Do the Trav-Hop!

Trav and I had a lot of fun the other day. I was borrowing a friend's SLR so I'd have an extra for a shoot (thanks Justin) and so Trav and I went down to Dana Point for a while and took pictures of things.

Here is a fun new shot(s) I took of Travis!

Here are a few others from that day:






Here are a few of Trav's images!

Brian, Cristina & Kylie

I had a lot of fun visiting my brothers and sister-in laws and their kids. I love being an aunt and being apart of their lives. On the last day of my visit with my brother Brian, his wife Cristina, and their baby girl Kylie, I did a photoshoot of them. Here are a few images from the shoot.

Family!!!

I just got back today from a 4 day trip to Nor Cal to visit my two brothers, their wives, and my niece and nephews. It was so much fun being there with all of them- it seemed too short. I will add more pictures later, but for now... I just HAD to post this picture- I love it!!



In photo: Kevin, Kellie, Joshua, Jacob, "Aunit Jan", Brian, Cristina, and Kylie

I love you guys and can't wait to see you again!!

Emily & Jeff's Engagement Shoot

This past weekend I got to shoot an Engagement session for Emily & Jeff. They were a lot of fun. Emily and Jeff have been dating for nearly 5 years now, and said they were nervous to do the photo shoot because they have become such best friends that they didn't know if they knew how to be all "cutesy" and "lovey-dovey". Ahh... that's so cute! But believe me, I found them being "lovey-dovey" quite a few times- they've still got it!

Here are a few of my favorites from our day down in San Juan. You guys were great, and I can't wait to do your wedding.








Ha! You got caught by the paparazzi!

Jaque

Jaque. You will be missed a lot and often. Your big beautiful smile was so contagious. I will miss you twin.

I don't have words right now.

Portugal!!

Here are a few photos from near the end of my Europe trip. These are near and around Libon. Portugal is so beautiful and has so many neat things to see. In Lisbon we stayed with Cassy's cousin Luis (thanks Luis) and his roommates- who were great fun! This first picture is the view from a castle (hence the canon). There are a lot of castles in Portugal, most of them on top of hills which were originally designed that way for self defense, but now make for beautiful views from the top.




Also, Cassy's other cousin Nunu took us to this beautiful park. It is called the Poets Park and is filled with poems of Portugese poets and really amazing architecture.


Another beautiful castle:

Its amazing what friends let you do....

One of the days that Cassy, Jess and I were relaxing in Figuera de Foz, Portugal, Cassy wasn't feeling very well and was sleeping so Jess agreed to let me do a photo shoot of her. She said she was up for anything and I took her up on it. haha. So I did her hair and make-up, we picked out and out fit and out we went. Jess was great, and being that she use to be a photographer she was really easy to work with and -I think- could bear with me as I changed lenses or told her to skooch over just a bit for some cool lighting effect. It was a lot of fun- thanks for being such a great sport Jess!

It's amazing what friends let you do.
