Here are some more pictures from our mini-getaway to Palm Springs for New Years. It was so nice and relaxing, the weather was amazing, and we loved spending time with our friends!
I also put together this little video of our trip. Jeremy and I don’t usually exchange gifts for Christmas. Instead, we usually decide on something to get for the both of us. This year we picked up a Contour Roam video camera and brought it along for the trip. It’s been a fun little camera to use and it added some cool perspectives to the video. Enjoy!





Stopped by the Parker Palm Springs for brunch.



Lounged around the pool in the loveliest SoCal winter weather.





Hiked around Joshua Tree National Park and caught a beautiful sunset!













Before heading home, we had to stop by and see the Cabazon Dinosaurs.

Just got some albums in recently and wanted to share them with you. The first one is an engagement book from Karen & Greg’s engagement session, and the second is an album from Rocco’s first year. They are both custom designed and professionally printed. LOVE how they turned out! I seriously wanted to keep them for myself.
Books and albums are a great way to showcase photos from your wedding or portrait session and are included in some of my packages or available as add-ons. Let me know if you have any questions about them. =)

Gonna kick off the year with a looonngg overdue post that I’ve been meaning to blog for a long time. A while back I had the wonderful opportunity of capturing Rocco’s first year! We did a session with him every 3 months, starting from when he was born. It was amazing to see how he was growing and changing throughout his first year!
He was so teeny tiny at first, and then before I knew it he was smiling and sitting up, and then crawling all over the place. At his 1 year portrait session, he had just started walking and he loved it! He literally would not sit still. I got a good workout chasing him around!
Here are a few selections from each session. I also designed an album for his first year which I’ll post a few pics of soon. Enjoy!
