Zambia... here I come!

It's official. (I just bought my ticket a few hours ago!) At the end of April, I'll be heading to Zambia to visit my cousin, Caitlin. I can't wait!!!

Spidey Max

Wonder. Excitement. Anticipation. Energy. All of the things a kid's birthday party should be. This party was all of those things and more! Happy Birthday, "Spidey Max!" I had so much fun shooting and hanging out with these kids. There was so much going on, it was hard to keep up with them! The day was filled with a visit from Spiderman, a fun jumping castle, balloons, face painting, silly string, a Spiderman piñata, and so much more. Here are a few photos from the day.

Welcome, Kaitlyn!

She gave everyone a bit of a surprise, arriving 3 weeks earlier than expected... ...but now that I've seen her, I understand why. That's just WAY too much cuteness to be kept away from the world any longer! My dear friends Jaime and Bryn are the proud new parents of this little sweetie. Congrats, you guys! And welcome to the world, Kaitlyn! A few weeks ago, I got to meet miss K when she was just a couple days old. I also had the privilege of joining the family as they gave Kaitlyn her first bath - it was so much fun to observe this special moment. This was too precious - when dad saw that Kaitlyn wasn't too happy about bath time, he brought over a little toy to help the situation... (isn't that just so sweet?)

Happy Easter!

On a day of celebrating life and new beginnings... I thought it would be fitting to post a few images of my sweet little nephew. Happy Easter, everyone! PS- Isn't my little sis so cute? I love her smokin' new haircut! Love you, K! ;)

KISS 'n tell all

Our boudoir photo shoot in Vegas was a total blast. We had a great turnout, and it was so much fun shooting in an area that is completely new and different than what we're used to. If you want to check out our boudoir work, contact me and I'll send you the info. Thanks to all of you who made it to the shoot, and thanks to the guys over at KISS Wedding Books for hosting us!

Bellies!

The three of us were completely inseparable through four years of college. Walking to classes, eating meals in the cafeteria, teammates on the soccer field... we were pretty much connected at the hips. When people referred to us, it was usually all of our names combined into one: "kimeejaimeanderin." These 2 gals are amazing. Their friendship means so much to me; and I am SO very happy for them - they're both adding new additions to their families! Check out their cute bellies... Note: Jaime actually just had her little cutie (Congrats, you guys!)... But I just love their bellies, couldn't hold back from posting them. Love you, E & J!

Fun times at WPPI

In Vegas right now for WPPI - such a whirlwind already! If you've sent me an email, please be patient... I'll get back to all emails and calls on Friday the 21st. Thanks!

Isn't love grand?

I love hearing love stories... I love it when my friends fall in love... I just love - well, love. Here's a cute couple who's very much in love, going on five years of marriage! Yay! My good friends Zach and Lisa. They're so cute! So sweet, and so much fun to hang out with. When they were visiting San Diego a few weeks ago, I forced them to let me take a few pictures at the beach. Here's my fav:

Speaking of Anthropologie...

If you're going to be at WPPI this month, stop by bludomain's booth! You just might be one of the recipients of blu's "random acts of kindness mission"!!!
(And if you get MY gift, you can buy my favorite candle!)

What a dork

As soon as I smelled it, I HAD to buy it. As soon as I got in the car, I pulled it out of the crisp blue tissue paper and set it on my lap. And at every chance I could get - whenever I stopped at a red light on the drive home, I held it up to my nose for a big whiff. This candle from Anthropologie is the greatest candle in the world. I just bought it the other day, and it's currently burning in my office. In fact, I've been burning it pretty much nonstop since I brought it home. I'm in love. And yes, I do realize how utterly dorky it is to write an entire post about the love I have for a candle. ;)
