Welcome to the world baby Carter! My cousin and her husband had their third little adorable toe headed boy at the end of August! Those three boys are so very handsome. Older brothers Chase and Colby were full of energy and loved goofing around in front of the camera! Baby Carter was so sweet and stayed sleepy almost the entire time (woo-hoo!). And, we had to do a fishing themed photo for Brian (xoxo!) and it turned out to be adorable!

This much anticipated little lady is finally here! Meet Tessa Grace, the new baby girl to my good friends Christine and Johnny. It is incredible how a little baby can bring so much joy and peace into the world. It really makes you pause to appreciate the simple moments in life, like watching a baby's first smile. :) I am so happy for this perfect little family. They are already amazing parents and I am so excited to watch little Tessa grow into a beautiful little girl! Welcome to the world Tessa! You are so loved!

These two adorable girls were so much fun to photograph. Baby Josie was just under two weeks old and the perfect little model. Proud older sister Emmy was jumping around most of the time but was so sweet and gentle with her little sister. Congratulations to parents Minh-Chau and Previn. You make such a beautiful family!

I had so much fun attending Green Feast this year, the annual fundraising dinner held by The Ecology Center! Chefs from around Orange County (including the wonderful Kerri Cacciata!!) prepared a delicious meal made from sustainably produced ingredients sourced within 250 miles. The setting was breathtaking as the sun slowly set over the farm and the sky filled with color and lit up the beautifully set long tables. I was in heaven with my camera in one hand and wine glass in the other. It was a spectacular night shared with great people for a very good cause. I can hardly wait for next year!
