My Family {Hanford Family Photography}
We spent Saturday afternoon at Sequoia National Park and took the opportunity to shoot some self-portraits of my family. And some shots of the amazing national park in our backyard. Seriously breathtaking!

One Year {Hanford Child Photography}
Where does the time go? Didn't I post these photos just a couple of weeks ago?
My son turns one this week. He is sweet, content, easygoing, happy, and busy. He rarely cries and has few complaints. Already we can tell he is smart and very clever and determined. He does not like to be told no. He's a great eater, wonderful sleeper, happy traveler, and all around a pleasure to be with. I am a proud mommy.
He has an excellent pout and isn't afraid to use it - especially if someone is telling him "no."
He loves his mama like nothing I've seen before. That old saying "mama's boy & daddy's girl" definitely hold true in this household. Matthew keeps a close eye on me and doesn't like me to wander too far away. The feeling is mutual.
He's such a delight and this first year with him has flown by. I'm sad and emotional to reach this milestone already, but so proud of him. He's been a wonderful baby and I am honored to be his mommy. He has blessed our family so much.
I couldn't resist getting a couple of pictures of both of the kids together. They are my world.
Can you tell she loves being a big sister?

10 Months
At 10 months old, this is the face I see most often. Hands in the mouth, wide eyes, and a sweet smile. He's a wonderful baby and I adore him.

Happy Mother's Day!
We spent Mother's Day at lovely Pismo Beach. It was realllllly windy, but gorgeous.
Speaking of gorgeous, my sweet daughter chose out this orchid for me, too. And her Daddy picked another one. Thank you to them both!

Another Sweet Belly : : Sonoma County Maternity Photography
Our good friends are expecting their second child this Spring and I couldn't be happier to photograph the sweet belly that's holding my future "nephew."
This is what 22 years of friendship looks like. I'm so thankful I sat by her on the school bus that day!

Half-way Around the Sun : : Hanford Portrait Photography
I'm a little behind on this blog, but trying to catch up with a few of my recent sessions - starting with my own little guy reaching his six-month milestone.
This is such a fun age - lots of smiles and giggles, but not a lot of mobility just yet... love that!
Look at these eyelashes...........
Mmmm..... I'm a lucky mommy!

What do you do with your photos?
I think I’ve said it before, photos are my memories. They are my way of keeping records, my souvenirs from vacations, and my gift to myself on birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Looking back through our photo albums floods me with recollections of both the special and the ordinary moments of our life. The way I felt at the time, the conversations we had, the smells, the music, the food - all of that is somehow frozen within a photograph.
Once of my commitments as a professional photographer is to encourage my clients to share their photos freely. Many photographers shoot photos and then include only a handful of images to clients to keep - unless, of course, they want to pay an arm and a leg to buy all of the digital images. As a photographer, as a mother, and as someone who loves photos, I am not a fan of this way of business. My session fee always includes a CD of the finished images for personal use. No additional fees to me, no strings attached. The truth is, I personally wouldn’t go to a photographer that doesn’t allow me to keep my digital negatives. The way I see it, these are my memories and I believe they are mine to keep. My photo business is built on this idea.
Do you have a blog or a web page? Share on Facebook? Frame every favorite? Are you a scrapbooker or do you prefer traditional albums? Do you simply save your photos and plan to sort them out once your children are grown and you have more time to reflect on the moments & memories?
Honestly, I do a little bit of all of the above. I save almost every photo I take. I have a family blog where I share most of the details of our day-to-day adventures. From there, I place my favorites in a very simple scrapbook. And the best also get shared on Facebook.
How about you? Where do your photos end up?

Four
My girl is turning 4 next week.
Four years of motherhood.
Four years of kisses.
Four years of joy.
Four years of being daddy's girl (these were daddy's boots).
Four years of photos!
XOXO to my sweet birthday girl and all you have brought to my world.

Five Months
I can't believe how lucky I am - I get to kiss this face everyday!
And hold these hands, too. This picture was a happy accident and I love it. This may be one of my favorite "self-portraits" of all time!

Mine
Inspired by some bright colors and a cute kid, we did a mini portrait session of my little girl.
Oh how I love that smile...
... and this sweet girl.

T'was the Season!
I hope you've all enjoyed wonderful holidays with your loved ones. I want to take a moment to thank all of my 2009 clients - it's really been a privilege to get to know you all and to play a part in capturing your family history, whatever stage it may be in.
I also want to acknowledge that I have fallen off the blogging wagon here - I apologize for getting so behind. New baby + the holidays has made for a busy couple of months and the blogging definitely took a hit. And look at that, we've reached the end of 2009! I've gone back and blogged just a few of my end-of-the-year photo sessions so you can see what I've been up to! Scroll down to see some familiar faces!
I have some exciting things planned for 2010 and some great projects in the works. Please check back in soon for updates (and I'll work on not neglecting the blog so there are actually things to see here!).

Personal: 8 Months Pregnant
My husband took this photo for me... I realized that I've never made an official announcement to my photo clients - we're having a second child! I'm due with a baby boy next month and currently enjoying my last few weeks of calm before we enter the world of two children.
I will not be booking any August or September photo sessions, but will likely pick back up in October and November for any holiday photos you'd like to have done. However, as we will be adjusting to life with a newborn, my schedule will likely be very full. If you'd like to get an appointment on the books, please contact me right away.
I'll share portraits of our new little guy as soon as I can... I am so excited about having a new face to photograph!

A New Friend
My family and I went to the snow today and while I have about 1,000 pictures of my little one playing in the winter wonderland, this guy is the one who stole the show.
... he seemed much less interested in me.
I love love love love love the snow.
