Five on Friday

Well, the days of the week haven't been something on my mind these past few weeks and it has been amazing. Travis has been on vacation and we just might decide to live off the land and stay home together forever;)

Until we can't stand each other anymore...ha!

One.

I am so glad that we have spent this past week home. We got some chores done around the house--Travis dusted the blinds and I realized that we had never done that. EEK! Sorry to our friends who have ingested deathly amounts of dust at our home!

Two.

I just have to say that my husband has been getting pretty tan and it's hot;) Me on the other hand...not so much.

Three.

We swam at friend's houses twice this week. Brody rocked a pink swim hat because his mom forgot his;) He is so confident about his manhood;)

Four.

We leave tomorrow for Tahoe with two of our best friends and their sweet baby girl! Road trips are the best!!

Five.

Brody has become super snuggly. He will just lay his head on your shoulder--or the ground for that matter. We walked around Target today and he laid his head on my should the whole time! Travis can't get enough of the snuggles...

Have a great weekend!! 

Chico, CA Portrait Photographer:: LeDuc Family

I have to start this post by thanking God that this family's oldest daughter did not get bitten by the Rattle snake that was feet from her! Scariest moment of my Photography career thus far.

Moving on...these kids are the most adorable balls of energy that you'll ever see! I was excited when Alli contacted me about taking their photos and knew it was going to be lots of giggles and silly faces. It is amazing how their individual personalities show through the photos.

Enjoy this little glimpse into our time spent together.

 This next set of photos definitely portrays their personalities.

 

 I am in love with these two photos--love amidst the chaos.

And we will end with this sweet photo of Peter and his first baby. 

Thank you, LeDuc family for spending time with me out in the hot summer heat! 

And thank you for being my extra hands, Erin! You did great in your Assistant debut;)

Broderick:: Lions, Tigers, and Elephants!

While we were down in San Diego my sister treated Brody and I to the Zoo. She has passes and I was so excited to spend time with her and show Brody the animals!

He really probably had no idea what was going on but it was fun for me and Nicole. He stared at the Zebra and cried at the alligator. It was a BEAUTIFUL day.

 He was crying in the picture above because he wanted to eat his hat instead of wear it:)He kept pulling his hat off and I'm sure it was pretty entertaining to watch--we would put it on him and then try to distract him. He is smarter than I give him credit for. 

Children really are such a joy! He did great walking(being held) around the Zoo for hours. Even though he probably won't remember this, it was so much fun for Nicole and I to watch him take in everything.

 He loves his Auntie Nikki!!

Can't wait to bring Brody back to the Zoo when he can walk and really enjoy the animals.

Nikki, thank you so much for spending the day with us! I won't ever forget it! Brody is so lucky to have such a fun and generous Aunt! You're the greatest:)

All of the photos above were taken with my iPhone. 

Chico, CA Portrait Photography::Barron Family

I just have to preface by saying that if you haven't seen the photos from Emily's Arrival, you have got to! 

I have just fallen in love with this family. Lynette has a seriously funny personality and such a great outlook on mommyhood. I was thrilled that she wanted to do some Portraits as a gift to Matt for Father's Day. I don't think anything could top photos of your family! What a sweet gift:)

We took some photos around their gorgeous home. Enjoy this little glimpse of our time spent together!

 

Can't wait to share the rest with you, Matt and Lynette. Thank you for being such a great family! I've LOVED working with you!
