a biggie update

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

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

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

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.
