So, if you noticed there was a time I didn’t update the blog for a little over a week. Due to a glitch in the matrix. haha. It’s because we’re working on a BRAND NEW blog-site!!! Our new logo and business cards are done, which a few of you have. We’re waiting until the blog is done to put our fun new logo on everything. It should be ready within the next couple weeks.

Since the new blog is bigger, I wanted to wait to post the full length versions of our shoots, so they can be appreciated in all their glory!

Here’s some teasers for you from Keily + Gregg’s engagement in San Jose.

Oh, just you wait until the rest of the chain and mirror series!

Last week, we celebrated this cute little girl’s birthday by cruising all around L.A for the day with the fam. And while I work on the massive blog that will be, check out this collage of Mattie Mae!

LOVE her outfit!

For the shared birthday of Mom and Daughter, Chris (the dad) planned a big, fun day in L.A. First they rented a stretch limo to take all of us around town. We hit the Ivy for brunch, then walked around the street and The Grove, Pink’s, the Pier- just to name a few! Even though we were the photogs, we felt like we got the royal treatment all day with delicious food, riding in the limo and wonderful company. We were tired in the end (I think we all fell asleep on the ride home!) But it was a wonderful day to remember!

There ended up being SO many pictures, so this blog is pretty big!

Mattie Mae, birthday girl number 1:

Lia cracks me up!

We took that picture for Christmas!

Jeremy: Friend, Photographer, Legend in his own mind!!

The whole famdamily! Chris’ parents joined us from Mississippi!

Love her converse!

Judah was serious about having a pic with the fur!

LOVE this!

Sums up The Picou kids!

I adore this shot of Randy + Debbie. They held hands all day and just had a good time, even though it was a bit of culture shock for them. They were good sports!

Lia, birthday girl number 2! I put her as number 2 because she puts her kids first : )

No one told them to do this!

But then 3 seconds later, a fight broke out!

Sammy (and me.)

This is so weird and I love it!

Getting some trinkets for the kids.

Loved the cloudy sunset on the pier.

Happy Birthday Mattie Mae!

Thank you Picou Family! We are so blessed to know you!

Dear Tabitha,

This is the day of your birth. February 23, 2009. It was beautifully cloudy, a little rainy and sunny day. There was even a rainbow. The experience of your birth (the very first one I’ve ever been a part of) has really changed me, more than I thought it would. In a very good and surprising way. Jeremy and I are so happy we were there for your birthday!

This is what it looked like outside about an hour before you were born.

I loved this sticker.

This is your sister Daphne. She really wanted to play in the water!

Daphne plays puzzles with Angie, waiting for you to get here.

Daphne helps Mom.

Mommy and Daddy waiting for you to be born.

I loved this moment.

Happy Birthday, Tabitha Jane!

Daphne was very excited to meet you finally.

A little after you arrived. You were born at 8:44 am.

Your first hug with mom and dad. You were so peaceful and didn’t cry once!!

Mommy was overjoyed after you got here. “She’s so beautiful! I love everyone! This was so wonderful. Thank you all for being here!” your Mommy said!

Hi Tabitha!

This is my favorite picture of you! You really were so, so, so beautiful. The peacefulness of the water and your face are so evident.

Daphne puts on her princess dress to celebrate.

Daddy holds you.

Still not a peep from you!

Daphne comes over to see you again.

You were 22 inches long and weighed 8.8 pounds.

Thank you Cook family for sharing this wonderfulness with us!
