california on my mind ~children's photographer

i'm sick of the cold.
i'm tired of freezing my bum off when i'm outside.
i'm not a fan of winter.
and so i decided to add some pictures from my california trip this past september...to remind me of the warm sunshine, our awesome friends the richards, and the beach.

i can't wait til summer.

XOXOXOXOX

lenny ~albuquerque pet photographer

the truth is, we rarely ever take our dog to the dog park because 1) we think most of the people there are weirdos and 2) our dog attacks other dogs.
(maybe i should have put that reason first...)

but we decided to get out last weekend when the weather was perfect and much to our surprise lenny got along REALLY WELL with his kind. he even met a boxer puppy and they played. that's a big deal to us because usually at the dog park he runs in and starts taking dogs down left and right (to which we respond with uncontrollable nervous laughter and promptly leave.)

not this time!

besos!

XOXOXOX

hangin in the guest room ~denver/ albuquerque children's photographer

while staying in jacqui's lovely guest room on our recent denver visit, the boys and i stayed up til the wee hours in the morning goofing around.
they stripped off their pajama tops and flexed muscles, compared bellies and acted like the little fools they are.
these two have a particularly special bond. they share a bedroom at home and have so many inside jokes i've lost track.
all i know is that they make each other laugh like crazy.
this one evening was no exception.
so glad i decided not to be lazy--and pulled my camera out.

elly jane ~albuquerque newborn photographer

my dear, dear friends just adopted a baby girl.
she is their fourth child.
what a blessed little soul she is.
with all that is going on in the world right now, i found it so comforting to photograph the beginnings of elly's life.
she has been adopted into a wonderful family who will guide her, protect her
and surround her with love all of her days.
God does answer prayers.
elly is living proof of that.

four daughters! ~albuquerque family photographer

i told this family that they were my dream family.
in another life, i was supposed to be surrounded by a handful of daughters, and spend my extra time happily braiding hair, painting fingernails, running my girls to gymnastics, ballet and barbie shopping. (is any of this realistic? i wouldn't know, i only have boys. and they refuse to do any of the above....)

so here they are, the most fun group of gals and their super sweet parents. i imagine you are required to have a good sense of humor when raising four girls (or four people in general) and these parents totally bore with me and my spastic non-stop blabbing. i was in heaven--girlie heaven--and it brought out the happy in me.

lil miss (below) is graduating this year and so i paid some extra attention to her and took some super sweet senior pics.

thank you fuller family.
truly this shoot was a blast for me.

mucho love,
bri
