{ MTR BLOG HAS MOVED TO A NEW BLOGSITE }

http://www.mymomentstoremember.com/blog/

This new BLOGsite will look very similar as I tried not to change too many things. But when you check it out the features are just amazing. Its the best of all worlds a blog and a website in one. My Blog I am quickly finding is my most important piece of advertisement that clients can get a current view on what my new material is looking like. Silly to say but it’s almost more important than my website. The blog is a cool place to pop in and send a few minutes looking around with out having to spend an hour navigating thru a website. That's why it was important for me to have the proper setup for my blog. I still have work to do on it like adding favorite sites etc. But for the most part it's pretty complete. I still have all my same old websites it's just the blog that has got bigger and better. On another note I am about to launch a new senior site in the next 2 weeks. So stay tuned for the new addition to moments to remember photography.

See Ya at the new Blogsite....

{ I'm Back from Disneyland }

Hi guys as I blogged a few posts back we would be in LA visiting Mickey Mouse and the beach last week. I arrived back this morning to a whole lot of messages from clients who want to book sessions. WOW! So those new clients who have called I have not been avoiding you I have just been on vacation. I will be evaluating the weather and will call clients back on or before Tuesday to schedule appointments. I have a few of you who want next Saturday. I can see if there is a way to possibly squeeze you in if there are no other dates that work for you but I am pretty much booked solid that day. I am happy to see so many of you interested. This should be lots of fun to shoot in such a unique location. Thanks so much and we will talk to you all soon.

{ The Guth Family }

This is is the Guth Family Maternity Shoot. I am splitting this session up into 2 parts 2 mommy session and one family session. Jessica and Greg got lots of fun shots accomplished today. Here are a few of my favorite from Jessica's Mommy session. Be Back later this week with round 2 of the guth family. Enjoy Jess!

{ I am officially back to shooting and ready for an awesome 2009 }

I have been off for January as I had a large job to complete. Well the job is done for the most part and I am back to what I love doing best for my clients- capturing your priceless moments. Today was my 1st day back and I have shoots everyday. What a week. Yikes!

Thanks to everyone of my clients who made 2008 a wonderful 1st year in business. The studio is still in the works, it is still in engineering and hopefully will have a GO here really soon. I am all ready with the plans and supplies. I am SO excited to get it going. This year is going to be absolutely amazing I already know it. I have just launched my Wedding site. It still has a few minor things I need to add but for the most part it's done. I will be launching a hip new senior site in a few weeks. I really feel like the emotion you get from each of those sites are so very different that they really needed their very own site and style. Thanks so much to all my clients and all you have done to support me and my new business. We are off to Disney Land for a week from the 8-14th. If anyone needs assistance the business will still be running while I am gone and I am avaliable via email if you need me personally.

{ Here's to a wonderful 2009! }

{ Baby Dani }

This was baby Dani. Grammy Joyce has the pleasure of watching her little grand baby and has been dying to get this little princesses pictures taken. Well today was the day. Dani came to visit Grammy in Cali all the way from Alaska. This 15 month old was so Precious and loved taking pictures which made my job easy. Thanks Joyce for the opportunity of working with you both today. Enjoy!

{ Moments to Remember Launches Wedding Site }

The moments to remember wedding site is up and running! There are still little details to add and change but for the most part it gets the point across as faw as what I have to offer.

Any Q's let me know.

{ My Chelsea }

Mom is always busy shooting pictures of everybody but her family but not today. Chelsea has been begging to go take some pictures so today we had some spare time and we visited the wild flower fields. Enjoy!

A special thanks to Don's furniture for the fun find of this cool picture frame. I had the pleasure of meeting Don and his wonderful wife this weekend. They happen to be big camera fans. It's always fun to come across people who love photography! Thanks Don and Cindy!

{ The Voudouris Twins }

This was baby Athena and Sophia. This was an adventure for me as this was my first round of twins. It went flawlessly. These babies were so happy and content they made my job easy. With normal photo sessions it's hard to pick out my favorite pictures to work and post. Try doing twins- It was awful trying to choose my favorites, there were so many! Thanks Mom and Grandma for being such troopers. It was a long session. Without all your help today it would never have been possible. So in the end here were my fav few. Enjoy!

Sienna's 1st Birthday...

Remember this beautiful Family...

Well look who just turned 1...

This is Sienna from the beautiful Sarcomo family that all of you oooh and ahhh about. This client has got the most comments from any of my clients. This was the family that had the beautiful boat dock/lake setting with the bright orange maple trees in some of their backdrops. This baby was a joy to work with. She was so corporative. We had so much fun from tutus to cupcakes to birthday cake and straight to the bathtub. Thanks Sarcomo family for allowing me to be apart of Sienna’s 1st birthday.

These were a some of my favorites...

More of baby Ava...

This was the 2nd session for baby Ava. She was the NB from last week. We did some fun crazy stuff in the studio. All of these poses were inspired by and artist in Southern Cali named Carie Sandoval. I knew when I saw this artist and her work I had to try some of these amazing poses out. Thanks Patene family for another great session. I can't wait to follow the life of the Patene family as their little princess grows up.

One of my favorites from the whole session....

This family was a pleasuer to work with as they were willing to do anything and everything I needed to get this job done as they wanted a good product. Well done mom and dad. Stay tuned to see more of this little angel as I take them into the studio where we are going to do some amazing things that will blow your mind next week. Special thanks to Jena for all her help. She was an awesome help for the day!

That's why my package is called I know I am going to love them all- right? Well I have just as much trouble picking my favorite to post as you do picking them out. I love them all too! So what I am doing now is a collage of your sneek peeks. Like I stated time permiting this will be the new procedue for the blog. Fun stuff!
