Winter 2010 {Mini Sessions}

Saturdays are my favorite days. I get to sleep in, hang out with my kid, keep up with my friends on Facebook...oh, wait. Ha! That's my everyday. My bad. This last Saturday was a favorite day because I got to work!! Yes--how many people get to say that?! :) I love my work. I got to shoot 4 amazing families at a GORGEOUS garden in San Jose (thank you Rebecca for suggesting it!) and ended the day with a good girlfriend at Baja Fresh and the outlets. Kid? What kid? I kid, I kid. I love my kid. I also like the word kid. But that day, I forgot to kiss my kid goodbye. Epic fail on mommy.

...I have been up WAY too late the past couple of nights. Mat's shift at work starts at 2AM and so he is up by 1230 and out the door by 1. Me, I figure why sleep? Sleep is for sissies. I love sissies.

On Saturday I had a full afternoon of mini sessions. We all met at the Japanese Friendship Gardens in San Jose. Seriously gorgeous. The only thing that made it better were the people who were there. Check out the beautiful families below.

I really am humbled when I get repeat business. I find myself flattered at the thought that anyone would give me a second and third chance to shoot their family. Such is the case with the next two families. Oh, and if you need a good preacher--I volunteer them. ;)

Aimee and Samuel and their kaboodle. Love them!






Love this next family. Amber was three months pregnant with their daughter the last time I shot their whole family. Their daughter--she turned a year old on Saturday. Their son--he does so well to put up with my three times now. :)






This family lives in my same town and drove out to San Jose for their photos. Dorothy has the prettiest accent and makes me just want to say y'all and bless your heart. Don and Dorothy's kiddos were so cute. Full of energy, spice and their baby is only two days older than Cash! Don loves them all in a most obvious way.






My friends. I love that I can call them friends. We're um, ahem, preacher's kids together so if you see us teepeeing someone's house in the rain...we're PK's. It's what we do. ;) Aren't they a fabulous couple?





Thank you each of you for taking hours out of your day for a half hour photo shoot. I had such a good time and was so happy to see each of you.

Happy Tuesday!
