Happy New Year! Thanks to everyone who made 2006 a great year. Christmas was hectic, but fun. We visited our friends the Bittels and had a great time exchanging presents and seeing their holiday light display. New Years was great too. We went to the La Brea Tar Pits on Saturday. The kids really enjoyed it. On New Years Eve we stayed home and had a great time. They loved the party hats and horns, and couldn't get enough of the strawberry sparkling cider. Here are a few pictures from the museum and a slideshow of our holiday season.

Happy New Year!

On Saturday the Coverts and I braved the cold weather and did a quick shoot at Dog Beach. We didn't get a great sunset because it was so cloudy, and the fog started rolling in fairly early, but the kids seemed to have fun, especially Max to dog.
Enjoy the slideshow.

My sister in law asked me to take a few pictures of my beautiful niece Abbie for her dance studios Christmas program. What started out as a few pictures turned into a few hundred! Abbie is a great subject, up for anything. I had so much fun with this shoot. Click here for the slideshow.

Anyone who has traveled to far off destinations with small children, I commend you. We just got back from Hawaii and do we need a vacation! Here are some photos.

I was lucky enough to have Drew at drewbphotography take me along as her second shooter for another wedding. Nicole and Shane are a great couple and I had so much fun shooting their wedding. Here are a few pictures of the big day.
