Laura & Brandon

Last weekend I had the privilege to be at Laura & Brandon's wedding at the Camelback Sanctuary. It was such a beautiful day and Laura & Brandon were such a sweet couple. I really enjoyed the whole day. Jennifer, thank you so much for letting me come with you. You are so talented and I'm so fortunate to be able to hang out with you. You have no idea how much I appreciate your generosity. Thank you!




Their vows were so touching. I have to confess I got teary-eyed.What a stunning happy couple:

Kika (kee-kah)

Kika, Kika... There's nothing better than to hear this sound. It makes my heart melt. Only because I only hear it when my nephew is calling for me. Yes, it's my new name and it makes me feel so special. In the middle of his 100 words or so, there I am. He loves me just as much as his "Bo" (bottle, which really is a sippy cup with milk), Tocas (Thomas the tank engine -and really any other train), and his "shoesh" (shoes). Oh I feel so special! I love my nephew so so much. There's no better day than a day spent with him. He's so much fun! He's my best buddy :)

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the train park. I'm redecorating his room with a Thomas the tank engine theme so we went to the park to take some pictures. He really doesn't like wearing hats so it took quite the family effort to get these photos:

Nina and David

Before I go on, I need to apologize to my friend Janette for missing her birthday party this past Saturday. That morning I got an unexpected phone call from photographer Debbie Moon. She needed someone to help shoot a wedding that same afternoon. I of course couldn't miss the oportunity. I thought I'd still make it to Janette's party but I didn't leave the wedding until 10:30. (Thanks for being understanding, Janette). Debbie was so nice, she even let me use her camera/lens. I can't wait to see the pictures I took with her camera. At first I spent a little time with the boys while they were getting ready, then we switched and I spent most of my time with the girls while Debbie was with the boys. So here are a few shots I got with my camera:

The best man : Dad watching his little girl getting ready. I love this photo. The look on his face says so much.A few details:

The bride just moments before the ceremony. (So calm and just beautiful!): Time to celebrate:
Debbie, thank you for this opportunity. I had so much fun! David and Nina I really appreciate you sharing your most special day with me.

The monkey and the bunny

The monkey and the bunny. Little did they know that one day they would end up meeting each other and spending the rest of their days together. The monkey was Leeana's first toy and the bunny was Don Paul's first toy. Now the four of them are awaiting the arrival of Aliyah (expected at the end of May) whom in fact already has a brand-new monkey waiting for her. Her first toy. One of the many wonderful memories her parents are anxiously awaiting to start sharing with their precious daughter.
