Olivia's 5th Bday!

My Mom and I couldn't help ourselves. We went a little bit overboard for Olivia's birthday! My baby girl only turns five once. It is a magical age & we wanted her to have special memories of her birthday! Her only request was a Pinkalicious (as in the book) themed birthday. So with her request in mind, everything at the party was compliments of the letter 'P' or the color pink. Pink decorations, a pink candy bar (a pink free one for the boys), ponies, and a petting zoo brought to us by Mary from My Pony Go Round. We ate PB&J on pink bread from Smith's, potato salad, pink bunny barf(jello salad), pink poultry sandwiches for the adults, and a variety of potato chips. Keeping true to the story, we ate pink cupcakes from Sweet Surrender. Not only were they yummy, but oh so pretty to look at! Thanks to everyone who celebrated Olivia's special day with us and we hope you had a blast.

She is already planning her 6th birthday... a Purplicious (as in the book) themed party.

Emma

Emma wins the best baby award to date! She is also a very well hydrated baby ;0)!! I've known her mom and dad forever and was so excited for them to come over and let me have my baby fix! She is so seriously yummy!!!

Computer Problems

I just wanted to let you guys know that I am having some computer problems. My computer has been attacked by a virus that wipes out my exe. files. I dealt with this last month also and apparently my computer guy didn't get rid of it the first time. When my computer did it's automatic update, that nasty little virus struck again. I got my computer back for a day just so I could manage a few files and post a time sensitive preview. It must go back to my service guy tomorrow. I do not have email also so please know if you are trying to reach me that I am not ignoring you. Because of this virus, I am obviously behind. Not a great time for me to be as this is a busy time. I am hopeful I will be up and running in a few days. Thanks for understanding!

Elyse

Elyse needed photos send out with her graduation announcements. She is just GORGEOUS and I am dying to take her out for more pics before she is off to UCSB in the Fall. She was selected to be a graduation speaker at Stockdale H.S. Congrats Elyse!! Hope you love your pics as much as I do!

I took Elyse out to a "new to me" location. We loved it!!!! I must warn you that if you consider this location be prepared to be covered in stickers, burrs, and dirt! Oh and there were critters too! Elyse was brave (I was the chicken). I wouldn't recommend small children(unless they are really good listeners). Aside from that, I think it is a new fave for me!

Jackie, Patrick, & Coming Soon...Kiley

When I heard Patrick had tats, I knew exactly where to go for this maternity session. Downtown!!!! Jackie, could you please share with us all how you keep a rockin' bod and zero stretch marks while pregnant? Seriously, no retouching, can you believe it??? I had a hard time picking which images to post (as usual). Enjoy your preview!
