My lil cutie pie already at 12 weeks as last Tuesday! She's growing bigger and bigger, sweeter and sweeter each day. Her smile and laugh is really contagious! Hope you had a great Memorial weekend my friend.

It has been extremely hot and humid here in Virginia Beach..I think it's going to be in the 90s today! yikes! I wore a floaty skirt with a silk floral blouse to keep me cool and paired it with gold sandals. Love my flower hairpins from missy Sandy! Sandy sent these over to me after I had Kaylee, so sweet! Blouse Bebe Skirt Arden B Glasses H&M Sandals Carlos by Carlos Santana Earrings NY Co Hairpins Gift from Sandy a la Mode Today is my Friday, Friday (in singing voice-gosh I hate that song!) Yay for a 4 day weekend coming up! Btw notice my background? It's honeycomb blue! I found it here ! and thanks for all the sweet comments on my first engagement photoshoot!

I have always love photography but never got serious with it until I had my baby girl about 3 months ago. See her lovely pictures here. I have been taking photos of Kaylee weekly and monthly and was never satisfied with the lighting..maybe because I pretty much just shoot in auto since I had no idea how to shoot in manual. Because of her, I was determined to learn so I can document everything precious of her. Oh and if your new to my blog, I recently I upgrade from Canon xsi to Canon t3i too! Love it! Ok enough about my yapping..over the weekend I shot Diane and Billy's engagement photos and we had an awesome time! It was easy to capture them beautifully because they are a gorgeous couple! Hope you enjoy them! I noticed any picture with Diane smiling, the picture turn out to look beautifully!

I mentioned last week that I have never done an engagement shoot before..so I was really excited when Diane had asked me to shoot their photos. Here is just a little preview of the shoot today. Kaylee is not permitting me to do more editing at the moment so here is just what I have so far. Will be posting more this week. { Before meeting up with Diane and Billy, I went to the location a bit earlier to take some test shots } I met Diane through work and she is the most sweetest and nicest girl I have met..can't forget gorgeous too! It was such a fun photoshoot and hoping to do more like these! More to come! Thanks Diane and Billy for trusting in me to take your engagement photos!!!

Testing out my new camera (yes again) with Kaylee yesterday and got pretty awesome shots of her..so I just had to share! I have been shooting in Av mode (Aperture-priority) to get depth of field (blurred background and sharp foreground) Kaylee is such a great model for mommy! She is so fascinated with hands at the moment! I will be doing an engagement photo shoot for a dear friend this weekend. I'm pretty excited and nervous at the same time since this is my first time doing a shoot for anyone. O_o I'm just honored that she want me to take her photos! Happy weekend everyone!

Hubby and I took a trip to Vegas before I had Kaylee. I was 13 weeks pregnant and we knew this would be our last trip for awhile. Boy did we had fun! ::::::::::::: “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” aaron siskind Come join in the fun and embrace the camera! link up!

Here are some photos I took with my new camera Canon T3i. Love it but I still got so much to learn! Planning on reading the manual but haven't had much time to myself lately..busy busy mom! Im amazed that my orchids are still alive! I got it from Hubby for Valentine's day and it's still growing strong. I normally kill all my plants and flowers after couple weeks. Baby Kaylee already at 11 weeks. My other baby girl {with a bad haircut..I gave her a new haircut over the weekend :D } They really love each other She's starting to suck her hand now. Last week photo of Kaylee at 10 weeks Anyone own a T3i or T2i? How do you like it? I still haven't really figure out the video option yet. Here is a video I did of Kaylee with G12 Canon. This is by far my favorite video of her. She's already talking..or trying to :D
