Your New Friend Sam, Etsy Shop: Rubber Stamps for Shops
What I love most about shopping on Etsy are the personal relationships you develop with your customers and other shop owners. Each shop has a face to the name and although the shops create a market that span continents, it feels like a small little community! Since Christmas is coming ever so quickly, I thought I'd share about a few of my clients that bought stamps from me for their own Etsy shops, and real life shops! If you have a moment, or two, settle in with a nice cup of coffee and check them out! Maybe get some early holiday shopping done! Lacey Osojo of Hum Right Along www.etsy.com/shop/humrightalong I loved working with Lacey on her stamp! Plus I was so honored and smitten to read her blog post on her stamp! Like over the moon, can not believe my eyes in shock, happy! Since then we have been blogging and Instagram friends! So fun! Anyway, take a looksie around her shop

Family Chemistry, Summer Series at Calvary Chapel Canyon Hills
Our pastor, Josh Black, writes: Be honest. Marriage & Family are the hardest things you'll ever do in life, but they can also be the most rewarding. Lots of families need help but don't know what to do. I can't wait to share what the Bible gives as the ingredients to a successful home. This next Sunday—and through the rest of the month, our church is launching into a 4 week series on family, marriage, raising kids, and even how to handle stress in life, like time management. And I just wanted to share some of the graphics created for the series
Remi’s 3 Month and Trembly Family Photos at Santa Rosa Plateau
Years and years ago, like 12 years ago, this loud and energetic and FUN girl was in a dance class I assisted in. Fast forward a few years and I come to find out she actually went to the church and was friends with my hubby and my new found group of friends. We were even in our friends wedding in the fall of 2012 together! And fast foward another couple years and here were are on a gorgeous summer day photographing her new family of 3! It's amazing what God does in our lives, the gifts he gives from friends to family. Hope you enjoy these photos of little Remi and her loving parents, Gillian and Drew. And thanks Auntie Yoyo for assisting us that day, I am ever so thankful! We started with my version of baby photos, outside with blankets
Splish Splash, Amelia’s Under the Sea First Birthday Bash

Amelia’s One Year Birthday Photos at the Beach
Little Miss Amelia turned one earlier this month! And for Mia's birthday photos, we wanted to head down to the beach to take photos that we could use as decoration at her Under the Sea birthday party. I know that she's pointing at her grandma behind me, but I like to think she's saying "I'm one!" (P.S. Thanks Grandma Kim for being THE BEST assistant ever!) I love this girl's smile! She just loves life, and is curious about everything! She has the heart for adventure! Once we got closer to the beach itself, it was time for a wardrobe change! Rachel made Mia these adorable crowns for the photoshoot
Matt and Amie’s Pregnancy Announcement Photos and Card Design
Last week, my best friend finally let the cat baby out of the bag! She's expecting her first little babe this December! Before she even found out that she was pregnant, she had told me that she had wanted to take these feet photos with their little pup (okay she's not that little now, remember these Christmas photos??) So of course I am so excited to meet my new little niece, or nephew. I'm already dreaming of the cuddles, photo shoots, Disneyland trips, and mini milestones all along the way. And of course, dreaming of the baby shower!! It feels like just yesterday that I was immersed in all things pink and cherry blossoms! Now, don't you worry, I'm sure I'll be posting all along the way
