We were happy to celebrate a first birthday at the studio with this little cutie pie! He was a guy on the go, let me tell you! I love this age because they are so interested in everything (and sometimes they are interested in everything BUT me! haha) He was sure to always stay close to mom, it was so cute! And of course we had to do our traditional cake smash photos!

He was a little unsure about the cake at first...
but soon discovered all the yummy goodness inside...
...with a little help from mom!

So randomly one day I decided I needed to have a weekly "thing" to do on the blog besides just posting about some of our latest sessions that we have had and then it hits me.........(cue awesome super hero type music) FUN FACT FRIDAY!!!!! (oooohhhhhh, aaaaahhhhhhh)
So every friday I will be posting a fun fact for you to enjoy. It could be about us, or our company, or about photography in general, or about anything else under in sun (hmm....or maybe even the sun! *mental note*). Just something that I may (or may not) find interesting that week! And since this is our first week of "Friday Fun Fact" we have a DOUBLE Fun Fact for you!
This week our Fun Facts will be something you may or may not have known about us!
Fun Fact #1: Ron was a sponsored BMX racer for 10 years (starting around age 8), winning over 20 national championships!
Fun Fact #2: Courtney worked for the Disneyland Resort for 5 year as an attraction host (in both Disneyland and Californa Adventure) as well as a Guest Relations Tour Guide, a choreographer for Disney's annual charity event "Flashback" and a dancer in Disney's Electrical Parade!

Hope you enjoyed our special DOUBLE Fun Fact Friday!!!

I have been so excited for this session! Baby Sofia was a pure joy to photograph! She was a rockstar! As soon as her mommy put her to sleep she was out for the whole session! She loves to have her hands up by her face it was just too cute!!! She is 6 days old and it's the perfect time to do these portraits because she can still curl up (or stretch out as she liked to show us many times....I see a dancer in her future! hehe) and she doesn't mind being turned in different positions because of the deep sleep she was in.
It was so hard to narrow it down but here are a few of my favorites...
I fell in love with every little wrinkle in her skin! I love these precious little ones!
And of course like any little girl, we had to play dress up! Such a cute little teddy bear!
Just chill'n....(I secretly think she was imagining herself on the beach in the California sun!)
To her mommy and daddy, it was such a pleasure! I can't wait for you to see all the portraits! And I can only imagine how much fun her next session at 3 months will be!

On Saturday July 17, 2010 at 5:17pm I became an Aunt!!! Now you may be thinking "Wow thats great!" but you may not understand just HOW great it really is!!!
I am an only child and I was blessed to be able to live right next door to my aunt, uncle and two cousins (us kids were just 3 years apart, me being the oldest) so growing up I never really felt like an only child because I always had someone to play with right next door. And the best part was if I didn't want to play anymore then I could just go home and have my own space. hehe So I really had the best of both worlds! But as I got older I came to the realization that I was never going to be that "cool aunt". I was very close to my aunt and uncle and I wanted to have a family of my own with those same kind of relationships where my mom and aunt were close and the whole family would take trips everywhere and I ALWAYS had my cousins to count on. Well lucky for me I found my wonderful husband who is one of 3 kids and guess what.......yep, I'M AN AUNT!!!!! My sister-in-law and her husband welcomed a beautiful baby girl on Saturday and I was lucky enough to be there for it! I'm so happy for them and it's the first grandbaby for my in-laws so it's a BIG DEAL!
Congratulations to the new parents and beautiful baby girl! She definately made a dramatic entrance and I'm sure it's just a hint of whats to come! I can't wait till she can say "Aunt Courtney" (after mommy and daddy of course) and I'm happy to babysit anytime! hehe I know my family and theirs are very close with aunts, uncles and cousins and we cherish those relationships! I can't wait to see how our relationship will grow!

Liam is official one! We did our popular "cake smash" session with him and it was a blast! We could not stop cracking up the whole time! I love the first birthday session because not only is it such a big deal for the family, but it's a huge milestone and we LOVE celebrating it with everyone! This session was extra special because today was his ACTUAL birthday! I just love that I got to be a small part of his special day and I got to experience his very first taste of cake! (Mom made sure to wait till this big day to let him try cake and it was SOOOO worth it!)
These first two images are two of my all time favorite images! Kudos to Dad for bring in the bag prop! I was told "he loves bags" and boy were they right!
He didn't want to get too close to the cake, it was so funny!
After some coaching from us he finally decided to dive in.....
It was such a pleasure to celebrate with the birthday boy and his family!!! I look forward to many more celebrations!!!
