Ava is Pretty in Pink

This beautiful little girl is the daughter of my amazing hair dresser and friend Maral. I have been taking pictures of Ava since she was born and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Maral, Elias and Ava will be moving up to the bay area soon, but Maral assures me I will still be Ava's official photographer. I will gladly drive up there to take pics of this little girl. Wouldn't you? :)

Jodie & Collin

I took these pictures a few weeks ago of my new friends. They were married in December and you can tell they are so much in love with each other. Jodie and I work together at Fresno Pacific and Collin is my cousin Kaylan's best friends, Courtney, brother. Did you follow that? Anyway, Jodie and I joke that we are related somehow. I totally believe it!

And they lived happily ever after.

My Girls

So here are some pictures of my girls. These are the two beautiful daughters of my best friend Kari and her husband Dave Ramos. Avi and Tessa are the sassiest 5 and 1 year old I have ever met. The one thing in this world that makes me the most upset is that I don't get to see them enough. I love them and miss them terribly. There are only a few things that make my heart skip a beat and one of those things is the sound of Avi yelling "Nina!" with joy when she sees me walking up the walk to their house. Not much else can beat that. :)

The Ones I Love

I took these pictures a few days ago of my favorite family. I have to say they are some of my favorites so far. I wish I could take the credit for the back ground, that idea was Sarah's. I wish I could also take credit for the most adorable boys in the world, that honor falls to Brandon and Sarah. I'm just thankful that I get to be a part of these boys lives and have the amazing privilege of photographing them.

Megan & Matt

And they all lived happily ever after!

The Roberts Family

This is one of my favorite families to take pictures of and just happen to be one of the families I love most in this world. This is my cousin Brandon, his wife Sarah, and their two incredibly handsome children Cole Patrick and Silas Clay. I have to say I feel very privileged to be a part of this family. Brandon is the big brother I never had, even though he is younger than me, Sarah is a dear friend and confidante, someone I'm not sure how I lived without for so many years, and the boys are the light of my life. It's that simple. Cole is the most energetic almost 2 year old I think I have ever meet. He is always bouncing, literally, from one place to the other. Silas is 5 months old and just sits there quietly observing what everyone else is doing. You can already tell that he has a personality all his own and I can't wait to see it.

These first few pics where taken at Sarah's graduation from Fresno Pacific University this month. I am so proud of her and this accomplishment.

This picture of Cole is one of my favorites. It was taken back in December while we were all out playing at the park.

This picture was taken on December 4, just a few hours after Silas Clay Roberts entered the world. This one is also a favorite of mine.

Here is Si-Guy at 3 months old. Isn't he the cutest. I certainly think so!

My Assistant

As some of you may know I always shoot with an assistant. I have two at the moment but today I wanted to show you some of the work of one of them, Kaylan Roberts. She is my cousin and the other half of my brain. I love her more than words can say and trust her with everything, hence why we work so well together. When I asked her to work with me I new she had a good eye because she had played with my camera before, what I didn't know is that she had a great eye! These are some of the first pics she took with me, her training day (which didn't requite much trainging as you may be able to tell). These are pictures of Sarah Stryd. Kaylan's pics are amazing and I am so glad that I discovered her first! I love you K!

So here they are, pictures by Kaylan Roberts.
