Last Day Of The Year - 2013 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It was a perfect day to take a hike in Placerita Canyon.
We met this wise one...

Our last self portrait of 2013...

It's amazing to think that people used to live out here in cabins that they built with their own hands.  This is the ruins of an old fireplace...

Christmas Day 2013

Having a fun visit with my dear friend Tammie.

Making our Christmas Card

I look forward to making our cards every year.  This year we shot a "frozen" theme.

Working with ice is so much fun.  You never know what you're going to get.  As I was holding the ice it was melting and crackling and it looked different every few minutes.

Then things got dramatic.  Lights went off and we started shooting.

And here's our frozen Christmas Card.  Merry Christmas everyone!

Photo Weekend

Spent the weekend taking family portraits.  We shot 28 portraits in the past week - that's a lot of photos!  Here's the last shot of the day...we definitely had the sillies...

Here's some other fun shots:

We've been shooting Sophia since she was born but it's so much more fun now that she's older and likes taking photos with us.

Sophie took this picture of us.  Pretty good shot Sophie!
