This little one was so stinkin’ cute! I just loved this moment of her looking at the flower. Do you think she found a ladybug?

Photograpy quote of the week:

To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. – Elliott Erwitt

This dad was so adorable with his baby girl. It was so much fun to watch him sing to her and play with her. This is definitely a dad who is head over heels for his new little baby girl.

So my 3 happy things this week are:

1. Getting a pedicure…ahhhh what could be better than pretty pink toe nails?
2. Roasting marshmallows in my backyard firepit. We got a firepit to go with our new patio furniture. It is wonderful and tonight the kids roasted marshmallows on it.
3. 3 whole days off! What a great weekend we had…BBQs, shopping, movies (Ironman and Indiana Jones), Wicked, dinner out with my hubby, yummy warm brownies and friends…

This blogging everyday thing is just about killing me! It is so hard to come up with new things to blog about. So today I thought I’d just update you on what’s going on at the studio.

New Studio Location:
Yes I have made the jump to a new location for the studio. Our new studio in Aliso Viejo is complete! We are open. Yippee! It took us three months to get it ready, but we are finally up and running. Thanks to my wonderfully talented hubby and his brother, it is beautiful and ready to go. It is so much better and gives us the chance to grow. We have a large camera room with many more backdrop options and a beautiful preview room where you will view your images by projection. We will now be booking in person preview appointments for your ordering sessions. I can’t wait for you to see it. I am just waiting to get all of my displays up on the walls and I will pick a date for the open house. Honestly, it will probably be early July before we get it together (where on earth has this year gone?). But I promise, there will be more details to come and it will be a fun event for all!

Schedule:
We are now booking appointments in July. Family sessions are picking up and we are gearing up for the fall family portrait season which should be a great one this year. Please keep in mind, you need to book your appointment 6 weeks in advance to get the date you want. (If you have a newborn, please call and we will do our best to squeeze you in.) We are so sorry about this, but we can only do so many clients a week to keep up the level of service you expect and deserve!

We’ll be doing mini sessions at Hush Baby in Aliso Viejo the weekend of June 6-7th, Hush Baby Huntington Beach on June 20-21st and Hush Baby Tustin July 11-12th. There are still appointments available, so please call the store directly if you’d like to book a mini session.

The studio will be CLOSED from July 30th – August 14th for our summer vacation.

I think that’s it for now. We are looking forward to a busy summer and fall portrait season. It’s our favorite time of the year around here!

Here’s a sneak peek for one of my Hush Baby Tustin clients. This one’s for you N!

I am posting early today, because I actually have an entire weekend off!!!! This is amazing because I work every weekend and don’t ever really get to enjoy it with my family. We’ll because of the holiday, I took it off. This week was my 19th wedding anniversary (I know, I know…I don’t look that old!) and my hubby and I are off to celebrate. Today we are headed to LA to see Wicked! I am so excited and can’t wait to see what I have heard is a fantastic show. The rest of the weekend will be pretty low key around here, but I’ve got some fun plans up my sleeve. Lots of movies I want to see, some BBQing and maybe an evening walk on the beach. Have a great weekend everyone!

Absolutely A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E !!!!!

No words, just a cool belly shirt (uh, I mean shot).
