I know all you other Californians are rolling your eyes at me right now, but I have to say I am loving this weather.  We got this great rain outfit from a close family friend a couple of years ago, thanks Kath, and just had to try it out with Jace even though it is supposed to be for a 5 year old! Check out the boots and hilarious umbrella…so cute!!  We have been having so much fun jumping in puddles, floating leaves down the gutters, and just standing around feeling the rain hit our faces!  I feel like we are finally having our winter around here; I haven’t seen the sun much for a week and I must say, I am not bothered in the least.  I guess my genetic background might help here, most of my family lives in England and I was born and lived there till I was 3 or 4.  I supposed I was destined for a life of crummy weather and just happened to get lucky and have adventurous parents who decided to move to California.  Don’t worry guys, the sun will come back soon!

Sidney and I did a photo shoot honoring his upcoming graduation and we had a fantastic time.  I don’t work with high school seniors much but I really do enjoy photographing these fresh young faces who have everything to look forward to and their whole lives ahead of them.  I had heard so much about Sidney from a family friend prior to meeting him and everything she said was true…super sweet, kind, and the most amazing heart.  Thank you so much for coming in and congratulations on such a great accomplishment!

Jamie and Jon got married a few years back.  They had a magnificant wedding at the Villa Del Sol D’Oro in Sierra Madre and came back to see me last weekend to introduce me to Alex Taylor! We had a great time reminiscing about their wedding and oohhing and ahhhing over the newest addition to the family…she was really sweet and so cute! I have included a couple of my favorites from the session here.

Now I know everyone has seen the head in the hands shot but I thought this was especially profound since Firefighter & Paramadic Daddy helped bring Alex into the world with his own two hands… so amazing!  I love hearing the birth stories from my new parents and this one was especially breath-taking!  The Dr. let Jon deliver the baby, obviously with some guidance and a watchful eye, but isn’t that just awesome?  Way to go guys, she is going to love that story one day!

Congratulations on your new little one, she is gorgeous and before you know it will be up and running with her stunning big sister Morgan!  Don’t cha just love sisters!
