Charlyn . Rancho Palos Verdes maternity and newborn photographer

What a gorgeous setting to celebrate a new baby girl that will be coming into this world in about 5 weeks... visiting the Terranea Resort in RPV makes you feel like you are on vacation!  12 women came to celebrate the mom-to-be over brunch, mimosas, and mini cupcakes from Becker's Bakery.

Family at Fonz's

Fonz's used to be our spot, a fabulous restaurant in Manhattan Beach that Todd and I have loved since we met.  Tonight, we brought the girls to share our "spot" with them.  We had wine, they had paper cups with milk.  We ate filet, they ate mac n cheese.  The evening was so beautiful, we ended it with a run up and down the beach.  What a perfect start to the weekend!

Charlie, Annie, Henry + Lucy . Rolling Hills Estates children's photographer

I love this horse lovin' family ~ their mom makes having 4 kids look super easy!  Makes even me feel like I could do it (let's not start talkin' crazy now...).  I said, "bring your cowboy and cowgirl gear, and we'll take some pictures."  Can you imagine we even got a few shots with a horse that came for a bit of exercise?  What luck! 

Melinda + Alfonso . Manhattan Beach engagement photographer

Oh yes, I remember the feelings I had when I first got engaged...it's blissful, happy, and you feel like you are riding on a cloud!  This couple is absolutely darling, and so in love.  They have set their wedding date for April 1st, 2011, and it is no joke that they are BOTH so excited!!

Hermosa Beach Farmer's Market

We went to the Hermosa Beach farmer's market today to pick up some fresh fruits and veggies...left with strawberry lemonade, a snow cone, and flowers for my little ones. We tasted fresh peaches, cherries, and strawberries, even pluots, which are a combination of a plum and an apricot. Strange, but delish!
