Funky Monkey Photography — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:06:16 PST

Welcome to the world, sweet Clementine! Isn’t that a great name? She’s the third baby in this family, and big brother and big sister are very smitten with her for sure.

Happy New Year 2013!

Happy New Year 2013! I hope we see each other and have great fun together! I wish you all the best this year. Lots of love and happiness.

I also wanted to send a big thank you to all of our clients, friends, supporters, fans, vendors we worked for a wonderful year. 2012 was really good to me both family and business wise. We welcomed our second daughter, Maya, in July! What a little miracle she is. We took a trip to Disney World for my first daughter’s 6th birthday and it was magical. We saw lots of our close family members and spend quality time with friends. I took off a couple of months for a maternity leave but still ended up seeing lots of my loyal clients and meet new ones for the pre-holiday portrait season.

I have big plans for 2013! Lots of wonderful new offerings, great changes, improvements and innovations. All to be revealed here when ready. Don’t forget to check the latest news on our FaceBook page!

I also want to blog more – I have to many sneak peeks to share, funny things my kids say, and more. So invite you back here soon…

Until then, I will leave you with the 2 more cherished faces in our house:) 6 years old and 5 months old here.

As I’m going through a ton of fall sessions, I just wanted to update you all that we’re still here and busier than ever! Too busy to post sneak peaks but I will be sure to post after sessions peaks soon. For now, enjoy this fun photo of daddy and son moment from our Fall Frolics session.

After seeing the images from their family photo session, the mom sent me the following message yesterday:
“How beautiful! The pictures really put a smile on my face! Thank you!”

And that is one of many reasons I love about my job, putting smiles on people’s faces!

And one more special father and son moment caught through my lens:

How was your Halloween?

Funky Monkey Photography — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 03:52:35 PDT

Halloween sure is a fun holiday around here, isn’t it? My daughter goes crazy with all the ideas for outfits (she normally has several costumes) and the opportunity for candy. This year she dreamed up of being a Cheetah. She loves cats of all kinds and she learned Cheetah is the fastest one. So we got her a Cheetah costume, Cheetah slippers with claws and even painted her face with whiskers. She wore it at home and a few other times including the official Trick or Treating. She also dressed up as a pirate for her school parade. My baby had to dress up too, of course, despite being just 3 month sold. Besides sporting her orange “Baby’s First Halloween” outfit and a pumpkin hat, she was a Bumble Bee when we went to a Halloween event held indoors at a local high school. Baby Maya napped at home through the outdoor Trick Or Treating, it was definitely too cold out for her. It was just me and my older daughter Kyla, knocking on doors for treats. My toes were frozen too after walking around until almost 8 pm, although my 6-year-old didn’t want to stop just yet!

Here are some Halloween snapshots of my kiddos.
