Christmas Already?

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

Back in May I introduced you guys to baby Benjamin in this post. A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure again of speaking with Marina, Benjamin’s mother. She wanted to get photos done for Christmas cards, and I thought how can it be Christmas if the year just started? … yea, 11 months ago! Where does the time go.

So we met up last weekend for pictures of Benjamin along with his three cousins. Let me tell you, I’m used to chasing my kids around to snap pictures, but the pressure was on. Two babies, one three year old and a fine young man. I definitely had my work cut out for me but it was a blast! Let me share with you some of my favorite shots from that day…. the last one I die for! Now it’s time to get to work on my Christmas cards. Happy Thursday!

Christmas Eve

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

We spent Christmas Eve at my sister-in-law’s house and had a blast. She is much better than I am at getting into the spirit of the holidays when it comes to decorating. She has these great little ornaments on the tree and the theme baked goods were to die for. After a great time it was nice to look back and say goodbye to L.A. Hope you had a great time as well.



Finally!

I have always wanted a Christmas wreath on my door. Ever since I came to the U.S. a Christmas wreath just seemed like the American thing to do once you had a house. Because of the ugly ghetto fabulous security door we had at our last house for the last 6 years having a wreath was impossible. This is our first Christmas in this house and I kid you not, I stop and admire my wreath every single time I walk in the door. I LOVE IT! It makes me feel accomplished for some reason, it’s a goal of mine that I reached (as small and simple as it may seem to most of you). I finally got around to taking a few pictures of it so here they are. My beautiful wreath. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Last year around this time I decided to launch my site and really venture into photography. The last year has been a good one, full of new challenges and new beginnings.

If you were here a year ago, you will remember this post and my little house too small to host a Christmas tree. Well, we have plenty of space this year and the girls couldn’t be happier. We finally got a Christmas tree! Now the challenge this year has been keeping the candy canes on the tree and away from the 3 year old. There are only about half of the candy canes left on the tree and empty candy wrapping papers hidden all over the house.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas. Happy Thursday!


… and a Merry Christmas it was

These hands are the most talented hands you will find.  I may be bias but I am my brother’s biggest fan.  The way he evokes emotion with the simple strum of his guitar or a beautiful piece on the piano is truly a gift.
