A Johnson Family Christmas, Menifee
Oh this family
Another Year of Babies, Brides, and BBQ (November & December)
Good morning 2014! And with the close of 2013, here is my last Babies, Brides, and BBQ post! It's been a fun 2 years documenting all my new little loves that have been born, following the love of brides to be's, and of course the craziness that is this BBQ world we have found ourselves deep within. Hope you're enjoying this first day of this brand new year! Babies! My little baby section is just growing and growing and growing!! Jameson In celebration of this little guy turning 2 yesterday, we went out for some frozen yogurt just like we did 2 years ago the night before Courtney went into labor. This little guy has the sweetest voice, and is so incredibly smart from knowing his letters to his shapes, even including the crescent moon. :) Thank you Mama Coco and Little Jmo for a night out of blueberry topped fro-yo and the showing off all your new 2 year old tricks! Owen Well this darling boy now says "Andy" and "Sam" among many more words in his ever widening vocabulary. And he still has us wrapped around his slightly less chubby fingers as well
Amelia’s 6 Month Christmas Photos, Menifee Baby Photography
Oh my I have fallen so deeply in love with this sweet little girl. I'd like to think that I'm a special auntie and the only one who gets these adorable smiles out of her, but she really is just a happy happy baby! Hope you enjoy these sweet photos as much as I enjoyed taking them! Let's start with my favorite
Rachel and Amelia’s Bedroom in the Trees, Mama and Baby Photography
This photo shoot came to being when Rachel and her little babe stayed the weekend at my house. Seeing them snuggled up together in bed sparked an idea to make a little outdoor bed complete with a wooden pallet headboard, a bedroom among the trees if you will. We definitely were just "winging" it the day we scampered about town looking for a location and finally found this grove of trees within a 5 minute drive from my house. In my head I pictured our little sleepy baby from Amelia's newborn and 3 month photos, but of course the little miss was wide awake
Another Year of Babies, Brides, and BBQ (September & October)
I can't believe this crazy year is coming to a close! With this update, a brand new friend was born (Baby Molly, another girl thankfully!!) and with the next update I will be posting about the Pankratz wedding day, with a photo of my best friend in that glorious wedding dress of hers! I can't believe the big day is almost here, like literally its just 3 days away! And then its Thanksgiving and then Christmas and New Years and hello 2014! Babies! My little baby section is just growing and growing and growing!! Owen (and Eli) I seriously can't say it enough, I love having this adorable family as nearby neighbors! Getting the chance to see these boys growing up on the week to week basis is such a huge blessing for both Andy and myself. They even stopped by on the morning of my birthday with a card, cupcake and a balloon. Along with Owen giving me a hand picked flower and Eli giving me a drawing he made. My heart is full, that's for sure. Okay I just have to share one more photo of Owen, and his whole family all dressed up in their Halloween costumes, from this past weekend
Amelia’s 3 Month Portraits, Outdoor Newborn Photography, Lake Elsinore
Oh how this little babe loves to sleep! When we took Miss Amelia's photos at 1 week old, she wouldn't wake up for anything
Another Year of Babies, Brides, and BBQ (July & August)
I really thought life couldn't be crazier than it was last year, but this year has seriously been insane! I am so blessed with the work that I have been doing and get to do, but I am ever so thankful for these babies and being the matron of honor to my best friend bride to be, Amie! Oh and I guess I am thankful for BBQ too. ;) Babies! My little baby section is just growing and growing and growing!! Jameson Oh how I missed this sweet boy
Amelia Celine, Newborn Photography and Birth Announcement, with her Mama Rachel
Miss Amelia made her debut a few weeks early, gracing us with her presence on June 8, just weeks after her baby shower. Rachel and I wasted no time in getting together for photos exactly on her one week birthday. The little princess did not want to show us her skin but I did manage to snap my favorite photo before we bundled her back up! She just loved being close to her mama
Another Year of Babies, Brides, and BBQ (May & June)
I really thought life couldn't be crazier than it was last year, but this year has seriously been insane!

Oh and I guess I am thankful for BBQ too. ;) Babies! My little baby section is just growing and growing and growing!! Owen This is the Chunk as we all affectionately call Owen. He has just been growing and growing, and getting so tall! I love having them as our neighbors, seeing him each week has just been the biggest blessing for Andy and me. And having him "wow us" with walking into our arms on the last day of June, couldn't get better than that! :) This first photo is from our BBQ pool party we had in May, look at that chunk. Adorable! And then next photo is at Owen's big brother Eli's 5th birthday party this past weekend. I love how this photo sums up his personality and the way we think of Owen, belly out and guns blaring all with a smile
Once Upon a Time, Rachel’s Fairytale DIY Baby Shower
Okay now that you've seen Rachel's maternity photos at Disneyland and you've officially been invited, now you're ready to see the baby shower in all its storybook glory! Rachel didn't want the traditional "cutesy" type shower—and I am right there with her. We definitely aligned in the rustic and eclectic vision for the shower
