We are so lucky!!! While we were in California this past week, we stayed with our best friends: The Lyon Family. They have so much going for them. Justin is getting ready for Yo Gabba Gabba to explode and Amelia probably did 80 weddings this year and has 80 for next year. She is taking the OC Weddings to another level!!! And to make their lives even more busy, we begged them for a family session since we have never had one. They did not disappoint!!! We are so excited to start using these photos on our new website (which will be debuting Jan. 1st, 2007) and our marketing materials. It was also awesome that Maddux was such a perfect guy and has now been able to sit up. He usually sits up for long amounts of time which is so cute!!! Thanks Amelia + Justin!!! We owe you big time!!! View their blog post about us HERE.





























The Lyon Family Rules!!!
Every year we really look forward to the Holiday Season!!! We love to get together with family and eat great food. Angie is also a Christmas baby. She was born on December 25, 1980 and I love the oppurtunity to spoil her even more!!! We also have been really good friends with The Candiotti family for about 6 years. They have been so good to us and we are so grateful for them. It’s just great to see the boys growing up. It’s gone by really fast.
But we always look forward to the Candiotti Christmas Party every year. Their are so many good people that we enjoy there and Tom makes it special for not only the grown ups, but he asks Santa to come make an early appearance for all of the 30-40 kids. This was the first year that we busted out our cameras. We just got a new point and shoot so it was really fun to test that out. Well here are some of our favorite photos from the day!!! Thanks Tom for always inviting us!!!

We had a blast with Shannon yesterday. As our business has grown, we keep learning more about how to be efficient and keep our clients satisfied. We are not the greatest album designers. So we have decided to allow our newest Albums to be designed by a professional. This professional is Shannon Rice from Riso Studio. We wanted everyone of our future clients to get to know her as well as those who are waiting for their albums to be designed. We really have so much trust in her!!! This is going to allow us to have more time for our clients and building our business.
So to introduce her, we wanted to do a session with her. We also wanted her to get to know our style and overall vision. Thanks Shannon for the wonderful day.
























Thanks Shannon for helping us find these awesome new locations to shoot at!!!
