Bella, My New Granddaughter

2009-05-26T21:24:00.000-07:00

Parker here is the proud Big Brother. He loves her so much!!!

Bella is showing off her designer bedding here, as well as her bracelet, this would have been cute without the diaper, but she would not go for it.

Isn't she Precious??

This one shows how much Nicole adores her.

Here, Nicole made her a tutu, she's got to start early you know.

This is the only one we could get a bare butt of her.

Here she is, though a bit late on the blog, but she is beautiful. She is 2-3 weeks old here, and is doing very well. She is really cute, enjoy the pictures!

2009-02-05T19:37:00.000-08:00

Well it has been a very busy couple of months. My daughter Nicole, Dan and Parker came to visit for Christmas and then Eric came home from his mission from Salt Lake City and then two days later it was Christmas. It was very busy at our place.

The most fun was seeing Eric arrive home at the airport and then watching Parker as he was soooooo amazed at the trains we got him for Christmas.

Right after the family left, I photographed Donna Darr and her family. It was so fun. Donna is from right here in Roseville. One daughter is from Grass Valley and the other daughter is from the east coast of the US. Here's another from her group.

Dog Photo Shoot

2008-10-08T10:07:00.000-07:00

So this is my first time writing in my blog, my daughter will be surprised, since she tried to get me started on this over a year ago.

I have recently found a need for animal portraits, so last week I did portraits of 4 beautiful dogs. I will introduce you to them as we go along.

This is Alfie: Mom's dog.

Say Hi to Bingo---Jerry's dog

Bingo got a little nervous and excited being at my studio!

This is Casey...Judy's dog

He was a very good boy during his portrait session.

This is Annie...Ruby's dog.
She is very well behaved, and highly adored by her pet parents. I thought it was very cute that Annie also always has one ear up and one ear down!

What a fun photo shoot with dogs!
