nickels family

i love that i have been able to re-connect with old friends by taking photos! sunni was my neighbor at 11 years through college. she and her husband have a new baby on the way and a big brother ready to help. :) they are so easy, playful and sweet. we took these at CSUCI on a beautiful afternoon.

Guillen munchkins

i had such a great afternoon taking photos of my friend Staci's two little ones. they were spunky, funny and oh-so adorable. it was fun to spend an hour getting to know them and seeing their personalities shine through!

my three pumpkins

a crisp fall morning at the pumpkin patch. these are the days that i cherish, these holiday traditions. next year we will have one more pumpkin to love.

an afternoon with my camera

wine country with the family, just a perfect day

we decided to take the kids to wine country over the holiday weekend. what a lovely time we had. a picnic lunch, bottle of wine for mom and dad, miniature ponies, the park, solvang, and running into a dear college friend. what a great day it was!
