As we embark upon a new year I have been reflecting on the events of 2011. This past year has been amazing in so many ways. I wanted to take some blog space to thank all of you who have supported me and my photography business this year. I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of new and wonderful people as well as enjoy the company of old friends and repeat customers. I truly feel blessed to know all of you. Thank you for making my year one to remember. I can't wait to see what next year brings.
Here are a few of my favorites from this past year. Enjoy!

I hope you are having a fabulous holiday season! I just wanted to share my little and big man on their favorite ride at Disneyland (that's where we spent part of our holiday!).
Enjoy!
The L. mom contacted me for a photosession of her two kids. It's tradition for them to have their picture taken together every year. There is one rule that they have to follow... They have to be touching in some way. She told me about all the crazy photos they have done in the past and how this tradition wasn't always the favorite of her two kids. But I just loved this first photo and the look in E.'s eyes as his sister tried to carry out the tradition!!
Of course they did indulge me in some sweet family love!
And they were even happy just to hang out with each other side by side.
I don't know about you but I think that L. is just gorgeous!
And L. suggested that her mom had to get in some photos too. Love this one of D. because every time I think of her it's with a happy laughing smile.
Even E. sat long enough for me to get a few good ones of him (that I know his lady friend will love!).
Don't you think this one will look great in their Dad's office?
This one too.
Thanks to you L. Trio for sharing your tradition, lots of laughs and for enduring all of my awesome jokes!
This is one of the sweetest blue-eyed family I know. Their photosession was full of laughs and big smiles. They were so much fun to work with. Don't you just love this photo?
The L. kids are seriously gorgeous! Just look at J. No wonder all the girls at school love him!
This little bubba is such a cutie patootie.
Don't you just love them?
Darling girl
T. has the biggest and happiest smile ever! Love it!
Thanks L. Family for a great session!
Meet the C. Family. They just received a new addition to their family (a just over 4lb 13 oz baby girl!). Hooray!!!
And little L. is sooo cute! Look at these happy parents.
Isn't she precious?
They make such a darling family of four.
All little girls must love pink!
Congrats C. Family!!!! (Don't you seriously love that baby L. is already holding her big brothers finger?)
Here is just one of this beautiful girl. I know it's a tease, but you will just have to check back to see more of her and her family...
Here's just one of this darling blue-eyed family. You are going to have to check back to see more...
Is this the sweetest little baby ever? She is barely over 4lbs and totally perfect. Stay tuned for more of her and her family...
This is the G. Family. They braved the windy weather for this photosession and were champs about it. The boys were so cute smiling so big every time they could barely see. I loved every second of it!
Enjoy these images!
Don't they look like newlyweds?
These boy's faces are sooo darling!
Beautiful girl-- I love the mommy/daughter photo.
Thanks G. Family!!
I just can't get enough of this cute face! There will be more of him and his family coming soon...
There's nothing like squeezing in a family photo the second your son comes home from college and you have 20 of your relatives coming into town for the holiday. But the O. family was up for the challenge. They even had an idea of taking them at a new location that has recently opened up here in town. Here are a few from their session:
These kids are sooo cute! And I can't believe that we finally got little E. to smile!
Thanks O. Family!
