I met first met Remi and her parents last week when I went to their home to take pictures of Remi for her first birthday. What a cutie pie and such a sweet family! Like most girls who love chocolate, Remi had no problem chowing down on her chocolate cupcake from Nadia Cakes. One of Remi’s favorite characters is Chica from the Sprout PBS channel and it was so cute to watch her hug and love on her custom made stuffed toy of Chica made by Viola Studio on Etsy.com. Happy Birthday to Remi!

Now that’s what I call a good first birthday cake!! Remi’s cake was custom made by Nadia Cakes with all her favorite characters.
Look at that fur on Elmo. Amazing!!
Remi’s bedroom was absolutely darling!
Took pictures of this darling little girl this week for her first birthday and wanted to share a little sneak peak of her with her chocolate cupcake from Nadia Cakes.
Had a great time with Joy and Corey while shooting their engagement pictures at the park. Corey is in the Army and took a short leave to come see Joy here in Lancaster and get their engagement pictures done. The lovely 100 mph freezing winds seemed to just make their session a little bit more fun and forced us to get creative with trying to keep Joy’s hair down and Corey’s fingers from going numb. Congrats Joy and Corey, it was great getting to know you two!

What a lovely day it is outside today! I’m loving that it is still light outside and for some reason it’s getting me excited about shooting some fabulous weddings this summer. Springtime is one of my favorite times of the year and I can’t wait to start sprucing up our yard with some color.
Earlier today my husband laid on the couch to take a nap while I labored over making him a PB&J. I decided to join him instead of making lunch and this is what he said: “Get off the couch, there is no room and I was here first.” As soon as that came out of his mouth we both busted up laughing because what he just said sounded like it came from a 2 year old. So a few times today I randomly said “I was here first” to make him laugh. I am so thankful to God for the little things in life and wanted to share just a few of my favorite little things with you on this lovely spring day (despite missing a precious hour of sleep last night). Who knows maybe this will turn into a series of posts. Happy Sunday!!

Tulips are my favorite flower ever!! So elegant and simple! If I could I would fill my house with them year round.
I like old fashioned looking jars for some reason. I think my mom passed this love on to me.
This little favorite thing means the most to me. When I was a little girl my Grandmother would keep one just like this on her wood stove and I loved to play with it. We spotted this one at a Cracker Barrel some time ago and as soon as I saw it I have to have it. At that time Eric and I were dating and he bought it for me.
I would cook little pieces of hot dogs in the frying pan. What a good little cook I was. Let me tell you, my hot dog pieces were to die for.
Went to the park last week with Joy and Corey for their engagement session and had a great time watching them laugh at each other throughout the session. Towards the end I had them jump on the playground equipment for a few quick photos and they did this cute little position on the bridge. More photos to come soon!
Every time Abby from Nadia Cakes in Palmdale calls me to photograph one of her fabulous creations I am amazed as soon as I see the cake. This last weekend I shot a cake they made for a Bridal Shower to showcase the couple’s travels together and it was stunning!! Every last bit of it is edible and the paintings on the top and side of the cake were all hand painted by Jessica at Nadia Cakes. I love the detail in the cake! Be sure to stop by and see their beautiful store and grab yourself a few cupcakes. They are de-lish!

Last week I was able to take photos of this lovely family at a park in Palmdale, California. The mom, Abby is the owner of Nadia Cakes in Palmdale and I was absolutely delighted when she asked me to take their family photos. We had a great time and bribed the girls by telling them they could play on the playground after we were finished taking pictures. Naomi and Nadia thought that it was a great bribe but Maya wasn’t so sure. Thank you guys for the great time! You are a beautiful family!

Nadia is a pro at the serious look. She was taking a break here and she looked so cute.
Maya was having a rough day but at least she has sisters that love her!!
