2 Months?!

Wow. I haven't blogged since December 7th. And even in THAT post I say how busy I am. I guess there goes THAT commitment! But, hey, nothing wrong with trying again, right?

Here's a rundown of the last few months that I would really love to share :)

A few days before Thanksgiving was my baby's FIRST birthday celebration! I never really got the formal cake smash session that I really wanted to do, but I'm glad I got these...






BEFORE:



AFTER: hahaa!!


In 2011, Ben's birthday was ON Thanksgiving. Here's a photo of us in the hospital when Ben's was one day old. And here he was this Thanksgiving one year old. :) :)

I really wanted to do a formal cake smash shoot with him, but it just didn't happen. Thanksgiving (and his actual birthday) was a few days after this, and the day after Thanksgiving I went to Mexico to shoot a cousin's wedding!

Here are a few from their day. I have to say the lighting during the wedding was a challenge! The sun was super bright even at sunset and then BAM! it was dark. My ISO was pumped up so high on a lot of them that I just needed to embrace the grain!









My cousin wanted the posed photos to have more of a vintage feel to them.



(My fave!)


And a few landscape shots. The beach was gorgeous at sunrise!













Are you still with me? Okay....

And then after that was Christmas. Surprisingly, I decided NOT to shoot anything on Christmas but instead let my husband videotape it. I did get some great photos of us picking out a tree with my niece though!























Here's my try at a "Twinkle Lights" photo for Ben's holiday picture:



I wasn't totally happy with it, but it was the best shot I got!

And his Christmas card...lol!



Here in LA, Christmas Day was beautifu! Before heading over to the In-Laws, we took a pit stop at the park!


I'm in one! Yay!







WOW..this has been a total overshare! But I really feel like I HAD to catch up. My whole purpose for this blog in the beginning was to journal our life with Ben. So this is really for him...and I feel like I kind of owe it to him ;-)
