Over Thanksgiving vacation my family headed north to our hometown to be with family and friends. I don't mind working on vacation when "work" looks like this!
This shoot was shot on my friends farm in my hometown of Vacaville. When I arrived I was greeted with a glass of white wine and this gorgeous sunset! Mid shoot we were visited by a horse and a goat and we wrapped up with a dinner at my favorite restaurant will many friends.
It was so wonderful to capture this for your family this year Lindsey ♥

Every Thanksgiving I take advantage of my kids being dressed up, drag them into a field, bribe them to smile so I can snap a few pics! This year the 49ers were playing, naturally we ditched the dressier clothes and instead showed our team spirit! I only had a few minutes to take these before all the festivities begun. Surprisingly, even with about 15 mins to shoot these came out great! Now if only I could say the same about how the Niners played that day.... Whomp Whomp!
In early March, I traveled to Chicago, Illinois. My sweet friend Melissa, and her family welcomed me into their home and showed me around the city. Melissa and I have been internet friends since we were pregnant with our oldest daughters. Despite our 8 years of 'friendship,' this was our first time meeting and from the moment I arrived, I was treated like family. I was treated to deep dish pizza and craft beer, amazing homemade vegetarian meals, hot coffee on snowy mornings and brisk afternoon snowy walks, Chicago style hot dogs and smooshy baby cuddles! Obviously, I needed to return their over the top hospitality with pictures of their sweet family!
Thank you, Melissa and Tony for the home away from home!
Foot tall snowman I made so I could send pics of it home to my kids!
And an Instagram I took of Melissa while there. I was seriously blown away by this woman. I am truly inspired by this woman and so grateful to call her my friend.
I need to up my mom game. Melissa wins all the mothering awards. Seriously amazed at how awesome she is!
