Athena.

This past Saturday I had the honor of photographing this beauty's sweet 16 party. So, I wanted to share some portraits from our session at Capitola in October. I have to say that I am so impressed by this girl. Not only is she absolutely stunning but she is a complete sweetheart and total trooper! You see the water that she is in in the picture above? Well I was in it too and it was FREEZING. She wasn't just willing to get in it, but she didn't even flinch at the cold. It was such a fun shoot with her and her family, who drove 6 hours round trip just for the shoot. I'm such a lucky girl to have such amazing clients who will drive all that way to have me photograph them. And then to have clients who are sweet and look like this? Well that is just the cherry on top. I swear I could have photographed her all day!

Week 35: Capitola

For our week 35 shoot we headed out to beautiful Capitola to feel the sand on our feet and scare little children with my giant belly. We both would love live there one day. He grew up on the beaches in South France so I know he would love for his little guy to get to do the same. For now we will just have to take him as often as we can. Those colored homes make me swoon every time.

(that's right, I jumped like that at 35 weeks pregnant- not quite as high as him =) - taken in one try too)

Pictures from the shower coming soon and some belly painting fun! I got a really great surprise that made the shower extra special. =)
