baby * baby * baby

This past weekend was a busy one for us.  Colleen had a wedding to attend (as a guest - yes, that feels weird to us now) and I, Ly, shot a wedding with a friend from Artists-Eyes (pictures will be up soon).  But Sunday, the two of us were able to get together for Danny and Sharon's maternity shoot.  We had a lot of fun, tried out some indoor shots with Sharon in her beautiful sari.  We even experimented with some blocks =D


Then we headed outside to Grandparents to be's backyard for some outdoor shots.  We were able to capture some candid moments with the couple before the rain came.


 

Sharon and Danny: best of luck with the last trimester.  We can't wait to meet the baby!

Jason & Carrie

Talk about great timing. This past Saturday was amazing. The weather kept changing on us and just at the right times. Rain before the ceremony, but then it stopped, and then it started again right after we got to the reception hall. How perfect of timing is that? Mother nature was looking out that day.

Jason & Carrie are an amazing couple that I've been so fortunate to meet and know and have as friends. It was a blast to attend their wedding as a guest and to really enjoy myself and the time spent with our mutual friends. Luckily, I had most of my gear with me, so at the end of the night, we were able to capture some really cool shots out in the dark.




Jason & Carrie, many congrats to you! I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon!!

Baby # 3 - Kristy's maternity photoshoot

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon when we get to hang out with this family of 4, soon to be 5.  Right away, we found some shaded area in the park to take Kristy's belly shots :)  The baby seems to like our photoshoot as we get to witness some movement in the belly as well.  


Is it a boy or a girl, can you guess?  With baby #3 just shy of 2 month til due date, Dan and Kristy has decided to keep the sex of the baby a surprise.


The kids were a little shy at first.  But thanks to Dan, they were all smiled when it was time to take pictures with mommy.

Cheven & Jaimie

Saturday was a fun day! Top hats and Lincoln sticks...how could you go wrong?
On July 30th, 2011, Cheven and Jaimie were married! These two were a lot of fun and were just able to roll with it.....not to mention the overly dramatic best man that had phenomenal poses all day ;)


Jaimie was a beautiful bride and all smiles all day. I suppose it's sort of hard not be when you are marrying the man you love and are going to share the rest of your life with.


Green dresses and silver shoes for the bridesmaids. What a great combo! And the bride had handmade bracelets made for the ladies as well. The colors coordinated perfectly with the bouquets...which by the way...where hand made by the bride herself!! Jaimie did fantastic putting all the details together.




Wonderful day for a wonderful couple. Congrats congrats!

Sweet Little Girls!

I never knew we had a place so beautiful in this area. The gardens were lovely! These two sisters are adorable....not to mention, they are my husband's nieces ;) It's just too bad little Maya didn't want to cooperate most of the time. But that's alright, she tried SOOOooo hard to hold back smiles, but eventually gave in for a few tiny seconds. Just enough for me to catch it spot on. Thank you Kristy for bringing the girls out. I am very excited to for baby number three coming soon.





 Until we meet again!!

Frank & Ashley

Sunny and 90's. July 17th was quite an impressive day both for temperatures and this beautiful wedding. Frank and Ashley are a wonderful couple with an adorable little boy! They devoted their lives to each other this day at the Marian University Dorcas Chapel.


After a slight....but entertaining struggle to get her dress on over her very blue slip....it was almost time.


All the details were set and the rings in their place. It was time now to throw on the shoes and head outside. Ashley and Frank choose to see each other for just a few minutes before the ceremony and it was such a great moment and full of emotion.



The chapel was beautiful! Plenty of gorgeous sunlight shining through. Perfect for a small and intimate group.


Frank and Ashley, you both did a terrific job coordinating everything and hand making most of your items. It turned out great and we were so happy to be a part of your day. Best wishes to you both and your family.

Family + 1

Yesterday we had pleasure of photographing Erika and her family. She is almost due and we are very excited to see new baby when she comes out! Here is a sneek peek at some of the photographs taken.


The day started off a bit rough as it began to rain just as we first linked up...but all is good. We headed indoors instead and still came out with some memorable images. 



All hands on deck!! Beautiful concept, and the idea was given to us by Erika herself! She did so much work getting ready for the photo shoot. From hair, ideas and wardrobe...she had it all figured out. Gotta love organization!



Congrats to your family. We are so happy we can capture the true beauty and nature of motherhood.
