We went to Pasadena today for the perfect outdoor party. A nice small gathering of family and close friends and we were honored to be labeled the latter.
Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:
I can't help myself when I see a dog, especially one that is this cute!
The uninvited guest.
Hey E, you have a little bit of cake on your face there...
Future beach bumettes
Do I play with the bubbles? Do I jump in the jumper? Such big decisions...
"Hey Baby, it's bubble time!!!"
My new toy… er, I mean camera

I am just about as pleased as punch! I stalked the UPS website today, tracking my delivery of my Canon 7D, when at 3:30 as I lay snuggled with my kids in bed, watching Ponyo for the first time, I see that glorious brown truck pull up in front of the house. I leapt out of bed as if Santa himself was ready to knock on my door and actually met the UPS guy in the middle of the lawn. I didn’t even let him get to the porch.
Giving the camera the bare minimum charging time of the battery, I took it with me to the twins’ first hip hop class. Here are some of my prize shots, no retouching – raw from the camera. Enjoy!
Off To See The Wizard

An unbelievable birthday party for two lovely sisters, age 1 and 4 up in Benedict Canyon. After climbing the 125 (!) stairs, I had the most amazing time capturing the setup of this party, coordinated by Leesa of Send In The Clowns. It was truly my pleasure to see the faces of the host and hostess, their children and all of their guests as they traveled into the Land of Oz with Dorothy, the Scarecrow and Glinda.
The Many Faces of E

I got this amazing shot of my E before her dad took her and her brother to Hawaii for a week. I was very shutter happy while I took as many pictures as I could before they were going to be away from me for the longest time in their life. With her freckles and unique eyes, it’s always wonderful when she looks straight into my lens. So I had some fun playing with this shot today while missing her and her brother so much my heart aches.
