Summer Storm....

I love the rain from a summer storm. I can do without the thunder, though!

Today I was out at the park practicing with my teammates. We could hear the thunder in the distance...a few lightning strikes far away. Then it started to get closer. And the rain began to fall lightly. I was walking in from the outfield to pick up some balls and I saw a huge strike of lightning come down! And seconds later the CRACK AND ROAR of the thunder. Everyone else started walking in and then the rain began to come down in buckets. We were all scrambling to protect gloves, shoes, etc. and took refuge under the edge of the bathrooms. The park workers had their shed open and offered us shelter. How nice!

Later on in the day, it was safe to go out and I snapped this picture. I love how the clouds looked and the colors in the sky. Home is so beautiful!

August is only two days away... my husband kicks it off with his birthday, and for the next five months we have birthday season. Can't wait!

Summer Pregnancy...

I'll never forget being pregnant in the summer. It was while we were waiting for our house to be built. Every weekend we would come up and I would swear that I would never ever be pregnant in the desert heart again.
Well, I haven't... and I am always sympathetic when I see pregnant women during the desert heat season. Although this year its been pretty mild, I hope their child is thankful for Mom's sacrifice!
These portraits were taken in the Victorville Studio, so basically an indoor photo session :)
This maternity client absolutely glowed! Pregnancy looks good on her for sure!





It was really difficult to decide which ones to put on the blog! Such a beautiful lady carrying a precious gift. I can't wait for the newborn session :)

One more week of July! The weather gives little hints that its going to warm up, and then it doesn't last! I would still like to do a special something with the business before I go on vacation... lots of ideas pouring in but I have to find one that is affordable and feasible!

I hope everyone has a great week!

its a bugs life

my son always finds interesting things at the park. Today it was a giant caterpillar. I told him to keep it away from me, and he was content to just sit and watch it wiggle around.

Summer is almost over???

This has definitely been a summer to remember! There really hasn't been scorching hot temps and I have hardly been home to use my air conditioning (although its set on auto so I have come home late at night to find it on and no one home!)

My daughter's team did FABULOUS in all-stars! They were in the championship game for the State Championship and they lost :( But we are sooo proud of her!

All-Stars took a lot of shooting time away, but a couple of weeks ago I was able to do a session with this family. They are great people and we had fun during this session!





a fun out-take


Thanks for coming in you guys!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~

Now that tournaments are done, I have more time for sessions! I would really like to book my August calendar before we go on vacation in September. So I will be doing a few mini sessions that are themed... stay tuned!

No NFL?

Seriously, people will be bummed if the NFL and the players can't reach an agreement...

But I know ONE guy who will probably not care, because he has something way better to look at than a bunch of sweaty guys in tight pants...

His lady! Looking very HAWT in his Raiders jersey!
These pictures are definitely not telling the whole story, but anything else would not be appropriate for me to post on the blog!






Yes, guys this is one VERY lucky man!

Start Your Engines!

Every once in a while I get small headshot requests. I feel sorry for this poor lady - she had to do a race in a full body suit! I had the air on, and I was feeling suffocated. But she looked great - and her pics came out great too!



I'm a little sad... this picture is not as crisp on the web as I would like. But you get the idea!
