Wow! This year flew by so quickly. This was such a crazy year learning to balance being parents of two wild boys and still getting work done. It is still a busy time for us but I just wanted to update our neglected blog and share a picture Roman took of Sonny and I the other day. We took a short break and walked from the studio to the park. This is the same park that I once stood in my wedding dress. That building in the background is where we had our wedding reception. On my wedding day I never imagined that one day we would be playing with our two beautiful sons in the same park and work together in our own photography studio just around the corner. It's moments like these that I am thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Taking a moment...
Oh Boy!
Our new little guy has been keeping us busy! Since I can't keep up with his demand to nurse every two hours I introduced baby food a little early. He was ready and is very interested in food! He would grab the spoon to shove it further into his mouth. He would grunt for more and wanted to eat it all up really fast. 
Once he was finished with his food he went back to sucking his big toe! 
He is a big boy and wearing clothes that are supposed to fit a one year old! The only problem I hope we can overcome is his eczema. You can see some of the rash it on his cheek. It requires constant care and it has flared up really bad with the heat. If any readers out there know any remedies, please let me know.
So now you can see what has been taking up so much of our time (especially blogging time). There are so many weddings and portraits I didn't post during the toughest months of my pregnancy but I'll be posting them all as I get the chance.
I posted two new weddings below:
Andrea & Erik's Wedding
Nasdy & Manny's Wedding
and there are many more posts to come. I'm looking forward to catching up.
Andrea and Erik's Wedding
Andrea & Erik had their wedding ceremony at Our Lady Queen of Angels in Newport Beach and their reception at the University Club in the University of Irvine. It was a beautiful day! It also happened to be my birthday and they are a great couple to spend the day with. Roman and I had a blast with Andrea, Erik, and all their loved ones!
Andrea got ready at the Hilton Irvine.
I love her look here while they where putting on her veil...
Her expression was so cute when a gust of wind blew her veil off! 
Immediately after that last shot I ran and picked up the veil before it got dirty or a car would run it over. Remember...I have cat-like reflexes LOL!
Chatting with her girls before the ceremony begins.
Portrait time!
Platinum Weddings by Kerrie did an amazing job the entire day. Just look at what a beautiful job they did on the University Club!
The first dance...
The toast...
The University Club has great window light. I love the natural light and detail in this picture.
Not only did Andrea and Erik have a cake but they served apple pie too...both were delicious!
Andrea and Erik, thank you for a wonderful day!
Nasdy and Manny's Wedding
Nasdy and Manny had a beautiful and intimate wedding at The Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga Canyon. It was such a joy to photograph them since they are so in love! We are so blessed to work with such amazing people such as Nasdy, Manny, and their family and friends.
I love this shot of Nasdy getting ready with her mom looking on.
Ceremony time!
A private little toast immediately after the ceremony.

Nasdy and Manny were inseparable and having a great time!
They are too cute!
Thank you Nasdy and Manny! Congratulations!
The Engagement: Nasdy & Manny
We had so much fun with Nasdy & Manny. We have so much in common with them. We can totally relate to the fact that they work together and run a business together. Their business is Latin Lingo Clothing and they sell some of coolest t-shirts! Pretty soon, they will be a husband and wife team working together! It takes a very special relationship to be able to spend every day working together ;-)
So these first few were shot at the Griffith Observatory. We played with all the cool lines and architecture...
Since they love our use of color we had to find some cool urban spots to deliver! So here you go :-)
Below is the one they will display at their wedding next week. What a great choice!
We can't wait for their wedding! It is going to be so cool!
Brooklin & Dan's Wedding in San Juan Capistrano & Dana Point
Brooklin and Dan's wedding was so much fun. We were looking forward to their wedding ever since their awesome engagement session. They were blessed with such great weather last Saturday! It was a perfect day, gorgeous couple, great family and friends and a beautiful sunny day...what more could you ask for?
We started off at Brook's parent's home in Mission Viejo for some getting ready shots.
Check out her dress, shoes, & garter!
I love the detail and texture of her dress.
Since it was an evening wedding, they did a "first look" and portraits before the wedding ceremony. Smart thinking because they had some good light for their portraits!
Check out her beautiful bouquet! Cindy Babuscio Designs did an awesome job on the flowers.
They are just so cute together!
Brooklin is such a stunning woman! What a gorgeous bride! 
This was such a great moment before her dad walked her down the aisle.
The kiss!
The reception was at the O.C. Sailing and Events Center in Dana Point. In The Now Weddings and Events did a great job transforming the place.
They had great details!
The looked so happy during their grand entrance.
A sweet moment during their first dance.
We really enjoyed working with our great friend Ron who was doing the video. Roman took a picture of us together at the end of evening :-)
Family of Four!
We are getting the hang of being a family of four. Our new baby boy Dexter is known by his middle name of Sonny by the entire family. He is such a good baby. He rarely cries and he sleeps through the night already! Most of the work is getting Miles to be careful with the baby and to get them on a good/same schedule. They do love each other so much already. Miles is very affectionate towards his little brother and Sonny wants to be with Miles all the time. He smiles at Miles and always has his eyes on him to see what his big brother is up to. Here is a picture of them together...
Here are a few more photos of him at six weeks old. I normally don't leave these in color but I love the color of his hair and eyes.
This little guy is growing up so fast. He already weighs 12lbs. and wearing 3 to 6 month size clothes. He is trying to talk and is showing signs of teething already! I'm trying to hold on to every moment of "babyness." Even though my maternity leave is over and I am back to work, I am very thankful that I have my boys with me most of the time (except when we are shooting of course). Life is good :-)
