The Norton Family (aka my family!)

My family from California has been visiting for the past few weeks and I asked my sister Morrie if she would be interested in taking some family pictures for us while they were here. She has photographed a few weddings with me and has a natural eye so I was thrilled that she was up for it! It was nice being able to pass the camera around and I am so happy with the outcome, thanks Morrie!

Ivy is usually not up for getting her picture taken... so I brought along some nerds candy and she did great! This is one instance where bribing is welcome:)

Love these two so so much!

She makes the best faces:)

I decided to join her.

Pretty little lady.

Love this last shot:) Thankful for my family!

Booked!

Last night my husband and I booked a Disneyland trip for our daughter's 3rd Birthday and gosh do I feel like a kid again all giddy and excited:) I grew up going to Disneyland for our family vacations and the memories I have are such a big part of my childhood. I must say that it's definitely an even better experience taking your own child and watching their excitement! My in-laws took us to Disney World when Ivy was just one and a half and the memories from her first Disney trip are ones I will never forget. Now that she is older and very much into every single one of the Disney Princesses I am that much more thrilled that we are taking her! In one short month our girl will be a 3 year old (where did the time go?!) and I can't think of a better way to celebrate and make lasting memories than at the happiest place on earth!

Nathan and Nicole - The Wedding

Nathan and Nicole were such a great bride and groom to photograph! They were calm and composed and so excited to say their "I do's". Their wedding day was lovely and it was a pleasure being a part of it!

"First look", I always love this moment!

They had a pretty sweet ride for the day:)

The ceremony was held at a little chapel on Luke Air Force base.

Married!

Love that the bridal party was up for this shot:)

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.!

Wall of Inspiration

I love Instagram. Since I am not always lugging around my 5D Mark II my iphone gives me the opportunity to capture those sweet moment that happen so quickly with a toddler and then with the Instagram app I can add an effect then share it! I love so many of the shots I have taken with this method that I decided to showcase them above my workstation. Ivy is one of my biggest inspirations and now I can look up while I am working and instantly be inspired:)

This shot is definitely her most famous one:)

Love my girl and love capturing all the moments we share!
