Just Because...

So I have had some PS problems the last couple of days that have thrown my work all up in the air.  Thanks to some great photographer friends I am back up and running :)
Back to Mother's Day.  I posted a few of me and the girls but there were so many others that were so good so I am posting some more of that day!
It was so good to have family in town.  I thought it was only going to be my parents but my sister and Heidi surprised me with showing up.  The girls were SO excited to see their Nene and Heidi!!!  On top of surprising me with their arrival they gave me a gift.  I was reading and reading and kept saying "WHAT" I could not believe what I was reading.  Then the tears came and shock.....ok I will tell you 
I am going on another trip out west in JUNE....that's right another trip out west!!!!!!!!!!!  WHOAAAAA!
Me my sister and Heidi are going for six days to Utah I believe!  They want to celebrate my passion with photography and also the fun we had out in SF.  I just need to pay for my food..."What"   WHOAAAA!

Ok I am calm again.....back to pictures :)  Needless to say it was one of the best Mother's Day ever with my wonderful husband, parents, sister, Heidi and my girls!!!!!  Enjoy...

Mommy Celebration

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommies out there!!!!
I had a wonderful day with my family.  We spent the first half of the day with my husbands family and then in the afternoon my parents came for dinner and my sister and my friend Heidi surprised me with a visit and a amazing gift that I will tell you about some other time :)

Being a photographer is wonderful but you end up not being in most of the pictures!  So today I wanted to be in the pictures with my kids.  I saw this field the day before on my way home and it was filled with yellow flowers.  I wanted to do my pictures there but when we showed up today most of the flowers had closed back up so it was not exactly what I wanted but it still worked :)

My two beautiful girls and me...thanks Nene and Heidi for taking the pictures of us...enjoy

Love Love Love this picture!!!

Thank you Grandee, Papa, Nene, and Heidi for helping keep the girls happy and letting me capture some sweet pictures with them and of them!!! Love you guys....J

The Pacific Coast

Well, here are some more pictures from my trip to CA.  I hope you enjoy all the pictures... the coast was the highlight of the trip for me!!  We spent about 2 hours on one of the beaches looking for drift wood to bring back.  You're asking why???  Well my sister is a designer and things like drift wood are fun and exciting objects to use in design, so we just had too!  It was all fun until we saw a snake and the search quickly ended! LOL
The beach we were searching on had all kinds of really big dead trees laying everywhere.  My guess is they've been in the ocean for a really long time until the ocean spit them unto the shore.  They were amazing and had so many cool designs and textures to them... enjoy!!!

These shots are of the really big trees just laying there

I will end with my favorite shot of the day....I will have this hanging somewhere in my house as a large canvas print!!! Love it!!!  Stay tune for more San Fran pictures and a newborn session....J

I Left My Heart in San Fransico...

Ok I have been really bad lately about blogging but I am happy to say that I have been doing a lot of traveling lately :)
I had the chance to go to CA for six days with my sister and my friend Heidi for a girls trip.  I could not turn it down.  I have never cared for the state of CA...mainly because of Hollywood and all the actors who think their opinion matters to all of America.  Oops did I just say that :)
Anyway my heart has changed.  It is simple amazing out there and so different from the east coast!
I was blown away at the architecture, the landscape and the people.  People from San Fran are actually really nice :)  We did the tourist things for a couple of days and then we decided to rent a car and drive the coast.  I do have to say that was the best part of the trip!!  It blew my mind at how beautiful the pacific coast was.  So here are a few of my favorite pictures from the trip...this may be a long post since all of the pictures are my favorite :)  

the top picture I took on the top of the bus as we drove over the bridge...

The Coast

The Night Life

So there is just to much to post so I will leave you with this last night shot.  This was my view when I walked out of our hotel. 
I will post another day some more pictures of the coast and us having fun...make sure to come back and see all the other photos....J
