Emily and Joe's Maternity - Montana de Oro, Ca.

Joe and my husband have known each other for 15+ years. Joe is practically family and Emily is proving to fit right in :) I am happy to know these two and I am very excited to see them as the wonderful parents I know they will be. We went on a nice leisurely walk around the flattest part of Montana de Oro since Emily is due on the 30th of this month...yeah, that's only a week away. After our stroll we went back to their house for some belly shots....yes pregnant woman can be hot, big belly and all.

Michelle and Caleb's Maternity - Arroyo Grande, Ca.

I have been friends with Michelle for 12 years, this is the longest friendship I have ever had. I am so excited to see this wonderful woman as a mother and for her to know the blessing and unending love of a child. Being a mother is a day after day reminder of God's love for us and one of the coolest things to experience. Congratulations Michelle and Caleb you guys are going to be wonderful parents!

Thanksgiving-Yosemite, Ca.

Jesse, Jude and I spent this past Thanksgiving nestled together in a cabin in Yosemite for four days. It was beautiful, crisp, fresh and covered in powdery snow. We were also joined by six of the coolest people to walk this earth, our great friends we are so blessed to know. This was not Jude's first visit to the snow, but I am sure this will be his first memory of it...he LOVED it, especially eating it. Jude and I built a snowman together that later got sacrificed in a great snowball battle. I hope you enjoy the photos. :)

Sierra and John's Engagement - Santa Barbara, Ca.

Their wedding is going to be a blast.
