Baby Aidan is here!

Newborns, oh sweet newborns-they are just the sweetest! Baby Aidan is here and I was so excited to capture this handsome little man. He is a very alert 9-day old baby and wow...he is born a model! I have never been with a newborn who smiled SO much and basically posed for the photos. I am a happy photographer :) Big brother E also loves baby Aidan and was happy to smile for me. Check out the photos of this precious baby and family below... R&M, enjoy!

Playdate with the R sisters

We had lots of fun today playing at the R sisters' house. They have so many toys to play with! They especially love the Barbie jeep. Wes still had fun (hmm...perhaps even more fun!), even though he was the only boy :) Hope we can do this more often in the summer.

Waiting for Aidan

I'm thrilled to be asked by my good friends, R & M again to capture maternity pictures of their upcoming baby boy. M is looking radiant, and soon to be big brother E is as cute and as well behaved as ever, so it was a wonderful photo session for all. I can't wait to capture Aidan, with all his newborn gorgeousness! Here are some sneak peeks....

Grandparents' Love

"A grandparent is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend." ~Author Unknown

I had the privilege of spending time with the R family a couple weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. R have just celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary in the past weekend. They are such a cute couple, and one could tell that they are still in love with each other even after all these years. I can only hope that David and I will be as happy a couple as they are in the future.

Mr. and Mrs. R have six grandchildren. Just look at them! Aren't they beautiful?! They adore each other. Their relationship reminds me of my relationship with my own grandparents. It's that special bond only shared between grandparents and grandkids. And of course, it also reminds me of the bond shared between my kids and my parents, who are arriving from Indonesia this evening. How grateful I am that they are able to experience this special relationship just like I did.

Anyways, without further ado, here are some of my favorite shots from the session. Enjoy!

Our chiquita

We have been putting Kay in Spanish class at her preschool for about 2 months now. This class is wonderful and we are hoping that Kay can at least learn David's native language. The class is interactive, which is perfect for preschool kids. The teacher speaks Spanish from the moment they enter the class. Check it out...

Wes' Valentine experience

I took Wes to his preschool type class today and he did quite well. He enjoyed painting the color red and made a Valentine bag. During circle time, he got tons of Valentine goodies from his friends. His favorites were the lollipop and the red windmill given by his teacher, Miss Mona.

Location Research

I took Kay with me to do some location research for my Saturday's photo session. It's difficult to capture her lately since she started to adopt that "forced smile" look. Here are two somewhat decent shots of her.
