So In Love {Chelsea & John Paul} - Engagement Photos

Gotta LOVE San Diego in December!  Where else could you take pictures at the beach in the "winter" time.  Had so much fun taking pictures of this adorable couple who are so in love!!  I've know John Paul and his family for years and they are dear friends.  I felt so honored to be asked to take engagement pictures of him and his beautiful fiance' Chelsea.  They are absolutley adorable together and I truly enjoyed watching them share sweet moments of kisses and giggles.  Its so refreshing to see two young people so in love and so excited for what their future holds together!!  These are a few of my favorites. 

Congratulations John Paul & Chelsea!

December Beach FUN!

Today was a BEAUTIFUL day in San Diego.  One of the luxuries of living here.  We've been stuck in the house with the flu and cold weather.  So it was nice to finally get out of the house and enjoy the sun.  The kids had a great time exploring this part of the beach we had never been too.  They loved all the little tide pools and found some interesting creatures and some beautiful shells.

Our Family Photos

I know I didn't take these pics, BUT my wonderful sister-in-law did and then I edited them so I was part of the process :)  Just had to share these pictures of my beautiful family.  They turned out really good and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family.  Each of my children are such a tremendous blessing in my life and I am so grateful to be married to me very best friend!!!  We always have so much fun together and the kids got so excited when I pulled out the mustaches.  We had a lot of giggling going on!

Crazy Fun - Family Photography

So today my family and I had our Family Photos done.  My sister-in-law offered to take them at a park that we love.  In exchange for taking ours, she wanted me to take their family photos.  So we all headed down to the park.  While she took our pictures my brother and the kids wandered the park.  Well to make a long story short, after we were done, they realized they had left the bag with my nieces' outfit at home. (She was asleep when they left so she was still in her jammies)  They really wanted a picture for their Christmas cards, so we went back to their house and did an impromptu photo shoot.  The lighting wasn't perfect, but hey its for a Christmas card!  They loved the mustaches we used in our pictures so it ended up being really fun and everyone was in a very goofy mood, which made for some hilarious pictures. Now they can send out their Christmas cards and we can schedule a family photo shoot for after the holidays.
