SMILE!!

Need a pick-me-up? Well even if you don't, I have posted one for ya!
I LOVE this short film and just had to share it with you all! It makes me excited to be a photographer, to be in love, and to be happy in life! Take the time to watch it... you wont be disappointed! I promise. Have a beautiful day.

Any Suggestions??

So Malia has fallen out of her toddler bed EVERY night since we put her in it. It does not seems to bother her much, but I just feel so bad! I have gotten up in the middle of the night every night to check on her and sure enough she is laying on the cold hard floor fast asleep.
I know I can put pillows down, but I prefer doing something to help her to stay in the bed. Anyone else had this problem? Suggestions please!!

Wedding: Carly + Carson

My latest wedding... and last one for a few months. Now that I am in the third trimester of my pregnancy I will not be photographing anymore weddings through at least December. Not to worry though! I will continue to do family, child, and senior portraits through fall.
If you plan on booking a photo session for a Christmas card portrait please contact me soon as my schedule is filling up fast.

UPDATE: Sleeping in her new bed

Ok, I know you have ALL been DYING to hear how the toddler bed/sharing a room with Gabe thing is going. Surprisingly... pretty good so far!!
NIGHT 1: We sang songs, said prayers and tucked in the kiddos. I kept waiting on the couch for little foot steps down the hall but they never came! Malia and Gabe stayed in their beds and after just a few minutes of some whispering (on Gabe's part, helps that Malia can't really talk yet!) they were down for the count! Then disaster struck. Around 4am Gabe woke us up screaming. Then came crying from Malia's corner. Gabe had leaked out of his pull=up diaper. GREAT! What a perfect night for that to happen! So Mike and I were in there for a good 20 minutes soothing both kids back to sleep. Malia cried a little when we left, but again never got out of bed. She came stomping into our room the next morning with a big smile on her face. Success!!
NIGHT 2: Ok, so last night might not count because we were at Disneyland until like 9pm so the kids were OUT! We transferred both from car to bed without a peep. In the middle of the night I heard a thump on the ground so went in to check it out. Malia had fallen out of her little bed. She was fine (my tough girl). Her exact words were, "Sshhhh, Ouch!" I put her back in bed and she crashed once more. That was it ! Gabe woke her up at 6:10 this morning so both kids are up and in full force right now.
The only negative so far is that they both have gotten up early both days. But I am not complaining! (Mostly because Mike has gotten up with them! :) ) I am just so proud of my big 18 month old girl for dealing with the transition so well thus far, yeah Malia! Lets hope for more success over the coming days. And then to deal with nap time! She is still in the crib for that...

CANADA- Take EIGHT- And that is that! Last post

Ok, for those of you who are sick of Canada, no worries. This is my last post. I had to make it good so of course it is of my little lovers, Gabe and Malia. Enjoy!!





My favorite little band aide/ chip crumb face boy!

Sweet Malia by the barn.

Malia and Cousin Hannah

This is just to show you how stylin my little boy was in his tight hurley jeans and pumas. So cute!

A classic boy moment. This tomboy-at-heart Mommy just melts looking at photos like this. Who knew that throwing toys and running after them could be so much fun!

Alas... it is time to return to the good old US of A. Gabe takes a quick stop at the magazine rack to catch up on some cartoons while we wait for one of our MANY flights. Thanks for all the memories Canada family! We miss you!

CANADA- Take SEVEN- The River

Our last day in Canada we had a little picnic down by the river, not too far away from the farm. It was beautiful and everyone had so much fun playing... even me! Check it out...






Mike and the kidos checking out the river


Look at that little smooshie face! I want to go wake her up from her nap right now just so I can smoosh and kiss it!


The picnic site


" Oh no! I am naked and full of mud!"


"OH wait a minute! I did that on purpose and am LOVIN IT!"


Gabe wanted to get in on the mud action too. They say it IS good for your skin you know.


Everyone in the river.

And yes, that is my muddy pregnant belly at 6 months along.



I did not think too hard before hand about how I would get it off of me without getting my pants all wet... oh well, it was worth the photo!

CANADA- Take SIX- A shmorgishborg

Ok, just a few more Canada posts guys and girls, bear with me. Here are the portraits I took at the family reunion, and some more photos from that day. Enjoy!



This is Willi's whole family. My Mom, Laurie's, birth mother, her half brother and his kids and all of us. Minus my Dad and my little sister who is not allowed in Canada... that's for you Jen. ;)

The whole family- All of the Vanderleest family and their children and grand children.

The Vanderleest siblings.

Malia with Uncle Lance. All the little kids love Uncle Lance. I think it is the beard and stash.

Auntie Petra and her boys. The Smithinski family.

David and Peck- We stayed on their farm while visiting. They live right next to Petra's farm.

Mr. Jones and yours truley with the baby bump in full action.

The Smithinski Family...

And here they are showing their TRUE colors ;)

Petra on David's horse.

And me on the horse... I know I know, I am not supposed to be on a horse while pregnant but I was really careful and just walked him around.

Niece Hannah and the other Becky petting the horses.

Niece Allie with Hannah and Gabe on the swing set at the farm.

What is going through her mind at this particular moment you ask? "Don't get between this girl and her quad... or else!"

Ready to go!!

Ok, classic shot, probably NEVER to be duplicated! Who is that you ask, riding on the back of that quad with NO HELMET ON!?

Yeah, that is Nurse Roberts (aka Grammy). Here she is giving the look of, "Oh no! I got caught!"

Yeah you better put that helmet on (that is 3 sizes too small for you I might add)!! You are in SO much trouble!!

TIME : 10:30pm... Still bright as can be outside. Having a little bon fire on the farm.

Malia with the "big girls". She could not get enough of this girly brigade.

What else can I say but ... REPRESENT!!

And finally at about 11:00pm the sun went down so we could get going on some marshmallow roasting.. yummy!

CANADA- Take FIVE- A Celebration

50 years, can you imagine? Grandma Willi's sister Cathy and her sweet husband Tony celebrated their 5oth wedding anniversary while we were all in Canada. The way they reacted to their surprise cake that their granddaughter made for them, was so priceless. It made me reflect on how grateful I am for my eternal sweetheart and how much I look forward to the next 45 years with him... and beyond.
Watching these two get all choked up as they stare at the old wedding photo of them on the cake really shows you how fast time flies. How much a couple can go through in 50 years and how much your love for each other can grow. I guess it is this excitement of the unknown, the awe of being companions with someone for 50 years of your life, that makes me all gitty inside for what my future holds with my sweet Mr. Jones.
