Here she is… she is so beautiful and that’s exactly what I wanted to bring out during this session.  Pregnancy is one of the biggest events in a womans life.  It’s hard, emotional, exciting, scary… I look at a maternity session to show a woman how beautiful and how powerful she is.  Miss Jennifer was just that.  Here’s a little peak! Enjoy!

I just thought I would share a little bit on this cool venue I just shot at in Pasadena called the Rococo Room.  They do all sorts of banquet events.  Gabby and Guthrie decided to have their small ceremony and reception in one location here at the Rococo room.  The staff was super cool and they run a tight ship.  They transformed the room from ceremony to dining room in minutes. That was cool!  The area around Pasadena is super cool too. I will post more of what we did that day around Pasadena.

My blog needs some love! I’ve been away from my computer quite a bit lately.  The OS on my poor old Dell took a dump.  But I had a backup computer already loaded so I just had to transfer my data drive and my burner and all my applications… and the whole sh-bang… not so fun but could have been a lot worse.  Although I think I am realizing that I didn’t backup my Photoshop actions and Lightroom presets!!!!! AAAAHHH!!!! I know I must have them somewhere! Lesson Learned!  Adobe puts them in such a funky place it’s easy to forget to back them up!

 I’ve also been busy assisting on weddings and shooting weddings of my own and now I can finally sit down and sink my teeth into the editing processes.  I’ve also been busy meeting new mommies taking part in the Prego Mommy Model search. I have met some really beautiful women just glowing with mommy-hood. I can’t wait to start showing off some of the results.  I’m excited about what we will be doing!

Our affiliate [Channel Islands PPA] just had our quarterly print competition last night. We had some great judges which turned into a Simon, Paula, Randy match which made us all laugh! It was a great comp night.  My entries in the children’s category scored only an above average but I learned a few things too so it was worth the humiliation .

Here’s my little cutie.  He’s helping dad wash his Mercury Monterey.  He felt so important.  This weekend my little baby (not such a baby now) fell on his face off his little ride-on car.  You know how it feels when you have something brand new and you hate to have it scratched or messed up… like a new car or something? Well… that’s sort of how I feel because he chipped his front tooth!! It’s just a little chip and he got right back up to play again! But still, kind of sad.  His front baby tooth will never be the same.  I have to say though that at this age I LOVE that I have this special mommy power over him whenever he hurts himself.  If he gets any scrape at all he says “mommy kiss it” and it’s all over like it never happened.  I will be sad when my special mommy power will stop working. I love that a little kiss really makes it all better.

Comming soon!! Gabo and Gooch and the Rock-a-billy wedding of the year! WooHoo!
