BABY BOYS

What an amazingly beautiful week.  I feel blessed beyond measure to have the friendships that I do.  This week, three people I am proud to call friends brought brand new, perfect little boys into the world.

First up, meet Trent William Bell.  Born 2.3.12 weighing 6lbs/8oz/19.5in.  

Wake up buddy :)  Pretty awesome to think he was here just a couple short months ago.

Next up, meet Isaiah Gulick.  Born 2.10.12 weighing 7lbs/3oz/19.5in

Charlie and Reena are beyond special to Chad and I.  They have been like family here in San Diego, and we simply could not be happier for them as they welcome their handsome son into this world!

And last, but certianly not least, meet Benjamin Max Schweitzer.  Born 2.11.12 weighing 5lbs/4oz/18in.

Jen and I have been friends since my days at Cal Poly.  We have lived together, traveled together, and laughed harder together than almost anybody I know.  It's safe to say she is more like a sister, so it is with amazingly huge excitement to have this little guy here.

Few things are more beautiful than new life.  A heartfelt congratulations to these three new familes.  I am blessed to know you, and love you all dearly.

CASH . THE MAN

Cash.  That is not a name you give a child unless you guarantee he will back it up.  If you know this little guy's awesome parents, you know that will not be a problem!  I had an absolte blast hanging out with this little guy, his sister London, and his wonderful mom Julie.  I never take for granted that I get to capture families as they grow.  Thanks for letting me in Dillon Family!

STEPHEN + JILLIAN . MARRIED

Although weddings are not the bulk of my business, I still do 10-15 per year and enjoy every minute of it.  I am blessed to work with some amazing couples and love being a part of their day.  It is apparent the love that these two have for each other.  We had a lot of time prior to the ceremony to get some portraits and I wanted to share some with you.  This couple is special, their day was beautiful, and the best is yet to come!

The Bell Family . Soon there will be four

Sometime this week, the Bell Family is scheduled to go from a family of 3 to a family of 4 just like that.  They will add another boy, making Jessica outnumbered 3 to 1.  I have know Jessica since college and when she married Eddie, I can speak for all of our friends that we couldn't have been happier.  He is a great man, husband, dad, and provider.  Their first boy, Tyler is full of personality and it will be so fun to see how the next develops over the years.  Eddie, Jessica and Tyler, we wish you all the best this week (fingers crossed) as your new boy enters this world.  What was once three will now be four and your lives will again change forever.  I can't wait to meet him!

Holder Family

These guys are beautiful.  Inside and out.
