Fun with the Gabaldon family

Welcome to my Sunday Post. This is day 9 of 30 in my post every-day-for-a-month-blogging. To see a slideshow from yesterday's post of the Parris Family click HERE . This is a bit more of a challenge than I had expected! Today was a perfect day for pictures. The sky was even and full of great light! I really can't beleive how busy I have been. Some of you may remember this fun family from earlier this year when I did newborn pictures of baby Justin. Here is just one image to hold you over until I work on the rest.

Parris in the Fall = love and beauty!

What a treat it was to spend a couple hours in Parris today.

Well not the real one like Paris, Eiffel tower, city o' love... this one is better! The Parris I was at is the home to the lovely Parris family, Will, Jess and Charlie (aka Charlotte). I have to tell you how amazing this family is. Love and Beauty are two words that can barely explain to you what you feel in there home. Will and Jess were so gracious to invite me in and let me take pictures of the 3 of them as a family. And no, I didn't just knock on their door and ask to come in. They are friends of mine... :)-

Baby Charlie is THE cutest little baby girl (my children a side for a moment) that I have ever seen. she has these sharp blue eyes that really grab you and the best smile! It was so much fun to watch her interact with her mom and dad. I love first time parents because they have this joy. I can't explain it. Not to say that 2nd 3rd and further children don't bring amazing amounts of joy to their parents, but there is just something about the way a dad looks at his new baby. And the way a new mom can't ever put her down!!!!! It seriously is the most breath-taking thing! Anyway, Charlie was born July 18th and was a button full of beauty and excitement. She is now a 4-month-old little darling who had the most entertaining soundtrack and enough spirit to lead a stadium full of Trojan fans!

here are just a few of many hard to choose from pictures I catured during my visit at their home! To see an adorable slideshow click here
This is my favorite from the day!


Toes, a family of toes!

Jess and Will have a fantastic home. This was a perfect location to take their pics!

Charlie is a daddy's girl! It's a fair trade for being out numbered by the ladies in the house!

Always busy looking around and learning!
I love babies in giant chairs.
And in giant beds too!
Come bcak tomorrow, I'm adding a slideshow! =)

Totally Random Pictures

I have so many weird things on my harddrives. These are some fun weird things from last spring.

And here is one fun wedding picture fron this summer.

I have so much to be thankful for!

Today was glorious! I got to sleep in and wake up with a great cup of joe made by my hubby. I enjoyed the time I spent making a beautiful meal, turkey, stuffing and all the spiffy extras. I was so happy to finally have a working oven. Ours had been out of commission since we moved in way back in May! grandma brought the potoaoes an gravy and robbi helpped me with the sweets She made a delicious pie!!!!
The best part of thanksgiving was sharing it with my family. Alex and the kids really enjoyed eating and visiting with my mom and dad, my sis Robbi, and my grandma. we all shared what we were most thankful for this year. I am so greatful to have one full offical year under my belt as a full time photographer. This week marks my freshman year over as a wedding industry all day everyday photographer. I owe so much to Alex! Whitout him I would not have any of this. He doesn't mind my Sunday meetings or wehen i bring my laptop to bed with me. He sleeps less then me and works harder everday. On top of all that he is an amazing dad and even brought me a beautiful long stem deep red rose when he was out today!
Zach had his own stuffing recipe e was preparing for us.




He couldn't wait to taste it though.

We decided to let him enjoy it all to himself.

A special request

My cousin Sheri was married a little over a month ago. I had received a very special request for some photo-shoping. Here is Sheri with her mother Barbara on her wedding day, October 13th, 2007.

It's about time!! This counts as Wednesday's post BTW!

So, it seems that another show has found it's place into our home! Back in august Nick jr launched a pretty awesome morning show for little ones called Yo Gabba Gabba.


My son Zach who is on the peak of turning 2-years-old is obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba! I just realized that I haven't blogged about his love of this show yet. My Daughter is pretty into it as well and keeps telling me she wants to be one of the dancing kids on it! Anytime someone in our family says please in a certain tone, it is followed by a thank-you - Yo Gabba Gabba Style. Please, Thank-you, Please Thank-you, Please Thank-you Magic Magic Magic Magic! And it continues.... Yo Gabba Gabba is has become first choice of my kids, not only because my great friends(the Lyon family) are producers of this crazy, fun, attention grabbing, get up and dance, teach you cool stuff show...... but also because it really does rock! So here is to YGG being a staple in our home and for the songs that seem to be with us everywhere we go! So, tune in weekdays at 11:30 am and I promise your kids will LOVE it!

Goodbye see ya later!!!!!!

I'm easy to please. This is my entire christmas wish list!

As I was sitting here working through some images from this summer, a commercial grabbed my attention. My all time favorite show Gilmore Girls (which ended this year in a sudden unexpected series finale) has been released on a complete series DVD set!!!! I'm so jazzed, yes JAZZED! I hang out by the TV series DVD section every time I'm at costco or target! So, this is it, all I want! Well that and maybe some gourmet chocolate!

Here are a few images I was working on. These are from a wedding I worked on with Drew. Traci and Kevin Sanchez were married In September in Upland. It was a beautiful day. Even more beautiful since Traci is an old friend of mine.
