Out of Office

In celebration of my birthday next week, Randy, Tyler and I will be taking a week long road trip to LA, San Diego and Palm Springs starting tonight! But before that, my good friends are taking me out to Broadway Prime later this evening....YUUUMM, I can't wait to eat the mouth watering prime rib...it's definitely on the top list of my most favorite things :) :) :)

We will be back on March 11, just in time for my niece and nephew to come visit from Vancouver! This will be a great month! As always, a blog is better with a picture....so I will leave you a recent photo of baby Ty Ty...I can't believe he will be 9 months already in just one more week!!

Karina and Erica's Joint Baby Shower

Karina and Erica's joint baby shower was earlier this month and I'm a little behind on my blog post because both have delivered already! Thank you Erin for allowing us to host the shower at your family's restuarant at the Bechelli's Flower Mart Cafe in San Francisco. We had a delicious three course lunch menu, and everything was near perfection! Congratulations on the babies!

Bay Area Discovery Museum

A few weeks ago I had a mommy's play date with a couple of my friends from work and their kids. After lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, we headed out to the Bay Area Discovery Museum, a neat place for babies/kids 6 months and up to play and let their imagination run wild. Here are a few snapshots from our day!

Here's Ty Ty, you can see his first tooth :) As of now, he's got his two bottom teeth already!




It's baby Collin! What a cutie :)


Little Miss Evie

Girly Tutus

If Tyler was born a girl, he would have a cute tutu to twirl around in and pretend that he was a fairy or princess! Unfortunately, this is not the case and I am in love with all his boyish ways :) In just the past few weeks, I got in touch with my other crafty side and now I have been crocheting beanies (aka "toque" for my Canadian friends) and making frilly tutus with the little spare time that I have.

Here's a tutu I made for my niece Zoe in Vancouver!

Happy Chinese New Year and Valentine's day!

Tyler turned 8 months 2 days ago and this will be his first chinese new years with his grandparents from Randy's side of the family!

Gong Hei Fat Choy to all :)



This is the year of the tiger! May all be blessed with happiness and prosperity!!

Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 Finally Here!

So exciting, today is the opening for the winter Olympics in my hometown in Vancouver, Canada! We want to thank our good friends Ed and Mel for sending us Tyler's Olympic apparel in the mail :)

Here he is representing Canada :)

Lee Family Session

On Sunday, I had the chance to do a quick family session for our good friends Robyn and Jon. I can't believe baby Alana is already 2 weeks old! Enjoy the sneak previews :)

Newborn Session with Baby Alana

Alana is not just any ordinary baby, she's going to be Ty Ty's future girlfriend :) Her mother and I have already a pre-arranged a wedding for them coming up in the next 25 years :) :) When I first found out that Robyn was pregnant, I was ecstatic and that is NO JOKE!!!!!!! Her pregnancy was what I had been wishing for so we could take family trips together with the little kids running around! It was perfect that I was Robyn and Jon's delivery nurse, as Robyn was mine when lil Tyler was born :) Congratulations again, I'm so glad everything worked out and I was able to share your birth experience with you!

XOXO,
Cathy

Alana was only 6 days young during her first photo shoot :)

Quick Portrait Session with Gigi Horton

Our personal friend and insurance agent from State Farm, Gigi Horton, spent 3+ hours with Randy and I last week to discuss all the different life insurance options now that we have little Ty Ty to worry about. Gigi wanted to update her website with a new profile picture, so I happily agreed to take a few photos of her. And this is the winner picture on her website and business cards :)


Check her out at http://gigihorton.com/, she's an honest and reliable insurance agent if you are looking for one!

KISS boudoir album

Not quite a year ago, my best friend from Vancouver came to visit me in SF. For fun, we shot a boudoir session just because. Months had gone by and her photos were just filed away on my hard drive, begging to be looked at. So I decided to design a boudoir album using my favorite wedding album company, KISS Wedding Books, and created a beautiful leather album as a present so she can look back years from now and say, "wow, I looked that hot?"...lol...

As a special gift to your fiance, boyfriend or lover, a boudoir session says it all! Valentine's day is coming up and this is your chance to be sexy in front of the camera! If you're looking for gift ideas, this is it! Email me for more information :)

This boudoir album from KISS wedding books is the same craftsmenship as their professional leather bound wedding albums. And I just absolutely loooooooove the quality of their books.

Sweet Baby Aden at 3 weeks

Congratulations Erica and Tony, for delivering a beautiful 6 lb 7 oz baby on December 12, 2009!! Baby Aden is definitely a keeper :) He is so precious, thank you for allowing me to photograph such a tender moment during his newborn stage...cherish it while it lasts, cause you know he's going to be big in no time!

Now enjoy a few of his sneak peek photos!

Happy New Year 2010!!

Last night I worked new years eve at my regular day (night) job, and our hospital CPMC delivered the first baby born for year 2010 at 12:01 am in the Bay area! Congratulations to the lucky parents! I'm going to keep this blog post sweet and short, and leave you a couple pictures of adorable Julia who I got to meet at Fred and Barbara's wedding a few weeks ago :)

A Very Merry Christmas!

Christmas came 6 months early for me this year because I received the best present of all --- my little elf Tyler!!! I hope everyone has a safe and memorable holiday!!!!! On another side note, Ty Ty reached another huge milestone a couple days ago....he can now sit up all on his own starting from the belly position!!!!
