Sisters & their wonderful Kids

 It was a wonderful, warm summer morning in Fort Irwin when I met with this wonderful family :) It was a lot of fun and arent these kids just adorable?

4th of July with my boys :)

Because of block leave here on Fort Irwin there were no 4th of July celebrations. But instead they had "Movie in the Park".

The Boys had so much fun and of course I had my camera with me. These two are just my favorite models in front of my camera. They give me inspiration for future photo shoots and are some of my biggest supporters :)

I love you Aiden Royce and Noah Liam :)

My In Laws from Australia :)

I had my Mother in Law and her Husband Brian here in CA as they visited from Australia :)

We had an awesome couple of days and the boys love their grandma and granddad so much!

Some of my products

I am working with this amazing printer and I LOVE every product they have... here are some I offer :)

The Luna Girls :D

These 3 are some of my favorite people on this earth. I always have so much fun with them and unfortunately this was our last photo shoot for a while as she moved to Alaska :( But as always when you have 3 beautiful women in front of the lens... the pictures turned out AMAZING!!

And Mariella is also the owner of Sweetlil Bowtique! Her bows and hats are just awesome!!

If you are a fellow photographer or have a little girl go check her out!

Little Hank the Tank :)

I had so much fun with little Hank and his parents! We laughed and just overall had fun. This was a very natural photo shoot and i loved the way it turned out. It sure was so much fun to work with such an amazing family :)

Little Chloe

She is such a sweet little Angel. She was my first newborn (besides my own) that i was able to take pictures off.  It was so much fun and the pictures turned out awesome!

Mothersday is around the corner! Go book your mothersday special today. Just Mommy alone or with the children! It will be lots of fun!! Hope to see you!!

{BABYSHOWER}

Last Saturday I attended a Babyshower that I was also booked for. It was so much fun :) Cute presents, awesome delicious cake and other goodies and nice company.

After the guest left and everything was cleaned up we did a little Family Photoshoot for the dad that is currently deployed to Iraq. The pictures turned out awesome and arent those kids just adorable? And Mommy was just glowing :)

{Ice Cream} & my busy busy week

Hi! I hope everyone had a wonderful Weekend! 

I have been pretty busy last week with worrying about my husbands pay and a potential shutdown {I am so thankful it didnt happen} & running to doctors, ER and dentist with my oldest son. He had a cough, runny nose and running a fever. He was just miserable just laying on the couch watching TV or sleeping. Thank god he is feeling better now but he gave it to my youngest boy too :( So we had to start all over again :-S

So we just have been staying at home and relax with one of my addictions :)

Before I moved to California I never had this kind of ice cream before and now I am hooked! If I could I would eat a whole cup at once. It sure is addicting :)

I hope that everyone has a good start of the next week and hope to see ya soon... oh and before I forget!!

I decided that I will have a giveaway this month!! So watch out for the next Blog! 

I fell in {LOVE}

I have been searching for a nice camera bag for a while and i was never really satisfied by what was offered. I am a woman...when i think of a "BAG" I expect something nice.
I have several Photographer friends on Facebook and so many have talked about Kelly Moore and today I finally went on her page.
I have to say...I AM IN LOVE!!! I looked at all this bags and one is just everything that i have been looking for in a bag.

The Libby Bag

I am so thankful that there are woman out there like Kelly Moore. 

I love all of her work.

Fundraiser Garage Sale for Japan Victims on {Fort Irwin}

DKMS- {where leukemia meets its match}

Today I want to write about something that is really important to me.
The fight against Leukemia...
Last year i registered myself as a bone morrow donor... it was fast and easy...and it DOESN'T hurt at all!
If you want to know more about registering yourself as a bone morrow donor go to  DKMS Americas. DKMS is the largest Bone Morrow Donor Center in the world with over 2 Million registered Donors. But there are still thousands of people that are desperately searching for their match. Do you want to make a difference in this world?
Order your little kit and get swapped!!

My first week at our new home...Fort Irwin, California.

Hello everyone....

Its been a little over a week since I arrived at Fort Irwin and I got to be honest its not what i expected...its not that bad. I like it here...A LOT! I have heard so many bad stories about this place and so far i dont agree with it.

Yes its the desert but there is something about the desert that seems so beautiful to me.

So I am very happy that for the next few years I can call FORT IRWIN my home :)

My sisters wedding :) Austin and Lisa Sinks

Not only did i had one wedding in January...I had two

My little sister got married. :)

I am so happy that i gained a new brother :) And of course that they trusted me with the pictures :)

All the best Austin & Lisa!!

Duhachek Wedding

Back in January i was honored to take the pictures of my dear friendsWedding.

It was 16hrs of hard but FUN work!

Their wedding was beutiful, the dress was stunning and family "adopted" us to their family.

I was a very traditional German wedding and I started with the preparation at the Hairdresser : 

after the Hairdresser we waited on the groom to arrive so i took the pictures of the bouquet and their wedding bands:

The Standesamt (court house) ceremony:

I found a little assistant in the grooms niece :) she was adorable

This is a german tradition at a wedding.

Between the courthouse ceremony we went to the Ludwigsburg Castle....

The Pictures turned out amazing.

And with my luck i almost pushed over one of these 50.000EURO vases... thank god nothing happend.

But it sure is a fun memory that i will be telling my grandchildren :)

The Church Ceremony/Baptism of their son.

And the reception... it sure was alot of fun :) And i am so glad i was a part of this

Their family made them a DIA Show, it was filled with smiles, laughter and tears.

Even i shed some :)

I wish them all the best in the future and i hope they will be happy forever :)
