008-03-03T20:45:00.000-08:00

Last Friday I had the pleasure of photographing the Kern family. It was a blast! At first I was a little worried because of the fact that there were eight kids under the age of ten, but it ended up being so much fun. After screaming pizza for each shot and getting everyone to sing Old McDonald it was a true pleasure capturing their kids. We ended up in a field behind one of ward buildings so the when it wasn't their turn to take pictures they headed out to the field. One of my favorite things about taking pictures of kids is capturing them when they are being just them. When they are in their own little world and making their own little expression's.This kid was the greatest. He went from that to this. I had to keep an eye on him.

my 11 inch donation

2008-02-27T14:22:00.000-08:00

I have been planning this for a long time. If you have noticed I have on the side of my blog the Pantene Beautiful Lengths link to where you could donate your hair for women who have lost theirs do to cancer. It all started when a young girl in my ward cut her long hair off and donated it. Then a few weeks later I watched the Oprah show and it had Hilary Swank on it and she and others donated their hair for woman and who have cancer and are in need of wigs. And that is when it hit me. I knew I wanted to do that. I thought that was such a wonderful gift you could give to someone that was in need. So I pledged to the website that I would do it. AND I DID IT!!!! Kelsey ended up cutting 11 inches off! I didn't even know my hair was that long. So here is a picture of Kelsey cutting it off. And here is a shot of me in my new haircut. (I make the worst subject to photograph. That is why I prefer the other side of the camera). I have been wanting to do this for so long. Last time I had hair this short was in high school. Now I can walk out of the house with some style to my hair. I love it!!! And I feel so much better doing it because it was for a good cause. Hopefully some women will be able to enjoy it who is in need.

And an update of Wyatt potty training. He is doing great!! Not one accident and he does it all by himself. Why didn't I do it sooner.

wyatt is going to kill me when he gets older

2008-02-19T15:23:00.000-08:00

So this week I have been potty training Wyatt. He turns three next month so I thought he was old enough to start. So the night before we started I got out some of the underwear that we have bought for him and let him see them. Well my son is the oddest kid ever. I nor Landon did that to him. He, himself put the underwear on his head and arms and was dancing around the room. I could do only one thing......take pictures. That boy is so like his father.
The very first day of potty training went really really well! There was a point that I let him wear nothing, and there is nothing cuter then a kids bum. So when he wanted to help me do some dishes with nothing down below, I let him and then took a picture. I edited for the internet. And Wyatt has done so good with potty training, No accidents so far, and this is day two. Wish me luck for the rest of the week! (I hope I didn't offend anyones feels with this picture. I did blur the bum, it just might not look like I did)

heres to you april and wes

2008-02-13T14:15:00.000-08:00

So long story short, two years ago (well, longer then that) when I really wanted to start wedding photography I would go and shadow other photographers. For April and Wes Aleman, Rhead Lown was their wedding photographer and I happened to know him personally so I asked if I could shadow him. He said "yes". He is really a nice guy and a great photographer. However, back then I didn't have a website nor a blog. And today while the boys were taking their naps I saw that April commented on my blog. And I thought to myself.....I have never really played or did anything with their pictures. (I even hope you have some of these, if not call me and I will get you these). So that is what I did, played with the pictures. And I really like these. I love the beach with the brides and grooms. So heres to you April and Wes! (two years later). You guys are so cute and fun. We really need to hang out again! This is my favorite shoot, them looking out to the water. I don't know why, but I just love the contrast between the color and black and white photos. (Yes it's the same picture)

painting.....with hair???

2008-02-12T13:37:00.000-08:00

So the other day I got out our paints for Wyatt to paint. I wanted to be that good mom and let him paint, even if it got messy. I was trying to get him to paint with his fingers and he wouldn't have anything to do with it. I know it is good for his sensorys, but he did not want to. However, I turn my head for one minute and he is painting with his hair. Full on dipping his head in paint and putting it on the paper. I have no idea where he got that idea. He so takes after his father. Nonetheless, I let him paint.....with his hair.

back on to blogging

2008-02-07T14:57:00.000-08:00

Finally I'm back on. My internet has been giving us such troubles. Come to find out that it was just a bad router. Plus I've been pretty busy. With what you ask? This..... My boys!!!
Last weekend we went to our friends wedding up at the Los Angeles Temple (My favorite temple). So I thought I would be one of the pesty people that the photographer always hates. The person that brings their own camera and wants to take pictures too. Well I wanted to and the mother of the groom asked me to as well. But while I was there I took some pictures of my boys.....of course
Wyatt saying cheese.
Did I tell that he walks now. He's so cute

Yeah!!!! While Dallen was on his RnR he and Christina came down for the wedding. Aren't they cute!!! He's so happy with her. I'm sad he has to go back to Iraq on Feb 12th :( I look at this picture and he looks so grown up.

Shane and he's beanie. He loved playing with that.The beautiful couple and their bridal party.Oh yeah.....Shane had he's first birthday and loved every bite of his cake. I can't believe my youngest is now one. But I love watching grow and learn new things. I love my boys!!!

mia and wyatt

2008-01-17T11:50:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I went to Disneyland with my friend from High School Amber and her two cute girls. Wyatt and Mia (Amber's oldest) played so well together. Mia calls Wyatt "WyWy", it's so cute. While we were there we said "Hi" to some of the Disney characters. To my amazement Wyatt loved going up and hugging them and saying hi. Which he has always been afraid of them. As you can see in the pictures Wyatt was totally hugging them and Mia wasn't quit sure of what she wanted to do. It was funny. It was such a great day to go to Disneyland yesterday, there was no one there. That's when I like it, no lines, no fuss. It was so fun to catch up with Amber too. I can't believe that it's been 7 going on 8 years that I have been out of High School(thank goodness, high school years were not my favorite). Hopefully we'll do it again!

He's such a poser! Thanks again Amber!

A look back of Shane's 1st year

2008-01-10T10:59:00.000-08:00

I cannot believe that on Jan. 19th Shane will be one years old. Man time goes by fast. I do know that he brings such life and love to this family, and Wyatt would be so lonely without him. Every morning when Shane wakes up he is looking for his brother. I couldn't imagine life without my two boys. And I know there is at least one more to come, and whenever they come down to us I will feel the same way. But this year was a good year for my little boy.
Happy Birthday Shane

having fun with the suggs

2007-12-17T13:58:00.000-08:00

So first I just want to tell all the people that have tagged me....I"m Soooo SORRY!! I just haven't had any time to do it. I'm not ignoring you, I just haven't done it. But hopefully soon. I just didn't think I would be so busy, which I guess is a good thing. So the other day I went out with Marisa (my new bff) and her family for their Christmas pictures. I just love taking pictures of kids. Marisa loved where I got mine done so we went to the same place (downtown Pomona at the train station). She looks so good in all her pictures....and yes Brian you look good too. (You did a good job, thank you) Her two youngest kids Miley and Levi are the same ages as Wyatt and Shane, so it's so much fun to hang out. And Wyatt just loves Miley (who wouldn't).

And this is my favoirte shot. Miley (on the left) was such a sweetie the whole time, she did that all on her own. I love the way this came outAnd here is their Christmas card. I love the colors that she choose. She pretty much designed it, I just did what she told me. Thank you so much for your friendship Marisa. I hope that I can only be as good of a friend to you as you are to me.

capturing the jorgenson clan

2007-12-14T08:36:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I got the pleasure of taking the pictures of the Jorgenson family. They were so cute. Whenever we were able to get Taylor (the oldest) to smile, she looked ssooooo cute. And twins are so adorable. I just love taking pictures of kids. The twins couldn't help but put the leaves in their mouths. But it kept them happy. Thank you so much for letting take family pictures, it was fun. We'll miss you when you move!

These photos are my Favorite!! I love the way they came out! I could wish Landon and I could look so good.
Thanks again and I'll miss my visiting teacher!

my pictures by Lydia Tolman

2007-12-13T17:02:00.000-08:00

So here are the pictures of what Lydia Tolman took of our family. It is so nice to finally have a picture of our family with me in it. And I absolutely LOVE the way they came out. Lydia and her husband Markus did such a great job. Thank you guys so much.

This is my favorite shoot of Shane, I love his smile.

my time with the tolmans

2007-12-09T07:38:00.000-08:00

So yesterday Lydia Tolman and her husband and our family did a trade. You take our family pictures and I'll do your family picture. It was awesome. I finally have a picture of our family with me in it. We had such a fun time with them. However, I don't know if I'm more excited about the pictures of our family or the pictures that I took of Lydia and her husband. They came out so beautiful! I had so much fun. That is what a photo shoot should be like. I was kind of feeling down about my photography and stuff, and felt like I just wasn't getting into the groove of things. And now I feel that I have been pumped back up. Of course I didn't have hard subjects. Her and her husband are photographers as well, so they knew how to pose and give that look your going for, so they did all the hard work. But I had so much fun! ( can I say that enough) Here's just a few of my favorites, I don't think the blog will allow the whole file to be uploaded, because all of them came out so good. I'm excited to get the pictures of my family, and when I do I'll post them. I saw a few and they were awesome. Her website is http://www.loya.ch/ She's an amazing photographer. Thanks Lydia!
This was by far my favorite shoot of the day. I loved it!This came in second

for the love of water

2007-11-28T14:10:00.000-08:00

So the other day Wyatt was throwing a fit as were driving home, and as we were pulling in he said he wanted to water the grass. ( in other words he wanted to water....himself) So I said "OK". But all I could think about was that the cars passing by were thinking I was a terrible mother, for it was only like 65 degrees outside. However, my son was as happy as possible and wasn't driving me crazy. He was so cute I even took some pictures. You could see the coldness on him. Here we have him watering his chest. He did enjoy that.
And of course how could a little boy go without doing something to his manhood. Yes he had to water it. Maybe he got the concept....if you water it, it will grow.And him drinking the water.And him filtering the water through his nose. That I had a good laugh at.About the fifth time around of doing that routine he called it quits. Luckily as of now, he's not sick.

our thanksgiving weekend

2007-11-27T21:22:00.000-08:00

Saturday we stared our Christmas traditions. It's been a tradition on my side of the family that we get our x-mas tree Thanksgiving weekend, so we got one, and tried to put up the lights. (I hate that part and I always get stuck with that job.) But it was so cute when Shane started to play with all the lights. It was all shiny and bright.....he couldn't resist. And on Landon's side of the traditions it was ( and he thinks he has to carry it on, which it one of my least favorites) is that we all sleep under the Christmas tree the first night. So we did. I'll have to say, I did sleep better then I thought I would.
On Sunday my dad came over and we had our little Thanksgiving dinner with him (expect we did tri-tip instead). We got out the race cars for the boys to play with.....all the boys. Wyatt and Shane were going crazy, it was really funny. It was so funny watching Shane trying to keep an eye on the cars as he tries to catch one. That I wish I had a video camera for.
OK how cute is that. I love this stage. Shane is the happiest baby ever..... I love him!!

please to announce mr. and mrs. holland

2007-11-21T16:31:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding for the newly Mr. and Mrs. Holland. They were married at the Redlands Temple on Saturday and it was just beautiful. My favorite part of shooting this wedding was that I could totally feel the excitement and love that the Bride and Groom had for each other. The reception was the best part. They had a full on party, it was great.

I love this picture of him lifting her up and dancing in the middle of everyone else. It was as if no one was around and it was just them alone. I was so glad that I was able to catch that!

Thank you so much for letting me part of your day! You guys look so good!

my beautiful bride

2007-11-06T11:28:00.000-08:00

I finally was able to finish my bridal shots for my up coming wedding. Between babysitting my grandma and being mom, I found it kind of a struggle. There is something about the white dress that makes any girl look like a million dollars. I loved this photo shoot because it's not your topical bridal shot background. We went to the Orange County Court house in downtown Santa Ana and the streets around it. It was so fun, the bride was totally energetic and up to doing anything out of the ordinary and I just loved the results of this shoot. I'm so excited for the wedding day!

i love dressing them up

2007-11-02T19:51:00.000-07:00

So for Halloween Wyatt was a pirate and Shane was a vampire. Usually I would think that a vampire for a 9 1/2 month old would be odd, but I couldn't resist with his vampire teeth and all. I tried to get a good shot of them with his outfit. We were going to do Joe Dirt because of his hair, but a vampire was still my favorite.

I love how Wyatt's face looks in this picture. All night long, he was always touching Shanes hair. It was cute.

Happy Halloween

2007-10-31T13:54:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday for Landon's birthday we went up to Oak Glenn, which is my favorite place to go to. I want to buy a house up there some day. Anyways, we found the perfect picture spot for the Fall/Halloween/Harvest picture. Wyatt wouldn't pose any other way, sometimes he is so stubborn. But it's a cute!
Wyatt kept throwing leaves up in the air and having them fall on him. It was so cute I had to take a picture of it, however, in this one there aren't any leaves...oh well.I couldn't help but take a picture of this. The colors are so beautiful. I love fall, it's my favorite time of year. This is what I picture my dream drive way would be, isn't beautiful!

starting young

2007-10-24T13:57:00.000-07:00

I caught my son making out with himself. He totally enjoys crawling to the mirror and kissing himself. However, as you can see he gets angry when I catch him in the act. So I just let him practice. If he is going to be anything like his mom, he'll need all the practice he can get. :PAlready using the tongue. Wow, that's a lot slobber. What a kisser! Girls watch out!!

sweet baby nate

2007-10-22T19:36:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting to post these pictures for a while now, but I have waited so that Taryn can send out the announcements first. I went to Ryan and Taryn's apartment to take some pictures of their new son Nate, who is soooo cute. He was so good through the shoot. He was so relaxed and I loved how he would look straight at the camera. I loved how these pictures came out. They are such a cute family. Thank you so much for letting me come and capture your sweet moments

This was by far my favorite picture of the day. Taryn looks so BEAUTIFUL here. I love this one!

I really enjoyed this one as well. I love the way Taryn is looking at Ryan. They are such a wonderful family and I was so happy that I could take their family pictures, Thanks you guys!

dogs for sale

2007-10-21T21:22:00.001-07:00

I had posted a while ago that my aunt's dog had puppies. Well they are now for sale. They are pure labs, and if you are interested just let me know. Wyatt just had a hay day with them. His favorite thing to do was to lay down and have all the puppies come and attact him. He kept doing it over and over again. Then he had to pick them up one at a time and say " Mom take picture.....CHEESE!!" then drop them, and pick the next puppy up. It was cute.

Poor Shane, we let him sit with the puppies and he liked it at first. However, he then started to get attacted by them. You can see one bitting his toes and the other bitting his ear. What kind of mom am I? I see it happen and all I can think of is..ow I gotta get a picture of this. It was cute.

amazing experience

2007-10-20T07:20:00.000-07:00

I had the most amazing experience last night. I was asked to assist with one of my favorite photographers, Michelle Nuttall. (www.momentsbymichelle.com) It was so awesome. It was so fun just to talk with her, get some pointers, and most of all to shoot with a bunch of different lens that I haven't shoot with before. The wedding was one of your high end weddings (which I haven't done yet) so to deal with a wedding coordinator was something totally different. Just a side note, when I went to introduce myself to her I went to shake her hand and she looked at my hand and started to say else with out shaking my hand. It was totally an insult, but Michelle said that was nothing of some of the things she has done to others. However, I did not let it get to me. And from what I can see from the camera the pictures were coming out so beautiful. The bride and groom were so cute too. They were a piece of cake to deal with. They were so easily posed and was so full of life and love that it just beamed though the camera. I was on a total high! Because I was assisting to Michelle, I doubt that I would be able to get any prints that I did because it's under her name. To me, the experience was totally worth it. I fell that I should have paid her with all the help that she has given me. And I do have to say thank you to Sara for recommending me to her....Thank you!

Bitter Sweet Addiction

2007-10-14T16:57:00.000-07:00

Last night was such a bitter sweet night for me. I finished The Eclipse. I have completly fallen love with these books (and Edward) and now I'm done. I'm so sad. But oh how I'm waiting for the next book. Today was so funny, I knew some of my young women have read it so I had to talk to them about it. It was so nice to talk to some people that have fallen love with these books as much as I have. I want to write so much more about the book, but I won't want to spill the beans for anyone...Kara. Until then, I will be addicted (fall of 08). I promise that my next post won't be about these books.

Soon to be Mr & Mrs. Holland Eng. Pictures

A few weeks ago I did the engagement pictures for a couple that I will be doing for their wedding for in Nov. It was the weekend that it was raining. I haven't posted them yet because I wanted to wait to get my newer version of photoshop.... so I can do more fun stuff with them. I just have a few here, I can't let myself get too carried away. But they were such a fun couple to be with. I'm really excited for their wedding.

This is my favorite so far. I love how it's all about the girl and the guy just lets her be in the spot light. She's so cute too. She'll be a beautiful bride!

Theres something about this red wall that I just fell in love with. But I do love red!

ADDICTED......AGAIN!!!!!

So Landon and I went up to Utah for the weekend..again, kind of a spear of the moment of kind thing. It was really nice to be alone with my boys and just get away. So in my last post I had mention that I was totally addicted to the Twilight series, which I am. So when we were up in St. George we (meaning I, telling Landon) had to stop at the Deseret Book Store so I can buy the New Moon. OH MY GOSH!!! I read that book in three days! LOVE IT!! So how wonderful is Edward, for those out there who have read it! I'm so in love with their love story. I could totally tell that Landon was jealous of the book this weekend because I spent more time with the book then him. Well it was my vacation too. I'm going to be so sad when its all over. But I am looking forward for the movie!

Things you can tell when your Addicted to the book.....for those of you who have read it, you'll have a good laugh.

1. Caught daydreaming about the reunion they would have, where and when and how she would react (however, it was totally not what I thought)

2. Had a really bad dream about Victoria

3. Became scared of the dark, because......well everything that is in the book.

4. However, I was hoping that Edward would just show up on the side of my bed telling me it would be just fine

5. Starting to think that Vampires aren't as scary as I thought, and there is something ...exciting about them.

6. Trying my hardest to really picture how beautiful Edward is.

7. Yelling at Bella saying "YES !!!!!!" (I don't want to give away something, but it is towards the end of the The New Moon")

I'm totally ADDICTED!!!!

So I kept seeing that all these people saying they were addicted to this book called the "Twilight". I needed to get a book to help jump start my mindless brain and start becoming a human again after my kids have sucked it dry. So I got it. OK so I bought Monday afternoon, and all I can think about is Edward. I love it. Its a 500 page book and I'm already on page 422. I have not been able to put it down. Here's a top ten list of how you know when your addicted:
1. Your house is totally mess.
2. Laundry...what is that?
3. Each time you need to get a dish out you have wash it from the sink because dishes have not been done for
a week.
4. Your two year old cries each time you pull it out to read.
5. You ask your kids if the "Twilight" can be their bed time story.
6. You catch your mind in a daydream of what could happen next.
7. It's 2:00am in the morning and your still reading not wanting to put it down.
8. An ounce of you wishes you could go back to high school days and have an Edward find you. (J/k on that one)
9. You find yourself not caring about the new t.v. shows because your reading the best book ever.
10. Your husbands name seems to become Edward.

He Started!!!!!

Well today was Landon's first day at the academy. He left today at 4:30am. I guess when he comes home I can't complain how tired I am. I'm so excited for him, he has worked so hard to get where he is at. I'm proud of my husband and love him so much. And yes ....to all the ladies who are wondering if he looks hot in a police uniform, he does..... J/K But I did make him put it on for me. Yeahhh!!! :)
