Weather here is so change-on-a-dime but on this day it was cold cold cold then it was cold some more. This sweet little guy was such a trooper- all he wanted to do was explore the sand...
And try to figure out what that crazy lady with the camera was doing..
Isn't mom beautiful?
Even with the super cold weather we got some great images. I am excited to share them with you!
I get an unending supply of cardboard in my business- flat pieces of all sizes. If your school, art classes, drama classes, etc. are in need of cardboard, please let me know. One side is usually clean and the other size usually has writing and packing tape on it.
Thanks!

AND A LOCAL SANTA CRUZ EVENT
Tonight is Birth Stories at the Bonfire on the Beach. Join other families and share your birth stories.
7pm- Seabright Beach near the Santa Cruz Natural History Museum (the whale sculpture)
Bring a warm blanket, something to sit on, lots of warm clothes and bring your friends and family.
Thank you to all the special midwives that have touched my life- I appreciate you and all the work that you do.
This happy boy was loving running in circles on this day. Here is one I caught in motion.
And doesn't this image just make you want to grin from ear to ear. His smile is so contagious
Thanks for hanging out at the beach!
This little beauty has a quiet and maybe just a little bit shy personality- but wow does her smile light up a room (or the beach as the case may be). And yes mom, I also got a glimpse of her intensity :)- but on this day she was perfect. She is a lovely person and I enjoyed spending time with her.
I love the movement and attitude in this one.
I am excited to share the images from this session with you!

I donated this session as a gift for this family. but really it turned into a gift for me! Meet little A. She loves to dance, and she loooooooves her cars.
Her swing brings her such joy.
And she is very clear about her desires. And most parents reading this are nodding their heads knowing all about kids who are "clear"- but for little A.'s parents even the simple act of being clear about her needs is a huge deal for this kiddo. Miss A is a special kid- in the truest sense of the word.
Isn't she a beauty!
I feel so honored that this family allowed me a peek into their daughters life- it was such a gift for me. Thank you!
Every single household that we own, or bring into our home, has an impact on out environment and on our lives.
This beautiful gal is a part-time Doula and it was great getting to know her. This is her first baby and she and her DH are sooooo excited to meet this little one. They are not finding out if baby is a boy or a girl (I LOVE that) but I am thinking boy- but like I said- who knows!
Just look at these cute freckles!
It is so fun being around dads who are totally into their sweeties' pregnancies!
I look forward to meeting your little son, or is it daughter- hmmmmm I wonder.
I was busy photographing a beautiful pregnant mama then running around to other appointments so I missed posting about Earth Day.
Happy Earth Day (a day late!)
Here are a couple of Super Simple Tips to help care for the Earth and save some cash!.
1. All things electrical draw power even when turned off- so, plug all your electrical stuff into power strips/ surge supressors and turn the power strip off each night. Probably wouldn't recommend doing this for your refrigerator ;) but for your computer printers, cell phone chargers, etc- this is a great tip.
2. Use reusable cloth bags for your groceries- easy peasy.
3. When doing craft projects- think recycled! We keep paper that comes into the house in a basket for drawing projects. Here are some other fun craft ideas: Recycled Crafts
4. Select products that are not over packaged- especially when it comes to birthday and holiday presents.
5. Have your kids join EPA Enviromental Kids Club
