I've been wanting to post these baby photos for a while now, and finally the time has come! David and Adrienne are the proud, loving, and at the moment -very tired- parents of this sweet little baby girl. Ella was just the ideal baby to photograph. She slept like a baby throughout most of the session. We had a couple of unforgettable moments that involved some drycleaning after the session, but it just makes us all laugh to think about it! Here are some of my favorites from Ella's newborn session.





















She has such beautiful blue eyes!








 And finally, the happy family!

Having lived in Arizona for two years now, I have grown to appreciate the desert landscape, somewhat. Yes, saguaros look magnificent at times, but sometimes I miss seeing trees. Lots of them. Thank goodness I don't have to look too far for something more spectacular than I could have ever imagined here! Yup, about two hours north of the Phoenix metro area is a place where the leaves actually change colors...I didn't even see much of this back in California. Now I have it practically in my backyard. What a blessing!

I seriously felt like I was in a magical fairyland hiking through the woods up in Sedona. There was an explosion of color that was just candy for the eyes. I took tons of photos and want to share them all, but that would make this post go on forever...so I'll cut down on the pics and make two posts out of this. Consider this a preview of the goodness that's to come in the next post!  =)






Certain parts were still green, which was just as beautiful!

I love attending weddings. Especially when it's a friend's wedding and all your other friends are going to be there. It's like a huge party with everyone there to share in the love and have a rockin' good time! That's what it was like at Tho and Marisa's wedding in the Bay Area.

It was a gorgeous October day, a beautiful day to be married.

Congratulations you two!!! We are so happy to have you guys join the Married Person's Club! =)
