Bella

I had to post another picture of Bella. Oh and correct a little of the information I posted earlier about her arrival. She apparently got here even earlier than I mentioned. She was here at least an hour before that. The delivery was quite an event. Steve and Summer barely made it to the hospital, but it was the wrong hospital and Steve barely had time to park the car before she arrive. Summer said they were at the hospital around 15 minutes and Bella was born. She couldn't wait to see her mom and dad. Too bad for Summer though, she didn't have time for any drugs.

Memorable Memorial Day!

I can't wait to take more pictures of this beautiful baby!!

Ethan is such a sweet big brother! Steve said he is always saying Bella is "so sweet." Really, Ethan is SO sweet! Baby Bella is beautiful. She even opened her eyes a couple of times while we were there. She weighs almost nothing. I loved holding her! Congratulations Steve and Summer!

Early & fast arrival!

Baby Bella - Bella bebe!

Bella joined the Fink family on the 21st of May, 2008 at 2:45am. She was very eager to get here since she wasn't due 'til the 28th and she barely made it to the hospital to be delivered! I have been sick so I haven't been over to see her yet, but I am SO excited! This picture is courtesy of a proud Grandma Fink! There WILL be more pictures to come!

Babies!

You never know what mood babies will be in, but it doesn't seem to matter. I love the angry faces as much as the happy and serene ones.

Of all the portraiture that I have done, babies and new mothers really capitivate me. I'll take so many pictures that sometimes I don't know what I've captured and going over them later I get really excited... and sometimes the planned photo works better than I expected. The light was perfect these days.

Birthday Week

Tyler was luck enough to have a birthday week. At least two cakes and several celebrations.

Chase was sure he was leaving. He waved goodbye and went out to the car. Thankfully he had misplaced his keys.

Sunset

Although it doesn't look it, the sun was near setting, or at least that's what dad kept telling us. Overall we were watching the sun set for an hour.

Land of the filthy rich...

The Lone Cypress of Pebble Beach. Does anyone else think $35,000,000 is a little much for a house on the beach? Some of the homes were little tiny places that were selling for at least $2 million. With scenery like this, it's almost worth it, not. Beautiful though.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

The Monterey Bay Aquarium was a blast. I think I filled my camera full of pics of jellyfish, sharks and otters. They say to get the ocean experience you should see, smell and touch the sea life. Well, I only touched one thing and that was plenty for me. Starfish are beautiful, but who knew they would make you smell like fish for the rest of the afternoon. I wonder if that's what they mean by "smell."

See what I mean...

Even after several days of playing in the dirt, eating dirt and sleeping in dirt, these boys are still beautiful!

Little slugger

Chase is a natural. I don't think he was even two when this was taken. No one had to explain how to hold the bat, stand, or swing. He just did it and he's adorable when he concentrates like this! My nephews are the cutest and I'm not biased just because I'm their aunt. They really are cute!

McMullin Wedding

Before digital.

This is from a wedding I took a couple years back (Summer's sister Whitney, gorgeous family). One of the first weddings I did with a digital camera! Why it took me so long to change over to digital, I'll never understand! Way EASIER!

These are some of the people I work with! I doubt that they as focused at work as they are on catching that football. That was a fun day and one of the first action shoots I have done, well, minus trying to get good pictures of 2 year olds could be considered an action shoot.
