My poor cats are always being chased around me with huge camera in tow….but the results are pretty cute, I must say!

Julius was posing as a Christmas present for my parents and Shannon and Jason welcomed Socrates and Bella into their home this Holiday Season!

So we finally made it back to The Emerald Isle to see Glenn’s family after two and a half years of living here together.  It was so great to see everyone and spend Christmas in a properly cold winter climate!  I have to admit that it was a bit of a challenge to be driving on the left side of the road again.  Also, the challenge went to the next level as we slid around on icy roads.  We got around even if it meant driving 20 mph!  We pretty much went from meal to meal, that was the main focus of the trip aside from visiting with family.  We even got a bit of shopping and visiting with friends while we were there.  It is really hard to have family living so far away, but it’s so great when we get to spend time together…

Aaahhh, Little Alex….

Are we really at a pub in Dublin???

Grafton Street Christmas Deco….

The brothers together, note that Robbie has a shopping bag in hand, how strange….

Photographing dear friends is always an honor and it was so much fun with Shannon and Jason!  They are such a wonderful couple and I think their love for one another and how much fun they have together shines through here! 

How about a super cute one for Mom & Dad!

These two are seriously stunning….

Apparently this is the infamous Drunken Headlock Move….

I think I busted Barrett for making an awkward face here, apparently with hilarious results…

My wonderful, beautiful and talented long time friend Tarika is engaged to the wonderful, handsome and funny Barrett.  Their Palm Springs wedding isn’t scheduled until next October, so they can have a nice, relaxed engagement.  I am personally looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend in Palm Springs!  These two are some of the most genuine and warm hearted people that I am blessed to have in my life and I am so incredibly happy for them.  I was truly privileged to photograph such a beautiful pair!

Don’t tell Tiffany that I was taking landscape portraits during a wedding…..

Accidentally Cool.

This is an afternoon view on the Bay Trail by my house, pretty cool right?

Bitchy Poodle Owning Woman and Yummy Rainbow Sherbet in Oakland.  Never order the Small, The Junior Scoop is totally sufficient.

Beautiful Flowers on the Bay Trail, The Two Musketeers and Eric Jumping.

She’s gorgeous and I’m an obsessed puppy owner/fur child mother.

I love this Old Chinese Man just walkin’ down the street in Chinatown.

So we finally settled on a name….here is our little inquisitive girl mugsie!

Hello all…. so we’re welcoming another precious little puppy soul into our lives.  She doesn’t have a name yet, but she has our hearts!  I think you can see for yourself why.
