Pasadena family photography: the Godson Family

i adore this family. friends of ours since before we were all parents, we've been blessed to watch our children grow together. 
Yvonne had so many ideas for their session we weren't able to fit them all into our one afternoon! We narrowed down her favorite ideas, and took off to a few fun locations around the Pasadena area. 









did i mention they were expecting #3?! now the pressure is on for us to catch up! ha! 

after, we headed over to the park for a few more:

los angeles photography: god bless craigslist, and other tangents i go off on

if i had it my way, i would redecorate my house with the seasons. i don't just mean a new throw pillow here, and a different vase over there. i mean redecorate. top to bottom. wall to wall. redecorate. but sadly (or thankfully), i have a husband who is quite attached to our couch, likes the rugs we have just fine, and thinks our house looks perfect. 

if craigslist were around when i was still single, i know i would have done it too. why not! all the treasures you can find! the pieces that just need a little love, and they can be perfect, or perfectly quirky, and then just as quickly can be sold to the next person to love just a while too. it sounds like the perfect dream!  

yesterday i brought home a new treasure. the most amazing, beautiful boned, 1940's victorian parlor couch. the hubs said i was crazy, as usual, but humored me as i made him drag it to the bay window in our room. 

isn't she lovely!


eventually, she will be reupholstered in a luscious velvet and given new life, but until then, i can already envision the beautiful sessions that she can be part of!
