Anytime Session: Walth Family Photos in Valencia
This family photo session was done in Valencia along one of the bike trails I’ve been on since we moved here. Such a pretty area! Natalia let me know that Mike was a little camera shy and she had to talk him into taking pictures but he did great and they make for two pretty amazing parents. Sofia was such a good girl for the session too, as long as her lovely mommy didn’t go to far. 
Sofia’s yellow ruffle dress was adorable and I just loved her baby rolls too!
Nadia Cakes: Unicorn Poop Cupcake
Nadia Cakes never fails to amaze me with their clever cupcakes. Check out this awesome Unicorn Poop cupcake that will only be available on April 1st. I love the swirling colors and I love photographing her cupcakes because that also means I get to taste them. They recently won Cupcake Wars on TLC so be sure to stop by their shop and get one of their amazingly delicious cupcakes! You can check out their daily menu on their Facebook page.
Anytime Session: The Sanders Family
I can already tell that this session at Griffith Park will be one of my favorites for 2012. Meet the Sanders family! Rebecca and I grew up in the same small church in Oregon so we’ve known each other for a long time. She met her husband Erik while they were in college and sometime after they got married Erik came to work in the youth department at my church in Oregon as the church’s Youth Pastor. They are sort of my heroes and some of my favorite people on earth. As a young teen they taught me valuable lessons and helped me grow as a Christian in many ways and I’ll never forget their impact on my life. I am truly and forever thankful. Erik is now pastoring Bible Baptist Church in Everett, Washington and they came down to Southern California last week so we met up for their family session at Griffith Park in Los Angeles.
We found a few trails at the park that we liked and started walking around a bit. Rebecca had a small case of the giggles, Abby was the quiet one, Erik of course cracked a few of his brilliant jokes and Caleb was the perfect poser (that is when he wasn’t up a tree or in the bushes). I used to babysit Abby and Caleb so seeing them so grown up was weird. Time flies! I am now that lady that says “Hey, I used to babysit you and change your diapers”. I loved spending time with them and I hope you enjoy the photographs!
