how easily they steal our hearts.

los angeles children's photography: happy fathers day

every day, not just fathers day, i treasure the relationship you have with our boys. you are teaching them to be strong, athletic, smart and chivalrous men. you show them what it means to be able to work with your hands and be proud of your accomplishments. because of you, they are seeing what it means to be a real man: to love whole heartedly, to laugh at life's little hiccups, and of course, to throw a baseball. they know what it means to be a hero, because you are theirs. 

we love you for everything you do for our family, the sleepless nights at work, and the sleepless nights at home. the cereal poured just right, and the steak bbq'd to perfection. the tires pumped on the bikes, and the batteries changed in the toys. the wrestling, playing yogurt shop, and laying watching cartoons. our boys love you more than their limited vocabularies can express.

 and i, well i know every day just how blessed i am to have you raising our children with me. thank you for being the best father our children could ever have. 

(and if y'all were wondering where the little one was during all this fun, he was napping! So when he woke up, I snapped a couple of him as well)

san jose children's photography: my little blue eyed man

judah has the most unbelievably blue eyes i have ever seen. ever. they are crystal blue, and have been since the day he was born. when he is happy, they shine like no other. he has an amazing smile, and is a little gentleman as well. but don't be fooled, this little angel has his fiery side too, and when he is mad, they turn a icey blue that lets you know "don't mess with me"

i love this little guy almost as much as my own two boys, and i love watching him grow up to be such a little man. in a few more months, he is going to be a big brother, so this day, we celebrated his two and a half years with a fun little shoot around the corner from grandma's house.

morgan hill family photography: their energy should be bottled and sold!

a beautiful park. a perfect day. a lovely couple and their two adorably energetic toddlers. that is how i spent an afternoon with the amaro family. 

the little ones gave me a run for my money, literally. non stop energy flowed from these two, and i wished i could bottle it up and drink it so i could have half the energy they did! 

it was a challenge to get jayden to sit still long enough for any photos, and aliyah wanted nothing more than to chase her big brother around. 

danielle and antonio, you two brought two beautiful children into this world! i don't know how you have the constant energy to keep up with them, i was exhausted after an hour!! enjoy your lovely family, i did!
