Another Chilly Day at the beach

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!

Eco Friendly Book- Growing Up Green

I have just added this book to my resource list for my Doula clients.

Growing Up Green  by Deirde Imus.  It is a great resource full of eco friendly and healthy living tips.  Of course I wish that there was *more* about Doulas ;) but that is not the focus of the book.  It is a quick read that covers everything from healthy eating while pregnant, to using sustainable products in your baby's room to purchasing green school supplies.  There are some yummy kid friendly recipes too.  Pick it up at your local book store!

Super Strong newborn

This yummy little girl is brand new- but WOW was she strong.  She was lifting her head and smiling and following me with her beautiful eyes.

And just look at this incredible interaction.

Bellies Birth and Babies & May is For Mothers update

Wow- we had a GREAT turn out last night at our Bellies Birth and Babies Spring Expo.  It was wonderful meeting so many beautiful pregnant families!  Our next Bellies Birth and Babies Expo will be on July 15th.  Check back here for more info.  We also had the chance to honor Stacy Thompson who started what became Birth Network of Santa Cruz all those many years ago- Stacy we appreciate you!

Well, I hope that you all survived tax day . Big heavy sigh.  *sheds a little tear*

But on a happier note my May is For Mothers event is rolling along!  This is a fund raiser for Jacob's Heart- a local organization that works with kids who have cancer.  From every limited edition session that is scheduled, I will be donating pre-paid gasoline cards to the families so that this crazy increase in fuel prices wont effect these families quite as much as they are traveling to Stanford to receive treatment for their kids.  May 20th is filling quickly and other days are beginning to fill.  Call soon to schedule!

May is for Mothers is here!

Jungle Book Baby

I was thrilled to meet this beautiful family and photograph their newborn son.  Dad painted the nursery in a simply darling jungle theme! 

Isn't he just the sweetest?  Look how he was holding his hand...

And a little attitude- just for fun!
