What a weekend!

I had quite the weekend! I am sad to see it end as I had so much fun! For starters I got to see my fabulous best friend and go see one our our old school favorite bands No Doubt so that was a blast. And she is preggers so it was baby's first concert! :)

Then Saturday I spent the day with the Ruiz family at the beach. It had all the elements that put fear in photographers, strong winds, runny noses, the sun set behind a hill so we couldn't see it, and cold weather. For a sweet little 3 year old girl and a gorgeous 9 year old boy, that can tire the little ones out pretty fast! However, after editing all night last night, I was jumping for joy when I saw that we still had some AMAZING photos! I can't wait to send them to the family and post some up here for you to see! The mother Cristina had these amazing blue eyes that just made for lovely pictures with her husband. Oh and did I mention this family is my cousin Cristina's family, so the pressure was on! :) Kidding they were great and I had a blast!

Last, on Sunday I had a shoot with a gorgeous family, The Coopers. What a gem! I had suggested we shoot at this hidden botanical garden spot called Hartley Botanica in Somis, CA. I had only heard of the place and never been so I was dying to get a shoot there. Once I told the mother Krissy about it, she told me they loved that place and got married there so I was ecstatic that one of us were familiar! When we got there it was such a beautiful hidden treasure! If you haven't been, we must do a shoot there! So green and vibrant. The family was perfect and with a couple this good looking it is hard to get a bad picture. They had two little boys, a 3 year old and a sweet 8 week old baby. I can't wait to post some of their pictures as well. I will try and get to it this evening. Till then..... bye!
