Eye Candy

We recently went to So. Cal for a few concerts and while we were there I had many opportunities to PLAY with my camera. I hope you enjoy some of my eye candy. It is very random enjoy!

The Eams Office and gallery. A candy shop for the eyes! They just had a gallery opening showing the new Eams font, how can you not love art with typography.
This chair was comfy

I am not sure which of these two I like better, What do you think?
A case full of tops how fun!

We found a french pastry shop. They welcome you into their bakery open the fridge and pick what you want. This is a red velvet ball AMAZING!

Okay random I know but this strawberry so looked like a butt to me with big cellulite hips.

Track Break

The week of President's Day I had 3 days off for a mini track break. Max took two of those days off with me. On Tuesday our little family headed to Valley of Fire, it was the first time is 4 visits that we had sunshine. We had a blast hiking and playing in the red sand!

I love my Lucy Girl! Like my new hat my hat disappeared and I had to buy a new one in the gift shop.

A few family photos

I love this one!
We brought coffee and tea to go for a yummy snack while hiking YUMMMM.

On the way home we were looking for some interesting things that were under Lake Mead and due to water levels are exposed. We did not find what we were looking for but we did find a little grouping of houses we did not know existed and maybe a new area to kayak.

On Thursday I was able to take Sydney up to Mt Charleston for an adventure. We took my friend Kelly and her son Ryan (a few months older than Sydney) along. We had a great time building snowmen and sledding. Kelly and I each went to the top of the big hill and went on a scary ride then we did safe sledding with the kids. The kids did their best to share the sled, well in the way 2 year olds share. After sledding we went to the Ski lodge and had Chili and hotdogs and ate our lunch outside since it was so warm. Overall a great way to end the week and recharge myself!

The Kemp's

I was lucky to capture the Kemp's growing family. Little Rebecca is 5 weeks old, and she is adored by her almost 4 year old brother Jeremiah.

As you can see they are a very fun family!
Wrapped up like a little pea pod!
Smiling at mommy
Hard at play
I just love this silly look!
He just adores her!
A quite moment with mommy. I was giving Rebecca one last cuddle when I saw this out of the corner of my eye.
Look how big she has gotten in just 5 weeks.
Cuddling with Daddy
Deep in manly conversation!
Thank you Kemp's for letting me join your family for the afternoon.

THe Hood's 09

On Veteran's Day I had the pleasure of shooting my sisters family at Spring Mountain Ranch. The weather was a little crankier then the previous shoot but we still had fun.

Becky G's Family

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting Becky G's family again, we first met 2 years ago. She called me and asked if we could make this weekend work her brother Jason came home and surprised the family. We headed out to Spring Mountain Ranch (I have not been out to the Ranch area since elementry school field trips.) We had a blast being silly and having fun enjoy a few of my favorites.

I love the interactions in this picture. Look at mom and dad and Becky and her daughter Emma.

Becky's parents just like before I am struck with how in love with each other they are!
