the S family

What a special time with some friends from back home.  The kidlets played as though they’ve known each other forever (and well, their mothers had known each since forever)!  In fact the kids played so hard they were pretty exhausted when it came time for their session.  As tired and as red as they were they did their best knowing that the night ended with their first In ‘N’ Out experience!  Thanks ‘S’ family for including us in your Norcal Trip!

the B family

What a dreamy location!  I only just discovered Clarksburg since the B family moved here recently.  Their beautiful new/old home is nestled in among the vineyards, only an hour away! The girls entertained themselves (and us!) by sneaking the unripe grapes, only to pucker up soon after.  Caught in the act!

The L family

I had so much fun planning this session with mom L.  She even managed to find a stylin’ beach cruiser!  So jealous…I keep waiting for my husband to come home and surprise me with one!  

After the rain ruined our plans a few weekends in a row, we finally got out one gorgeous evening and played!

Baby Z

Boy oh boys!  This poor mama is outnumbered yet again.  Introducing handsome Baby Z.  This little guy can sleep through anything…having two older brothers I suppose you’d have to!  No complaining here, definitely made my job easier!   

Thanks Poots Little Creations for the sweet dino beanie!

West Coast Bloomers

Spring in the valley, so pretty with …aaaaaaahhhhhhh choooooo…all its blooms!  You valley dwelling folk understand!  As much as we love the trees and the fruit they bear, we hate what it does for our allergies.  This is some of the new life I noticed in our yard this week…

Happy, smiling faces blooming back here too!
