Brent, Amanda and Elliott. Family Portraits.

I consider myself very lucky to call these three friends. They lived about 4 doors away from us in Arizona and we miss them a lot. Elliott recently turned one and has become a little man. He was absolutely EVERYWHERE! (Quite different from this shoot.) Thanks for taking your vacation to San Diego . . . it was wonderful to see you and we must make it a tradition!

Amanda is a sign language interpreter and is teaching Elliott the sign for 'water.'

p.s. This was so much fun and made me miss Arizonans! If you are from Arizona, but want a photo shoot during your next trip to San Diego please let me know. I will give you a deal!

Laurie and Nick's Wedding.

My youngest 'other' sister is married! I have known her since she was 12 and I can hardly believe she is now all grown up. Laurie is such an amazing person and I think she has found a perfect match in Nick. They are totally in love and totally silly. Thanks you two for letting me share the day with you . . . it was wonderful and I love you both!

They were married in the beautiful LDS San Diego Temple.

Nick and his sweet mom, Carolyn.

Aunt Laurie and her favorite nieces.

(Of course, on Nick's side there are 10 other girls to compete with!)

My awesome, crazy family. Thanks Kim!

Serious . . . ha!

After the temple we drove all over Encinitas . . .

These two are seriously so goofy together!
