Ashlyn turns 1!

It doesn't seem that long ago that I was taking newborn pictures of Miss Ashlyn. It truly is amazing how fast a year goes by and how much babies change. Ashlyn is no longer a baby, she's on the verge of being a full fledge toddler! She started walking just in time for her 1st birthday and is still every bit the light in her family's day. I mean really who could resist this sweet face?

In honor of her birthday, her mom helped out and brought a wonderful bouquet of balloons. Can I tell you how much fun we had!! I think we all got our exercise for the day in just chasing her up and down the lawn at Fresno State. It was terrific!

I seriously can't resist parents and their kids! Ashyln is one loved little girl!

As always, thank you Brown family for a wonderful photo session. Ashlyn is turning into a beautiful little girl. Thanks for letting me help capture your memories!

Schwan Family

Last month my wonderful neighbors got to spend a special day with their entire family! A rarity for sure to have everyone in town, I couldn't help but want to help them capture the moment. Unfortunately due to rainy weather we weren't able to add any of the outdoors to our picture background, but thankfully I now have a portable backdrop that I got to put to good use. They're quite a big group - but lots of fun!

Just the kids and Mom & Dad

The poor grandkids had a full day with a potluck most the afternoon, no nap and then we tired to do group pictures. Overall they were good sports and at least we got a picture of them with their grandparents, even if they were crying.

They're rather cute kids, so who could resist wanting a picture with them.

We took full advantage of the having everyone together that we did small family group shots too.

Thanks guys for putting up with so many pictures! I hope you enjoy them. I know I enjoyed spending the day with your wonderful family!

Rice Family

Recently I had the priviledge to photograph a very sweet family. The Rice family's main focus is on two sweet little boys whom my children hold especially dear. The oldest, Danny, is almost 4 and a favorite playmate to my son. The youngest, Grant is becoming quite the big boy and like my youngest has no fear and keeps right up with big brother! Lots of fun and love is this family!

I was so pleased that Grandma & Grandpa Rice let me take a couple pictures of just them. What a lovely couple, don't you think!

Gotta get some Mom & Dad love too!

Grant is almost 2 and full of spunk! There's nothing that's going to slow this little guy down!

Danny, is just a sweetheart. He's become quite the big helper and looks out for his best friend, his brother, Grant.

Yeah, these boys don't love their grandparents much, can you tell! (wink, wink)

Thanks Rice family for the fun morning! Better go catch up with those boys of yours!
