My BaBy SiS

My sister moved up north and came down for a little visit of sisterly love. Actually, she squeezed in some time for me, but I like to believe she came down just for me.

Before Sis and I met up with Nancy to take pictures of her invites, I had a little portrait session with my sis.

First of all. My sister HATES... like really HATES taking pictures. So when she asked, 'are you going to take pictures of me too?' I was like HELLLLLLLS YEEEEAAAH!

Last year, I seriously BEGGED my sister to model for me when I was taking a 35mm black/white film class. She finally agreed after I begged and gave her a MAJOR sisterly guilt trip. LOLOL. But seriously. I think my sis is HOT! I LOOOOOOVE taking pictures of her! She's everything I'm not! So when she was open for the mini-portrait session, I just about went nuts.

Ladies and Gents. My Beautiful Baby Sis:



My dad always called my sister 'million dollar lips'. Can't pay money to get lips like that!




She's so hot.


AND creative!






MY FAVORITE!!! Did I mention she's 5'10? Girl's got height!




And lastly, a little collage that represents my sis,

Esther :: UCLA |maternity|

This past weekend, I met up with Esther to shoot her maternity pics. A big shout to to Alice for coming out and helping us!!! :) Thank you! And I am sooooo sorry for being late! (The 5 freeway and I are major frenemies. It took me an hour and a half to get to LA on a Sunday!)

First of all. Esther is seriously one HOT mama. I'm not joking. She's seriously beautiful. And even more because she was such a good sport and trekked around with me for 2 hours when she's 7 months pregnant with her 2nd child! Thank you Esther! You are seriously beautifully awesome.

Enjoy the pics!



Simply Gorgeous.








This is my favorite!!! She looks so happy and warm.


This is my other favorite too!










Esther told me she was worried about the shoot because she didn't know how to pose. But I think she was lying. Cuz she was seriously a pro.


love these 2 images.




and these. I just love them all. Baby bumps just make everything better.


And I leave you with this GORGEOUS shot of Esther.



You were wonderful. Thank you.

DIY Invitations

I wanted to wait until the invites went out and since I received mine in the mail, it's time to blog!

Nancy, her family and friends and I worked loooong hours making these. When Nancy told me she was gocco'ing her invites, I was all, 'OK! What is that? I'll help." Honestly, even though it took countless late nights to finish these invites, I had fun making them. I had NO idea it would take that much work. And since our sweat and blood went into them, I wanted to capture the process of the whole thing. I really think Nancy&Eddie deserve a major shoutout. I LOVE their invite design and their theme 'Love Grows'.



Here is the couple hanging around the gocco machine. I have new respect for the gocco machine. LOL.




So cute!














A few images of their Molly.











And after the invites went out, we met up and took some pics of the final product! YAY!



Love Grows


The invite and all the inserts. BTW. I placed all the stamps on the RSVP cards. I love putting stamps on things.


HAHA. So cute. I told her to write "see ya there" on a piece of paper and I think it turned out adorable.






And remember my last post? These are some of the other things Nancy and our 'sweatshop' team were working on.







So everyone who reads my blog and is invited to Nancy and Eddie's wedding, SEE YA THERE!

i. can't. sleep.

I work better at night. My body and brain is more alert once the sun goes down. But my sleep schedule has been waaaaaay off the past couple of weeks.

Well, here's a little sneak peek of what's to come. :)



I'm taking a trial hip-hop class tomorrow. And I am very nervous. Cuz you know. I dance like the Pussycat Dolls all in one. Wish me luck!

HaPPY MoNday!

Isn't she cuuuuute? I love her. She reminds me of my old dog. If I didn't love Nancy, I'd totally take Molly from her. LOL.

Molly is such a smartie. I think a little too smart. She loves when you rub her belly and loves to cuddle with you. You know how you always dream of having a dog that lays her head on your arm or leg? Molly does that. And it's friggin adorable.

Thought we'd start this Monday off with cute a$$ pictures.

Here's Molly and her favorite toy.

wanna get MOO'ed?

Loooooook what came in the mail. My mini moos! These are just my transitional contact cards. But aren't they cuute? I ordered the ones that were already pre-designed.

So you wanna get moo'ed?
