The Aldrich Family

This field has become quite popular for pics!   It is hard to stray away when you know the light will yield these gorgeous sunny warm images.   Of course this family was incredibly fun and made my job easy.    I honestly could not get enough of these kids!   They were so much fun...and what is about 6 year old girls that just ham it up in front of the camera?  sheesh...
ENJOY!

On the road...first stop...MAILBOXES!!

Last week we decided to surprise the kids and take them on a little road trip to Palm Desert... kinda a last ditch effort to have some fun before summer is over.    We love going out the "back" way through Anza.    Along the way is this little turn off with a ton of mailboxes.  I have been eyeing this spot for years and have never had the opportunity to stop with my "real" camera and take some pics usually because kids are sleeping, or we are in a hurry, or I forgot the camera!   Well, this time it was ALMOST a perfect opportunity.   The sky was full of thunder clouds and the air smelled of rain...only problem was, one kid was sleeping.   Oh well, we went with it anyways and here are a few of my favorite shots.

 even I got in a few!!!  

this is my husbands.. "are you done taking pics yet" look

miller snoozing through the whole thing... thunder and all...

and that's the story of our little stop at the mailboxes....   sad to say, I didn't take any other pics of our trip!!

Here comes BABY

Meet Brandt & Michelle and their beautiful baby bump.    Seriously, I had such a hard time going through these pics.....only because I couldn't choose which ones to keep!   They were all so stunning!   I always think the first pregnancy of a couple is something so special.   I am so excited for them to welcome their baby boy in September. Congrats you two.. and thanks for making me look good:)
