Ten Years {Central Coast Nature Photographer}

Last weekend, my husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. A decade! Time flies. We headed to the coast for four days, just the two of us. It was restful (I took a three hour nap one afternoon!!) and romantic and fun. Here are a few pictures…

We went on a whale watching boat trip, but sadly didn’t see any whales. We did see lots of other cute faces…

Near Cayucos, CA…

Sunset at Montana de Oro State Beach…

And a little comparison… ten years, two kids, six houses, and a lot of laughs…

My request for Mother’s Day this year was family pictures at the beach. On Sunday afternoon, we set out with some great weather to capture this moment in time.

Here are my two cuties (ages 7 and 3½) – the faces I adore and the reason I get to celebrate Mother’s Day. So so so grateful.

I also got to gift my mother-in-law with some updated portraits of her with her son and grandchildren.

And, of course, some shots of our little family of four.

My daughter is this amazing, creative little firecracker. She is already a true artist. She is sensitive and smart and so so so funny. Every day she gets better and better. I’m forever grateful to her for being the one that made me a mommy. I never knew I could adore someone as much as this.

This crazy boy melts my heart. He is sweet and spunky and loves me like no one else ever has. Mama’s boy indeed! He is logical and mechanically inclined and wildly affectionate. He tells me 20 times a day that he loves me and often appears beside me for a few minutes of cuddles. He is funny and clever and such a “boy!” I really do love being a mom (even when they drive me crazy!) and I absolutely adore my children. I am so blessed to be their mommy.I know I will cherish these photos for the rest of my days. Capturing this moment in time – being a mommy to young children – warms my heart. They’re growing up so very fast and I hope these pictures will be a lifelong reminder of what it feels like to hold both my babies in my arms. I love them with my whole heart for my whole life.

Last weekend I had the joy to photograph another Navy homecoming. I took this sweet family’s portraits just before their dad deployed and it seems like a long time ago! These boys have been missing their daddy for 227 days (!) and were very eager to see him.

They’re home!

The boys were so adorable watching the planes. They were so excited!

Baby sister had a bad ear infection and had been sleeping, but we didn’t want her to miss her dad’s arrival, so she rushed out to the plane with her brothers, asleep in mommy’s arms.

Joy!

Like I said, Baby S wasn’t feeling well and had been fussy since we arrived that morning. But she was all smiles once she was in daddy’s arms. So cute!

As they were exchanging hugs and kisses, the next squadron arrived. Perfect timing for photos! : )

Look at that happy girl! Look familiar? She was the cutie in the “cake smash” photos a few months ago.

And, as we were heading back inside the hanger, the third squadron arrived. Have I mentioned how much I love being out there for these homecoming days? Amazing! Thank you J family for asking me to document this wonderful reunion and thank you for your sacrifices and service to our country.

Ready for some cute country family pictures?

I shared this one on my Facebook page….. I LOVE this picture and the moment captured between a girl and her daddy.

… but that’s not to ignore the love between mother and son!

Grandma and Grandpa joined us for some pictures, too…

And some cousin love as well!

I think these girls are pretty darned lucky!

Just in Time {Fresno Portrait & Event Photography}

Last week, I had the honor of photographing another Navy homecoming. This time the arrival was at Fresno Yosemite Int’l Airport. And these pilots had a lot of excitement to come home to – a very pregnant wife and her friend, who has a new baby meeting her Daddy for the first time. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job?! I was honored to be there to capture K’s husband’s homecoming, just in time for the delivery of their first child in a few weeks.

He’s home!

One of the things I love about these events is the affection that I see after the husbands and wives are back in each other’s arms. It’s so sweet to see how they just literally can’t let go of each other after such a long distance apart.

Thank you to the L family for choosing me to photograph this day for you! And best of luck as you welcome your new son into the world very soon!

The A Family Has Grown {Sonoma County Family Photography}

Meet the newest member of the A family. Cute cute cute!

It appears big brother is adjusting very well and I have a feeling these two are going to great friends.

At a little over two months old, little L was a perfect blend of newborn adorableness with a bit more awake time, too.

And still so teeny tiny. Swooooooon.

While little brother was getting changed, big brother snuck in and posed for me. How could I not take pictures of this child? Those eyelashes just kill me.

And look who is wide awake? So. Stinkin.’ Cute.

Spring Sneak Peek {Kings County Nature Photographer}

jodie — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:35:41 +0000

While my true love is Autumn, there’s no denying the beauty of almost-Springtime and the blossoms awakening in the warm sunshine. Like last year and the year before that, I set out to capture some images of the lovely orchards near our home. This time of year is lovely in the Valley, isn’t it?

I even spotted a little green lady bug.

… and lots more blooms to come!

If I triggered your allergies, I apologize! ; )

My Girl {Hanford Child Portrait Photographer}

This month, my little girl turned 7. And that, my friends, requires portraits! She picked out a pretty blue dress – her favorite color – and I found a spot in Hanford with some pretty turquoise peeling paint.

She is a sensitive, sweet, wild little girl with a major creative streak. She’s been such a blessing to us and I can’t believe she’s already seven years old.

Happy birthday, peanut! We love you!

This is one of my favorite families, and they are gearing up for an overseas move this Spring. I’m sorry to see them go, but was thrilled to give them one last photo session in Hanford.

I love these three little faces…

…especially the adorable freckles!

… and this serious and contemplative face.

… and what is better than gummy baby smiles?!

After they finished their pictures, the girls were rewarded with a trip to Superior Dairy. Can’t get much more “Hanford” than that!
