Meet the Ewart’s new addition…Patrick. Patrick is seven months old and such a bundle of total cuteness. Keri and Jeff add to the family their sense of humor and their love of laughing. They are such an adorable family – throw in Dexter, the pup who stops all skate boarders in their tracks, and you’ve got the Ewart family! I’ve known Keri for some time now and it’s amazing to see her go from blushing bride to mom of a seven month old baby! And let’s not forget Jeff…handsome dad to Patrick and one of the funniest people I have ever met. He makes me laugh in mere seconds…and he has the same effect on Patrick. Check out this beautiful family…and Keri, I will meet you at the bar for a Big Ginger…

Easily stated…I have a sweet tooth. If I could describe my addiction to sweet treats, it would not be just a sweet tooth, it would be more like a sweet mouth.  I firmly believe that dessert should follow every meal, everyday.  And you know what they say about people who don’t like sweets…they’re crazy (and you can’t trust them…no, just kidding!).

Growing up, I always remembered someone saying that it would be great to have a friend who was a lawyer, a doctor, an auto mechanic…but what about a baker…a treat maker!?  While I don’t know many lawyers, doctors or auto mechanics, I do know a special treat maker and she is a near and dear friend of mine.  She makes me treats for my photography business, my personal business..heck, she makes me treats for whatever my heart desires!

So, if you’re out there looking for a treat maker for whatever occasion, check out Moore Sweets.  Kelley is amazing, very talented and she herself is a sweetheart.  Her treats are made with the best and yummiest ingredients and best of all, her treats are made with love!  Check out the latest tasty treats she made me for an anniversary gift I was sending out…and if you’re interested in some treats, Kelley can be reached via email:  cali_kelley@yahoo.com

Midwest boy meets his California girl…meet Jackie and Kevin, they are absolutely adorable and so in love.  Isn’t it great when real life sounds just like the movies?  I met up with these two lovebirds a few weekends ago…we started the day at the Mission San Juan Capistrano and moved our way north to downtown Santa Ana.  With an awesome wedding party in tow, these two were having the best time of their lives on the biggest day of their lives.

Congratulations Jackie and Kevin…you two are truly fabulous.

Meet Deanna…proud and fabulous mother of three boys:  Mack, Merrick and Maverick.  The bond that these boys share with each other and with their mother is inevitable.  It’s my awww moment – these photographs make me smile.  I met up with Deanna and her boys on a Sunday evening for this session and let me tell you, the boys were rip roarin’ ready to rock and roll…and man, they rocked these photos and so did their hot mama.

The entire family was absolutely picture perfect and they made these photos E.A.S.Y.  Simply put, they are a beautiful bunch!  Boys will be boys and it was so cool to experience their bond, I love seeing the relationship between siblings, especially when they are either all brothers or all sisters – I flashed back to my Stand by Me days and it was inspirational.  Deanna and her boys were having so much fun, especially working it the way they were for the camera!

Check out the fabulous fam!  :)
