While in Las Vegas this past weekend we checked out the new City Center.  GORGEOUS!!  Amazing shopping and architecture...really just stunning.  Well they had this staircase and the face of the stairs were (as you can see) beautiful pink...yumminess.  Niya was in her pink dress so I had to get her up there!! 

Saw a lot of blogs do photos for their year end post and I decided to try it out this year because I loved looking at all the others.   We had a great year this year!!  Looking forward to a great 2010.  I realize there are some key things missing from the slide show but I can't find some photos...I will be better about organizing for next year (Kids summer FL trip, Niya's Christmas program, and some birthday photos).

Music: Jason Mraz, I'm Yours...the kids loved this song the first 6 months of this year and will still sing along if they hear it so it was fitting:)

I have loved photographing this family over the years.  This little blondie was my first newborn shoot!!  They have moved to my favorite place (Seattle) but they get back now and then to visit family and I am so happy that they had me do their pictures while they were down.  I got to do some with ALL the family too but I will do another post of those.  This was my first time meeting the newest addition.  Such a sweet family.  I love seeing them!! I wish they lived closer:) I am hoping to get to see them Seattle this year, we are really going to try to get up there this year.

Another lovely repeat holiday family:) Had a super time in the Brea Hills with this sweet family last week.   There is a trail that the boy was REALLY wanting to go on.  He kept trying to go to the top:)  Dad promised him a trip up later, hopefully they managed that! 

what I am editing now.  I am just IN LOVE with this shot!!  Can't stop playing with it:)  More to come soon!!
