.Jamisen and Jacksen. {double the fun}

These two beauties are approaching their 1 year birthday on March 16th. We are planning on photographing them again around that time, maybe having a cupcake showdown? At birth they were tiny little ones…Jamisen weighing in at 4lbs 1oz and Jacksen weighing in at a mere 3lbs 3ozs. Their personalities are so adorable it has been so much fun watching them grow over the last year into little people! Stay tuned for upcoming birthday photographs……

Maybe we should take bets on who will rule the cupcake showdown?

Annie & Isabel

I am very excited for my two very good friends who are presently starting a much needed company!

Annie and Isabel is a company recently started by Selena Srabian and Anna Ryan. Sisters and registered nurses, both saw a need to create a hospital gown that patients could look and feel good in. During their many years of experience the two have heard patients complain about the thin, torn and sometimes stained gowns that don’t really cover very much. Their beautiful gowns are made for anyone who may have to spend time in the hospital or may be recovering at home. The gowns are designed to wrap around the back and tie on the side and snap at the shoulders to provide full coverage and comfort. The custom hospital gowns are made from 100% high quality cotton with beautiful grosgrain trim and as you can see they come in lots of different attractive and fun styles. Additionally the gowns are made to fit all body types, from XS to XXL.

“Our ultimate goal is to help make someone’s recovery a little more pleasant, positive and comfortable”.

Look for their soon to be launched website and blog….. and here a few teasers of what they are doing!

PIETRA’S VILLAGE

My friend Angela was so kind to call me and let me know there was a family

that would very much treasure my work as a volunteer photographer.

I am so fortunate to meet and get to know the “Duffy” family….

Pietra’s Village – Fundraiser

THE DUFFY FAMILY

Welcome to Pietra’s Village

“It takes a village” is a phrase that the Cameron Park Community takes to heart.  One of our families needs our help.  Right before Christmas 2009 Pietra Duffy (mom, wife, friend, KidzArt teacher) was diagnosed with Stage 3B non-small cell adenocarcinoma (lung cancer – nonsmoker).  Two weeks later, Shawn Duffy was laid off from his job.

Right now 100 percent of their efforts have to be focused on curing Pietra – helping her get through every day of grueling chemotherapy and the side effects that are inevitable.   We do not want them to have the added stress of the fear of losing their home because they can’t afford the increased cost of COBRA and other medical expenses.

We are holding a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser – and not your ordinary Spaghetti dinner – PAPA GIANNI’S SPAGHETTI dinner.   There will be lots of incredible raffle items.   Please come and join Pietra’s Village by coming to our dinner/fundraiser or donating directly to the family below!

Shauna’s got talent!

While visiting {Bethany} at the hospital and doing some {day after the baby is born} photography,  I was happy she was feeling well enough after her “C” section to open up a gift a friend had left for her while I was still there.  She had mentioned to me how talented her friend Shauna was and that she was excited to see the gift. WOW….what a lovely surprise!  Shauna had made a beautiful quilted blanket and matching T-shirts for little Matthew. AS I MENTIONED SHAUNA….you have talent and I encourage you to take your fun/hobby as you called it to another level! I know Bethany will treasure this gift for a lifetime!

I also want to mention in this post the lovely gown Bethany is wearing was made by my good friends Anna and Selena.

I will be posting more about their wonderful up and coming business……

Future Runway Model…… {Sacramento Model Portfolio Photography}

Meet Natasia! She is only a sophmore in high school but already has a dream of becoming a model and working the runway. With those amazing endless legs, I have no doubt she will achieve her dream. I very much enjoyed our short session and boy does she know how to work the camera.
