Oh sweet baby Holden. He is such a big boy at 3 1/2 weeks and all.that.hair! Such a cutie, he reminds me of my “little one” at that age. Mom and dad said he is normally sleeping during the day….but not today. He was awake the whole time and checking everything out.
I had been wanting to shoot here for a while, especially after taking Jace to see Thomas the Train. I was so excited when it was just what they were looking for!! I had the best time with this family. It was cold when we started and the kids weren’t feeling it too much…but then they turned into models out of nowhere saying “if you ever need to practice…call us up”. I had too many favorites and I tried to cut it down a bit for the post….
Some favs from Alannah’s family session including her cousins. We were all laughing at how easy we thought it would be and it was almost impossible to get these three to sit together and look in one direction…..these girls kept me on my toes!! Gotta love it, I always look forard to her sessions, she is such a cutie!!
Friday - J and I loaded up the kids and headed to Balboa Island for the day. We took the auto ferry to get there. Jace thought it was the coolest thing and was saying “boat,car,boat,car” the whole next day. We rented a huge bike, cruised around, rode some rides, played at the playground, took pics under the pier, ate cotton candy and even got to see dolphins out the car window on the way back. I had a blast, but the best part was asking Jace later about his day and hearing him say “dolphin,boat,car,water,bike”. He had the best time, makes it totally worth all the chaos!! 
We got so many stares in this thing, it was perfect for us….just big enough!
He’s checking out the waves behind me saying “wow”, usually all he does is look and say cheese, nice change! 
*Update* I posted this one on my myspace and received some love, so I thought I’d post it here…
We had fun playing with my new camera. Even after cruising on a bike for the past hour and a half, I still wanted some pics with my little man

What can I say? Meet the Handley/Holland Family. I’ve know Jenn and her family since we were in junior high. Jenn and I actuall met for the first time in 5th grade (thanks for reminding me Jenn, I have a bad memory). She wanted to get her boys, her dad and her brother’s family together for a family picture. The boys weren’t having it too much, but we got a few good ones
