This last week has been amazing! I had the great privilege of photographing baby Joaquin and his first moments with his family, I started a workout routine that is working beautifully, I ordered my first batch of branded office supplies (thank you cards, stickers, care cards, etc.), received a couple amazing sample items, had a chance to talk to and meet some amazing people, captured sweet little Joaquin’s newborn portraits, and went to a Giants vs Padres game.

This weekend was all about family and Braydon. Since Sam and Tristan are at Walt Disney World we thought this would be the best time to take Braydon to Disneyland for his first officially time, and what a better way to end a great week than with a trip to Disney!  Yesterday was great! Braydon got love from Mickey, shot bad guys on Buzz Lightyear, visited Pirates, checked out the Tiki room, played in Goofy’s house, visited different countries at Small World, went on an adventure with Winnie the pooh, and finished off the day with fireworks! It was a perfect day of short lines and beautiful weather.

Today we decided to head to Newport and soak up the sun while we wait to pick up Sam and Tristan at the airport.  We drove all around Balboa and did a little dreaming of a huge house on the beach. 🙂  Then we parked ourselves on the beach and let Braydon play in the sand.  I couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing day!  Days like the last few are just what is needed to refresh and remember what is important.

So I have to ask, when was the last time you spent a good quality day with your family or loved ones? If it has been awhile, then I highly suggest you make the time.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Ann

My path here wasn't exactly straight, and I think that's what makes it worth telling.

I wasn't supposed to be a photographer. I was supposed to become a doctor. Neurobiology premed, on track, until my oldest son was diagnosed with epilepsy and life took a hard U-turn. I took a break and enrolled in photography classes I had always wanted to take but never could as a premed. On day two I knew. This was where I was supposed to be. Funny thing is, that analytical, detail-oriented part of me never left. It just shows up differently now, in the way I plan every session, read the light, and pay attention to the moments most people miss. I finished my degree in a year and a half, started my business the following October, and sixteen years later I still believe this is the gift God gave me to give to others. And I don't take that lightly.
