Sweet little sugar baby. My longest newborn session to date and I enjoyed every second!!

** I hand made all her hair pieces, crown and wings, her mama ordered the Minnesota viking knit hat on etsy**

Alyssa turned three and her family made her the most beautiful under the sea mermaid inspired party. Every detail was beyond elegant. I loved all the colors they used from the ombre lavender to the aqua blue and pink. It was so inspiring. Every treat was made by different friends of the family. A lot of love went into every detail!

I just want to embace life. I started the Beth Moore “When Godly people, do ungodly things” bible study and I am really enjoying it. It is pretty intense. These days I have been taking time to enjoy my life, creating art and taking better care myself. I am not spreading myself too thin. I love this new year already….. Here are some snapshots from the last two weeks.

This is True and his little best friend. Making time for our friends is so important.

My kid is growing so fast, I love his great little personality.
I am taking time to create things. I made these lace angel wings to use someday on a baby shoot.
I took this picture at the Manhattan Beach country club. That place was fantastic and these balloons made me happy.
I finally organized all my gorgeous trim. Oh my goodness does it inspire me! Downtown Long Beach. beautiful. Pancakes + Sharkey + True = a great start to my day…..
and finally the man I love with my whole heart. Almost married 18 years. God is so good. Thank you!

It’s been amazing to watch this family grow. The nicest most humble and kind friends you could ever ask for!
