It feels like just yesterday I was photographing Zander as a teeny tiny tot and now he’s 6 months old! How does that happen?
As always, Zander was quite the model. He really is my easiest client, ever!

It makes me wish I wasn’t the older sister of 4. ((sigh)) Truly, the bond is that unique! And Little Miss. B and Mister J, are quite the sweethearts. At our shoot, they were so well mannered and kind to each other. I’m certain their Mom would testify that not all their interactions are spent hugging and loving each other, but it’s rather clear…”that bond”…it’s there. Totally evident and honest. Boo to being a first born…ha!
I adored this shoot for so many reasons, partly because they were so willing to let me capture their sweet essence. And well, mostly because they really did enjoy being silly together. As a photographer, there is nothing more beautiful than just capturing tender moments…and believe me on this day, there were many!

He was bashful, quite the littlest ham and so freakin’ adorable. Total model and I’m not kidding when I say that. He has, “a look”.
And his cake smash? A total success!! His adorable monkey cake, was a labor of love from his Aunty and matches perfectly to his birthday theme.
(I sooo wish I could bake cakes like that!!)
After spending the morning with this cute little family, I’m certain his first birthday party will be quite the extravaganza!

As I’ve said before, I thoroughly enjoy capturing his silly faces, serious stares and smiles. In less than 2 weeks this little dude will be turning 1 and so we incorporated his birthday party theme into our session. Any guesses on what his theme might be???

Here are a few of my favorites from our session:

Beautiful weather, vivid colors and glorious light. The perfect combination for picture taking!
Thank You, Hatlestad Family for letting me share your Saturday with you and well, for everything.
And p.s. How cute are the expressions on Little Miss V? Seriously, she’s got ways with those lips and eyes!

It doesn’t matter how many times I put it up, it always ends up down.
I love that when her clip or hair band is caught in her hair, she turns to him. And I love that he’s always willing to help her.
“Awww, it’s okay…Big Brother will do it!”
And he will. And he does, even if it drives me nuts.
“Mom, she doesn’t like it up. Just leave it…I think it looks pretty just the way it is!”

I love that he argues her case because she can’t. And I love that when I let him win, he has to tell her that he has her back.

This bond they have, well it’s kinda beautiful. And really, so is her messy hair.

As far as gifts go, my amazing husband bought me a new fabulous LCD monitor. I must admit, editing is now quite the experience. Wow!!! Good bye 20″ monitor and hello new world! When it came to gift giving, I was a good wife and did not buy my husband a thing (per his request) and instead I fixed him his favorite meal.
Unfortunately Sal had to work on Sunday, so I spent the day with my two favorite pea’s. It’s cah-razy how fast they are growing. To be honest, I feel like I need to take 10,000 more pictures so I do not miss anything. I know Isaac hates when I tote my camera along to our family outings but too bad, sometimes a Mom just needs to capture herself some moments.
Of course in typical Figueroa fashion, our escape to the park lasted only an hour because shortly after arriving my Sweet Pea decided to fall on a piece of wood. No big deal except she was wearing shorts and managed to get roughly 30+ splinters in her shin! Well, it was fun while it lasted….

There really is something about balloons and tutu’s. I can only compare it to adding bubblegum flavor to yucky medicine. Somehow it doesn’t taste quite so bad with a little bit of candy flair, ya know?
Plus, how much fun would it be to hold balloons and run around with a tutu? Apparently, it’s a whole lotta fun!
On a side note: I’m also soo madly in love with mixing bold colors with vintagesque hues right now. Yeah, really. It’s kinda become my thing!

He thinks surprise gifts are far more superior than those that are “expected”.
Hmmm…well, I kinda like both:)
So for Valentines Day I’ve been kinda eyeing a few things…::Sal please take note:::

1. This pretty fabulous lens

2. This pretty cute moonstone ring

3. This pretty awesome bag

4. This pretty adorable necklace

And keeping with theme, here are some pretty magical fairies…

(I swear I had to run to keep up with his walk) He explored, he got dirty, he…he did everything that a little boy should do!
It was a pure joy to photograph this little man and I can’t wait to do so again!
