MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!!  Christmas is my favorite time of year for sure, I love to GIVE.  Brandon Kidd Photography was nice enough to take our Christmas pictures this year, don't they look great!!

Remember the reason for Christmas is the birth of Christ!!  Praise the Lord, that God sent his son to die for our sins, so that we would be with him one day in paradise.  Remember all Christ has done for you this year and give him praise for it!!  

THE JONES FAMILY

Okay I have to admit, it was so hard to pick for this post.  So many cute pictures.  I had the awesome opportunity to shoot my pastor and his family last weekend.  All three of the boys are super cute!!  I had to chase Levi around the yard to snap a few of him.  But the most fun I have ever had shooting...that's for sure.  Here are a few I liked the most!!

The brightest blue eyes ever!!

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO

Nichole & Victor called me up a few weeks ago to do a family shoot at San Juan Capistrano Mission as a gift for someone in their family.....who I wont mention so I don't ruin the surprise.  Anyway it was a ton of fun and what an amazing place to shoot at.  So much beautiful architecture....it was hard to choose where to shoot because I  wanted to shoot everywhere!!

A little sassiness....that's what we like to see.

I LOVE this picture.  

GRADY & GAVIN

So my small group leader asked me to take a few pictures of her boys for their Christmas card this year.  The boys were super fun to shoot, and had a ball in front of the camera.  Not to mention they both have beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes.  Sonia your boys are so cute!!

ASHLEY & DAVID AT THE MONTAGE

Ashley & David were super cute together.  I have to compliment them on their flexibility, as it was an extremely windy day down in Laguna.  Here are some pics from the shoot.  I have to admit, it was really hard to choose.  We can't wait to shoot them in 2009!!

ASHLEY & DAVID TEASER

Working on a new post.  Just wanted to give you guys a little teaser.

PUMPKIN CARVING

This had to have been the hardest pumpkin I have ever carved.  Next year I think I will stick to the easy patterns!!

PUMPKINS

Pumkins!!  It's that time of the year where we all get to carve pumpkins.  Wait till you see ours!!  Last weekend we went to the Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch in Irvine to pick out some pumpkins for Halloween.  It was a ton of fun.  Not only did we get some pumpkins but we got to explore the corn maze!!

CUPCAKES

I LOVE CUPCAKES!!  I know it's totally random, but a couple weeks ago two of the girls in my small group brought cupcakes for my friend's birthday (Kristin, pictured below).  I thought they are so pretty & yummy.  That I just had to share.  Needless to say, it looks like I will be making lots of cupcakes for the holidays.  Oh, and Happy Birthday Kristin!!

HAPPY 50th DAVE

A few weeks ago I have the privilege of shooting my old small group leader's husband's 50th Birthday Celebration at the Palm Springs Air Museum.  The hanger was so cool.  It was the Navy hanger, which was packed full of old Navy Planes and chalk full of history.  

Super cute....

Even cuter...

There were tons of model Navy ships and planes.  Super Cool!!
