whats to come

in the next few days...

i cannot wait to get them all edited and show them off. these two are so fun! 

l dot a dot

so even before we even met, i knew we would get along great. we were both signed up for the fabulous jasmine star's workshop in april, and she was the one to organize our groups  getting to know you  page on facebook. i hadn't seen her work yet, nor had i done anything more than see her name: verenice (which i like to say with a very french accent verrrrrreniiiiccce). but for some reason, i knew she and i would become friends.

verenice is the photographer behind l dot a dot photography, and is jsut starting her business as she finishes up law school, yeah, she's smart and creative and she's gorgeous! she asked if i could take some photos of her for her website, and i of course said yes!

she of course tried to pull the "i'm better behind the lens than i am in front" line, and all i have to say to that is: v, if you are this good in front of the lens, i better watch out,  because you rock behind it too!

for my new bpf (best photographer friend):

you are stunning!( and thanks for watching my back so i didn't get taken out by one of the dogs!)

1+1=5!

one baby is a blessing. two is a handful. three, well that is a miracle and a headache all wrapped in one adorable set of triplets! 

this was my first experience with shooting newborn multiples, and it was a fun afternoon! just as you'd expect, as soon as two were ready to go, the third would spit up, cry, or need a diaper change. it was a constant revolving door as to which one it would be, and mama and daddy, along with their aunt, were like a well oiled machine.  

i am in ah of their parents, and the calmness that they both have. the way they would just laugh at the situation, rather than get upset, is inspiring. but then again, i guess you have to just laugh, they are too cute not to! 

capturing memories

capturing light. that is what photography is. capturing and savoring every little detail of that moment in time.

memories. the mental capacity of retaining and reviving impressions and emotions.

first birthday. the only age at which an adult will try to force you to make a mess while eating your birthday cupcake.

third birthday. the age at which spinning circles while blowing bubbles in the grass is still the most fun.

                                             

sisters. two who are connected not just through blood, but also by love.

happy birthdays D and N. 

thank you for allowing me to capture those memories for you. 

the best way to spend my tuesday...

was to start it with these two:

and end it with this one:

more to come soon.....

cheerleading, bumblebees and eiffel 65

when you are 16, you have the world in front of you. you think you know what's best, and you don't think twice about your actions. and when you are 16 and you meet your best friend during cheer tryouts, you know it will be one energetic friendship.

it was the summer i turned 16 when nicole and i roomed for cheer camp. we had rebel attitudes, not liking to conform to the typical peppy cheerleader stereotype (although we were both pretty perky anyways), so our days as cheerleaders didn't last too long. but our friendship has.

she was my maid of honor, my oldest son's godmother, and i was her maid of honor last summer. we talk almost daily.

when she told me she was pregnant, i automatically started envisioning her maternity photos. she is one of the most beautiful  people i know, both inside and out. but on the morning of her baby shower, after having been in a wedding the day before, she was feeling anything but pretty. our session got ixnayed, but i told her i wouldn't allow her to not have any pictures done. so, in front of her parents home, we did a quick impromptu session, before her guests arrived.

things i love thursday!

i lost a filling 2 nights ago. how you might be wondering? flossing. who loses a filling while flossing? apparently, me. i thought the whole point of flossing was to avoid things like this happening. ugh. i'm off to the dentist in a bit to have it fixed, at least they could get me in this quickly.

so here is my very quick things i love list:

orajel. the only thing helping my poor little w sleep through the night while he's teething, and the only thing helping the pain from having an open hole in my tooth. 

tulips. so spring, so colorful, so gorgeous when they are sitting on my kitchen counter!

yo gabba gabba. i'm not quite sure how to explain this show, except that it is educational at the same time as entertaining. if you saw brad pitt's orange jumpsuit halloween costume, he was dressed as dj lance from the show. it's on nick jr, and one of the only shows e will sit through long enough for me to take a shower and get dressed. god bless yo gabba gabba.  weird but awesome.

comedy wednesdays. have i mentioned that before? i heart modern family and cougar town. they make me look forward to wednesdays. 

summer dresses. long, short, striped, floral, my closet is full of them. now that the weather is heating up, my white legs might finally get to see sunlight while i'm rockin a cute dress.

have a great week all!

i don't know if i've introduced enzo to everyone yet. he's our "fur"st born. 100 lbs of pure sugary sweetness.
