I knew I could do better with the ferris wheel shots from Tara and Kevin's engagement session...I just learned how to exposure bracket in PS and I'm lovin the results.
Ta-da.....


Check out the detail in the sky that I was able to bring back by bracketing this shot! Compare this to my first attempt at editing this shot...


I pretty excited about this...
I can't wait to see the prints.

James Ryan's first 4th!

James Ryan had a great time on the 4th of July. He loved playing in the sand at the Grove and he also tried a few new foods.

He LOVES watermelon;)

6*25 is a great day...

It's the birthday of one of the greatest men in the world, my hero, my Dad....



He's just the best! When I think about my Dad, I think of someone who always encouraged me, sacrificed so much to make sure that my family had everything we needed, instilled in us values such integrity, perseverance, and hard work.

He always made me feel special, and loved..and he was never too tired to play
catch:-}

I'm so lucky to have him :-}

Happy birthday Dad!

more t & k

i'm still going through and editing these but found a few more favorites....





t&k I'm anxious to hear which one's you like:-}

Kids @ Heart...

We went on a few rides in AC last night. It's safe to say that Tara and I were a little too excited about the rides, especially the Fun Slide. I'll admit, I felt a little out of place considering we were the oldest people in line by 20+ years...but it was oh so worth it:-}

T & K

Tara, Kev, and I went to AC to take a few engagement photos....here are just a few for now....

'S' is for Sweet...

and Samantha. Could she be any cuter? I think not:)




LJ and I hung out with Sam and Taryn today at Travers Island. Sam is talking a lot now and has such a personality!
It was so nice and we can't wait to see them again in a few weeks!

Ok, this one is funny, she's thinking..."Get the camera out of my face lady!"



:) Hope you're all having a great weekend!

Andrew and Steven are Almost Famous!!!!

Andrew and Steven's band The Tracks, have their first official 'gig' next week!! Do you believe it??? So fun!!
They're playing at the Star Lounge in the Chelsea Hotel in NYC.

Check out the band's myspace profile here to listen to a few of their covers.

Congrats guys, I'm so proud of you and can't wait to come to a show!

The Boss

Don't let this sweet, happy face fool you...one wrong move and you could have a temper tantrum on your hands:) I thought tantrums were for 2 year olds, no one warned me that 9 month olds can throw a tantrum with the best of them.


James Ryan is so funny, he has been cracking us up this week. He learned to dance and bops up and to music, it's so cute.
What's not cute is when you take something away that he's not supposed to have (ie - car keys, power strips, and other potentially dangerous items)...watch out, he throws a little fit, kicking, back arching, yelling. It's funny for 3 seconds the first time, not so much after that.

Meet TAS

We met him for the fist time tonight and he is such a cutie. His name is tommy just like his daddy, but for now he goes by his initials "T.A.S." Too cute:) I l.o.v.e him...

We can't wait to visit him in San Diego (his home town) hello Sea World and Disney Land!
