ASHLEY'S 3RD B-DAY PARTY!!

SUPER-CALI-FRAGILISTIC-EXPI-ALI-DOCIOUS - OH MY!! Marry Poppins flew into town today, especially for Ashley's 3rd Birthday Party!! All the girls and boys that attended had a blast!! Tea party, dress up, face painting, and fun games with Marry Poppins was the talk of the town :) Ashley looked marvelous with her beautiful bonnet and lovely lace umbrella... I wonder where Marry Poppins is going to show up next?! Happy birthday, Ashley!!

AUTUMN'S FAMILY PHOTO SESSION...

I was super happy that the weather decided to smile upon us today at the Arboretum with yet another sweet family :) With 1 - 2 hours left before sunset, lighting was just PERFECT!! It was a bit chilly, especially for sweet little Jack (those eyes...), but Melissa, Joel, and Princess Elise & Kitty (so dreamy...) did a fantastic job! Thank you, everyone!! Can't wait to see you soon :)

CHEN Family & Halloween Photo Session!!

Yesterday was a family/Halloween photo session with the Chen Family :) It's always wonderful when I am given numerous opportunities to take images of families during their many "life" events, as well as the privilege of witnessing their children's growths (especially those little sweetie-pies blossoming into charming ladies...).

My heart always melts when children remember me from before and shout out, "TJ!!" with a huge smile :) Truly, children are life's precious gifts... Thank you, Chen Family!!

Sophie's Classy Photo Session...

Today was a pleasant Sunday late afternoon photo shoot with Sophie. Even though we both grew up outside of the United States, we had many things in common and I enjoyed every minute of our conversation :) Sophie has this calm delicate beauty that is timeless, and I love the way she looks in these images... Thanks Sophie for a great afternoon!

Thank you, Sutton Family!!

Thanks, again, Sutton Family!! I just wanted to share my TWO favorite images from their photo session. Rowan was too cute with those pineapple glasses, and Max was silly cute being himself :) I'm so happy when I'm able capture kids just being "kids"!

Allison's 1st B-Day Party!!

WOW!! How time flies when you're busy working on things that you enjoy!! In my case, it's teaching my 5th graders AND photography :) It seems like just yesterday when I was invited to photograph Allison's baptism... She's such a big girl now!! What a joy to witness, as well as having the privilege of capturing children's images as they grow up... LOVE IT!! Allison's mommy did a fantastic job with the decorations, as you can see :) They were finger-lickin' yummy, too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALLISON!! See you again soon! XOXO
