Springtime in Paris

Springtime in Paris is just lovely! It seems like every week we see a new type of flower.

A month ago we visited Parc de Sceaux in Paris and saw the cherry blossoms. It was gorgeous! We found a nice spot to sit and hang out and our girls loved running around. Our toddler would pick up flowers off the ground and hand them out to people around us. So cute.

These two are just too cute

Looking up at the blossoms

All around where we live there are a ton of rapeseed fields. We went for a walk back in May when the flowers were blooming and enjoyed all the pretty yellow flowers.

Back when we had blue skies and sunshine

Even though we've had non-stop rain lately, Spring has definitely been my favorite time here so far!

First Birthday

My littlest recently turned 1 so we decided to do a little cake smash with her.

Unfortunately, right around her actual birthday, she was pretty sick so we waited until after our visit to Rome (more on that later) to actually do the cake smash.

Don't mind the cake! I had to move quickly so we didn't lose daylight, which caused me to frost a warm banana cake (you can find the recipe here- it's really yummy!) and, of course, melt the frosting. Oh well. Better luck next time! :)

She was the daintiest little cake eater.

Of course, big sister wanted in on the cake too!

I had a lot of fun taking the pictures and the girls had a lot of fun tasting the cake. They are just too cute. I can't believe our baby girl is already 1!

**Stay tuned for more on our trip to Rome. I'll be adding several posts in the next couple of weeks all about it!

Simmons Family

I had the honor of taking the Simmons family's photos a couple of weekends ago (see their previous sessions here and here).

It was a bit bittersweet as this was my last session while we live here in Southern California. It was great working with Linda and her family again though. Her kids are so cute!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session:

I love his room! 

Grandparents and cousins

What a little sweetheart :)

I hope you love these as much as I do. Stay tuned for some big changes coming to the website soon!

Nolan and Violet

I just love this family! This is my daughter's best friend, Nolan, and his baby sister, Violet (who London just adores). Earlier this month, I got to take a few photos of the two of them.

We had a lot of fun at the park running around and got some really great photos! Here are some of my favorites:

Such a sweet kid

One of my favorites! Aren't her eyes just gorgeous?

Love that smile

Such a sweet photo of Mommy and her kids

Simmons

Remember these adorable kids?! Last weekend I got to do a fun session with the Simmons children and their Grandparents. It was so much fun! William has grown so much since their last session! We took a few 4 month old photos of him and some fun action shots of Ella playing on the playground. Overall, it was a great session with a great family!

Those eyes!

I love this picture

Just too sweet!

Another one that I love!

Nolan and Violet's Christmas Session

Merry Christmas! Earlier this week I got to take Christmas photos of our dear friends, Nolan and Violet. My little girl is best friends with Nolan so she got to come along as my "helper". ;) It was a bit crazy getting everything set up, but the kids had a ton of fun and the pictures came out great! See a few of my favorites below:
