Ben | He's graduating!

I was so happy to see Ben the other week for this shoot, and the fact that he can properly dress himself! Such a stylish boy. And you've probably seen his little sister, Natalie, on here a few pages back. The whole family...seriously...gorgeous genes or something. So photogenic, and he's such a crack-up. He's graduating this year, so tip your hat and congratulate him! San Francisco, you're receiving one fine student next semester.

xoxo

joni momma!

Seriously, nothing makes me miss living in illinois more than Joni.. I literally hit the mother-in-law jackpot with this one. She was visiting us this weekend for Justin's birthday, (which was 4/8 by the way, happy birthday baby! haha) and we raided Ikea, dug through the tide pools, shopped around through dana point harbor and just relaxed. Safe to say I had a pretty good weekend, and I hope that she did too.

I miss her already.. so let's recap!

Hunter!

My friend Mica has the world's cutest nephew. I had to take advantage of this opportunity. He has the silliest personality for a 2 year old. Reminded me of my brother a lot, it made me smile. It was a very nice way to start off the spring time with its warm tones. Enjoy his cuteness!

A cheer-me-up photo shoot. Totally worked!

I've been having a terrible week, so I had this spontaneous idea to pick up my friend Mica and had random photo shoot in the middle of the canyon. No idea in mind, nothing in mind actually, we just picked up and left. It really cheered me up. Being complete fools in the middle of a field, that was literally 30 feet from the highway, everyone was staring as we had a personal picnic, sitting on an american flag and playing with a large bubble wand. I love my friends, they know exactly what to do to get my mind off of things. Enjoy our completely "off the wall" afternoon. :)
