I attended and photographed Jammy Jam 2010 at the PortoVista Hotel back in February and how much fun was that?! It was a FUN night of a grown up sleep over where Timeless Salon came in and did hair and makeup, ELF cosmetics came in and donated their makeup, Stills by Hill (me!) did boudoir photography sessions, Passion Parties had their fun products for sale, Meltology had a beautiful set up and did hand and foot treatments, and ViretueIMC planned the event! I can’t wait for the second one August 13– I will be doing complimentary mini-headshots during then and offering a SPECIAL JammyJam promotion ONLY to people who attend!

Search #jammyjam on twitter for the deets on the next event!

If you haven’t had a chance to check out NaturalBabyPros.com and what they have on their site, you are missing out. Can I tell you how AWESOME they are?! I might be a little bias because I am very into natural birthing and living– however I hope others will see the value in them too.

They had their launch party in February and I was there to capture it all for them… how fun to see so many people together in one spot who believe so strongly in the importance of natural birth and all have the same feeling toward it. Chickpeas was there with some REALLY yummy natural baby food along with Dining Details! Moby wraps were a sponsor and if you haven’t tried one you should look into it I love mine.

Anyway, Aimee, Amy & Jen are so awesome… I look forward to photographing more events for them and helping them build this awesome business!

Michael & Michelle’s vow renewal was one of the most genuinely sweet things I have seen a daughter do for her parents. Melissa and I go pretty far back, and I was more then honored when she called me to photograph her parents SURPRISE vow renewal for her parents. The event was at the beautiful Hacienda Club in La Habra and guests enjoyed music by Afterburn Productions (they were really good). Michelle was thinking when she entered that she was heading to a Man of the Year award ceremony and because she was running late they played a trick on her by pointing her out when she walked in… hence her “hello! I’m here! Haha!” when she first walked in… then she realized she was NOT at a man of the year award ceremony! Her reaction was priceless.

The love between Michael and Michelle is so sweet and I couldn’t help but just see myself and my husband in 25 more years of marriage being as happy as they were.

We had our first annual halloween mini-shoot on October 30th here at the new studio and it was SO much fun! All the little ones running around definitely broke in the new pad It was very hard picking the best ones to show, but I don’t think any of these kids can take a bad picture!

I find it funny (maybe a bit sad) I don’t have a picture of my little love bug (er– witch) from the session Bad mommy!

Enjoy!

See you all next year!
