I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but my sweet little baby suddenly turned into a kid.  I can’t believe how fast these past eight years have gone.  But I can say that we are one lucky family to have such a great kid like Gabriel.  He’s so funny, creative and super smart.  He spends hours reading and building amazing lego creations.  He was such a cute baby:

And just look at him now!  Obviously he’s not challenged in the looks department!

Every year I take balloon photos for my kid’s birthdays.  So when they turn one, I use one balloon.  Two years gets two balloons, and on and on.  I’m sure they’ll hate me when I make them do it when they turn 15!  But for know, I have somewhat willing participants (encouraged with the promise of ice cream!).

Happy Birthday to my little boy!  No matter how old you get, you’ll always be my baby!

    My favorite is the knowing sideways look. You certainly have a gift if you can even get your own children to cooperate and take great pics!

    Awesome post!! Thank you for sharing these. Love this so much!

I could tell Eric was really anxious before the wedding, and it was so sweet to see him relax once Melissa arrived.  It was like it all became real and good once they were together.  Their love and appreciation for each other is obvious, and so nice to see!

The ceremony took place at Our Lady of the Rosary in Little Italy.  From there, we cruised around Little Italy and took advantage of tons of great photo spots.  Then we headed to The Don Room at El Cortez which looked amazing!  I have to give a big thank you to Melanie Montoya who kept the day running so smoothly and was so wonderful to work with.

Congratulations to you both!  It was so great working with you and meeting your family and friends!

This was my first time exploring Daley Ranch.  After a longish and very warmish 🙂 hike, we were rewarded with rolling fields and cool old buildings.  It was so great getting to know Megan and Mark better, and I can’t wait for their wedding this winter at Twin Oaks Garden Estate.

    Awesome pictures! Megan you look gorgeous, and congrats again on your marriage 🙂

This was my first time photographing a wedding at the Franciscan Gardens and doing photos at Mission San Juan Capistrano.  They are both such lovely spots in old San Juan Capistrano.  Stefanie and Sam put so much thought into the details of their wedding.  It was so obvious that their families are such a huge part of their lives, and I love how Stefanie’s daughter was so much a part of the wedding and ceremony.  This wedding was such a happy union and I’m so thrilled to see Stefanie and Sam together, they truly have such a great love and respect for each other.
