a Wild Birthday!

Madison turned eight this year and for a child such as mine is there was only one thing she wanted...Reptiles! Yes you heard me right sister...my kid asked for lizards and snakes! Now I'm not zoned for such creatures to live among us here in the Lewis household. I will however meet her half way, I will let those requested creature come for a visit. Setting the party to a Luau theme we gave Madison the reptiles she asked for in a show. We hired Pupsandreps.com to give us an fantastic hour long show. Although is was blazing hot outside Madison had a blast. Even Lauren who was quite grossed out at first ended up liking the visitors.

A quick one!

These two cuties belong to a dear of friend of mine who just moved out of state. I wanted to give her a going away gift that she would always remember california by. So what does a photographer give....Portraits! Anyway you will see more of these sweet faces when I'm closer to finishing the proofs.

Flowers and Bellies!

I love how beautiful the Mommy to be and the yellow flowers are in these pics. They feel is so serene in the pictures but they do take a bit of work to achieve. Most importantly is having a brave mommy to be. Thanks Alex for being such a great sport and walking all that way ( and hope a fence) to get these shots in the flowers! Also I want to say thinks to Alex entire support crew (hubby, stylist sister and sister's boyfriend) you guys were all great and kept me in stitches!
