Erlinda + Greg are engaged!

Buttons are cute. Puppies are super cute. Erlinda and Greg are SUPERDOOPER CUTE! From their matching thumb rings to their checkered Van kicks they remind me of a happy musical... especially when they broke out in song... in unison!! Greg is over a foot taller than Erlinda which brings Erlinda up to the perfect cuddling spot on Greg's chest. How ridiculously cute is that?

Rad.

Perfect cuddle spot.

'aaahhhhhh sewenya itchybuu a weenyaaa' From the Lion King......Yeah. Something like that.

Cuteness!!

Gorgeously cute.

Erlinda and Greg.... you left me and Cece feeling 'bouncy' and excited for your wedding day! I look forward to seeing you cuddle and laugh together for the rest of time. xox Sarah

Also, the first person to email me with the real words to that part of the Lion King song wins a rad prize. No cheating either!!!

Valerie and all her pretty little things.

When Valerie walks into the room people can't help but magically be drawn towards her. People want to get to know her and they easily grow to love her. Valerie is magnetic. It's as if her inner beauty glows so strongly that it flows out of her pores for the world to enjoy. I love how she views all the pretty little things in life.... it's all so refreshing. A pure soul. One day my path was within reach of Valerie's magnetic sphere...... a day I will never forget.

I am drawn to this image and I don't know why. I just love it.

Gorgeous.

Valerie and her baby Chloe. Too cute!

So moody.
She has soul.
Beauty.
This one is a huge canvas in my studio.... that's how much I love it.
Valerie, everything I wrote about you is true. You are amazing... and simply stunning. The love that you and Chadd share is breath taking and I am so incredibly honored to have been part of capturing your love. Thank you so very very much for being you. xox Sarah

Colin and Jack. Cousins.

Jack came to Albuquerque to visit his cousin Colin recently and their parents wanted me to document their friendship. What a great idea! They share a common ground of loving to climb on things, crack jokes and just be plain silly. These boys are high energy and full of fun action! When I asked Jack what made him so tall he told me it was 'ham'..... so, Colin knows what he needs to do if he wants to be tall like his cousin. Eat more ham. Who knew?!

I love this series.

A beautiful day!

Some people have children. The others have dogs.

I remember right after the question of, 'When are you two getting married??' was fulfilled the next question was immediately, 'When are you having kids?' So, we got Pearl. I found her on the Internet and as soon as I saw her, I knew that I had to have her. She was raised on a farm that breeds Weimarainers and she was sent to me on a Southwest Airlines flight. As Pearl came down the conveyor belt towards me, my heart skipped and jumped and twirled around. I realized that until I touched her I had been holding my breath...... it was love at first sight.

She is hamming it up.

Relaxing in her outfit.

One of my favorites!

LOVE her nose!

Serious Pearl.

Pearl is our baby girl and we like it that way. At least for now, right my husband?
