A few favorites from a quick backyard mini-family session – updating your family photos, doesn’t have to take a ton of time or stress. I love when families incorporate extended family that is important to them!

UCLA [Family Session]

I met Michi through the UCLA Biomedical library and had the opportunity to meet her parents on a couple of occasions. I’ve been inspired by her family unit and the fun they have together. Michi’s parents are so supportive of Michi and of all her endeavors. I was inspired when I found out her and her mother were planning on going skydiving together! I hope when my girls are older they’ll want to spend time with me and have adventures together.

Cake

My mother always made my birthday cakes. Then one year I BEGGED her for a store bought cake. For some reason I thought perfectly placed lattice frosting over bright artificial strawberry goo would taste better then the baked-from-scratch yogurt cake my mom usually made. As a mother, I now realize the sting this probably caused my mom as she so lovingly made birthday cakes from scratch. But I insisted. I remember looking at this beautiful cake and being elated as it got served at my birthday party. I ate it and it gave me a stomach ache. I don’t remember ever asking for a store bought cake again.

I’m guessing some day my daughters will beg me for a home-made cake from scratch. I did however hand make a goofy little bib so I’ll remember she was turning two and bought a tube of frosting to put her name on a blank mini sheet cake.
