first of many: My Favorite Images of 2009

Through the end of the year I'll be posting some of my favorite images from 2009 -- some will be from my photo shoots, (previously unpublished on my blog) and some will be random fun stuff like this one. This is my brother Joe and his sweet baby girl Sadie...PRICELESS!

Edington Family Sneak Peek | OC Family Photographer

I loved the blues that everyone was wearing...it all coordinated so well and the boys looked so cute! Renee and James keep very busy with these 4 little boys! They each have their own special personalities and were so good even though it was freezing down at the beach! Here's a peek at your session...

Kerr Family | OC Family, Child Photographer

Kristie made her adorable skirt and the matching neck ties...love the hounds tooth! They turned out so cute. You're amazing Kristie! Here's a sneak peek of your session...

Sweet Baby Girl | OC Newborn Photographer

Meet Megan's 2nd baby...a girl this time! She is adorable in every way...down to her cute little button nose and swirly belly button! She is beautiful! Take a look:



Megan's mom made her the cutest little hats and booties...

aren't those the cutest little booties you've EVER seen?????? seriously??? SO CUTE!

Megan | OC Maternity Photographer

Megan is a great friend of mine, and was kind enough to share her belly with me for a maternity shoot. Lucky for me, she is a very understanding friend (you know what I'm talking about Megan!) and loves me despite my flaws... She has since had her baby girl Claire who is absolutely perfect! (sneak peek coming soon!) So, without further ado (sp?), here are a few of Megan's belly shots...

and the WINNER is...

The Holbrook family!!!!

I contacted them last night, and they were shocked and surprised to find out that they won!!

Hopefully we will be able to get together for their family session this weekend!

Watch for their sneak peek!

Thank you to all of you who took the time to nominate a deserving family. And thank you to the judges, my mom and my sister! There is NO way I could have made the decision on my own...

What can YOU do to give back this holiday season?

Let's make this Christmas about GIVING...it's SO worth it!

Have a great Wednesday!
