Julie & Laina - Christmas Photos

November 9, 2018

I was trying to put together our family Christmas card this year and decided that even though our summer photos were amazing, they just don't work for winter. I was wracking my brain, trying to figure out a cool set up to create in the studio without having to drag all of my Christmas decorations all the way there, when I realized the look I wanted was possible right at the house! It took some rearranging... moving the dresser, bed, and hanging up string lights and garland... and honestly I bought some new pillow and an expensive blanket for it but whatever! All in the name of good photos.

The girls were really good and they like their adorable sweater dresses. They even got to wear "makeup" (blush to make their cheeks rosy) for their photo shoot. I love my pretty little ladies!

^Awwww they are so pretty!

^SNUGGLES!!!

^The whole photo shoot was centered around these outfits ;)

^"Hot cocoa"

^Laughing!

^Cheers.

^Sweethearts.

^Ahhh, sweet rewards.

Corgis in the Park

October 27, 2018

Right after we told Ricky we'd go to the zoo with them on Saturday, we found out there was Corgis in the Park at Riverside. So after the zoo, we got some lunch and headed over. We missed most of it, and parked in the wrong spot but luckily we saw lots of corgis heading out and the kids got to pet so many of them. Also I was in heaven as I love those little creatures :D

^A not-corgi and an interesting mix!

^Most pleasant!

^All the pets.

^I like orange ones.

^Friends :) 

Zoo Goes Boo with Neil

October 27, 2018

It was kind of last minute but we were invited to go with Ricky, Christa and Neil to Zoo Goes Boo so we did it. Not too cold out, and we broke out last year's Sailor Moon and Sailor Mini Moon outfits to go. We were able to find a lot more treat stations this year AND quite a few animals were ready to hang out with us up close and personal! Julie and Neil bonded and had lots of fun together.

^My favorite girls.

^We found Neil, let's go!

^Collection treats like a boss.

^Chasing a rooster.

^Bear!

^This was CRAZY! Closest we've ever been to the tigers!

^Walking with Daddies.

Toddler Ween - 2018

October 2018

Another exciting Halloween event! It isn't quite the same as our old parties, but it's still a blast! This year, we had ALL EIGHT kids able to walk (or should I say RUN) around the studio and have a blast together. It's gets tricky to keep them all in one spot, but we managed all right! Check out the cute costumes.

^Ellie as Cleo from Monster High.

^Simon as a Mummy Moe ;)

^Kasen as Yoda.

^Allie as a unicorn fairy (she added the unicorn part last minute, I'm told)

^Livvy as a mermaid.

^Laina as Scuba-Lu

^Julie as "Princess" Charlotte (from Princess and the Frog)

^Moe babies.

^Big girls! They are much more cooperative as they are getting older!

^Grooving!

^Adalynn is at the "I refuse" age ;)

^Livvy, you are such a cutie.

^"Who wants a Cheerio?"

^Yoda is trying to steal the fairy's snacks!

^We spent half of our time there just RUNNING.

^Still running.

^All the hugs.
