Christmas Pals

I have been waiting a while to be able to post this. For Christmas I made my nieces and nephews some pillow pals.

Aren't they just so cute.

Nutcracker

Yesterday my niece and her friend and I went and saw the Nutcracker. As many of you know this is a long ballet and so I was very surprised by how quietly they sat for the duration of the show.

Glad to hear the kitchen is safe from the boys now.

Family Fun

A few weeks back I was able to shoot the Packer family for their Christmas card this year. This was a blast, running after three toddlers and more adults then I could keep track of. Hope to see you again next year.

Miss you!

This morning I got a call from my niece Emily and had a conversation that went something like this:

Emily: Can I talk to John the Baptist?

Me: He is at work right now.

Emily: Where does he work?

Me: At the mall.

Emily: A California mall?

Me: Yes

Emily: How far is it to his work?

Me: Half an hour.

Emily: What is half an hour?

Me: It is as long as it takes you to watch Dora.

Emily: Oh

Oh Emily I love you!

Welcome Baby E!

This was such a treat to play with such a new baby. Working with a model only a few days old takes time and a lot of willingness on the my and the parents part to make this work. Daddy, did you get the poop stains out yet? :)

Welcome to the world baby E!

I am such a geek.

Ok I said it I am a geek and many of you know it. So with that said I am happy to share what I learned this morning.

As I opened my sleepy eyes I reached for my phone (myTouch by T-mobile) to check my email and peek at the blogs that I stock, you know who you are, so any how I noticed that I had some updates to install, one being an updated version to Google Maps. This is an app that many of my friends and family cried with joy when I told them I would no longer be calling them from random locations to look up directions on how to get me out of a pinch. Remembering a few weeks back hearing about Google's Navigation beta (turn by turn directions with voice) I crossed my fingers hoping that this update would be the update of all updates. I installed and then quickly began searching google maps for new features. Not finding what I was looking for I quickly went the resource of all resources when it comes to andriod phones, www.androidcommunity.com
Sure enough on the front page I found what I was looking for

turn by turn directions with voice! Yes a FREE navigation system right in my phone. This is a happy day. No more trying to read a small dark screen while driving!

I think I might just have to drive some random places and see how well this works.

So all of you out there using iphones, top this! Love you Google!

Lovebug wedding style

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get." - Forest Gump

Yesterday, on short notice, I shot a wedding in Yorba Linda. This is one of the things that I like about about my job, I never know what I will be doing one week to the next.

Thanks guys for letting me be apart of your special day.
