My Goddaughter

I haven't put anything new here lately so here's something I captured a few days ago. This is my Goddaughter Arianna. I haven't seen her much lately even though we live like 10 minutes apart. I have been extremely busy now that I have a Kindergardener and all. My schedule usually revolves around his. But on Monday she came over with my BFF. She was shy at first after not seeing me in like a month. Hence the pose I got from her. Either way I think she's beautiful. And she'll be a year old on Dec 4th. Wow how time flies! She was born premature 7 weeks and you wouldn't be able to tell now. She's EXACTLY 4 months older than my Arielle... and it's fun to see them growing together.

Quading Near Lake Pleasant

My brother-in-law has a few quads and he invited us to go ride them up near Lake Pleasant. He bought food, drinks, and snack and we had a little bbq while out there. The day was so gorgeous I literally thought we were in a painting when we arrived to our location. The sky was so blue, the trees were so green, and the clouds were a perfect combination of fluffy white and deep dark grey. It was gorgeous the whole day.

Halloween Portraits

Usually for every holiday my kids have a certain outfit to wear and I always try and get a picture of them wearing it. For Halloween, I bought all three of my kids shirts to wear during the day. They looked so cute and I couldn't resist taking them outside for a photoshoot. In my head I had it all planned out. Well... both girls fell asleep and being that they are very cranky when woken up... I decided I better let them sleep. But before I knew it the afternoon was gone and there was almost no light outside. I made the decision to wake them up and take them outside for a photoshoot anyway. Surprisingly they cooperated! So here's my pictures. Oh and sorry for the lint on baby Arielle's black shirt... I had just washed her blanket before putting her down for a nap!

Venice Beach

While on vacation in California visiting relatives... my Dad decided that he wanted to take a trip to Venice Beach. I hadn't been there since I was a kid so I definitely wanted to go. So we gathered out group and went. It was so much fun! It was Arielle's, my younger daughter, first time to the beach! I took nearly 250 pictures that day. These are just some of my favorites.
