Mountain View child portraits

Hi gang,

I know it’s been awfully quiet around here, but I promise, I have lots and lots of pictures to share! :-) In the past two weeks, I have:

:: shot two maternity sessions and…

:: one family session, and…

:: photographed a major event at full circle farm, AND…

:: had my FIRST NATIONAL PUBLICATION (in all caps, because, well, NATIONAL!!) …I’m planning to blog it tomorrow, but pick up a copy of this month’s Kiwi magazine and flip to page 25 if you’re curious. :-), AAAND…

:: PACKED AND MOVED!!!!  (that’s in all caps with four exclamation points because, well, it’s MOVING!! (for the curious, we moved from the Sunnyvale side of the Mountain View/Sunnyvale border back to Mountain View).

I have learned that:

:: I have the best family and friends in the whole wide world

:: I have too much stuff, but that I *am* capable of getting rid of it!

:: seeing my work published never ever gets old

:: sunset at the farm is glorious (oh, wait, I already knew that ;-)

If you’re still curious about what I’m doing, here’s what’s coming up: I have 4 sessions to proof, and two to peek (one already peeked, and one I won’t be for privacy reasons) and a bunch of images from the farm to share, plus my own personal “ack! I need my camera now!!!” stuff ;-)…so lots of eye candy coming your way this week, I promise!

To my dear, patient clients – thank you so much for being so understanding as I get my life back out of boxes and ticking along again. Please do email or call me if you have any questions, as always!

I hope you enjoyed the above shots of my muse in her boxes…now, I am off to get a few more things ordered before it is time to head home!

xoxo

p.s. I know it seems like it’s nuts to think of it, but my holiday deadline is coming up – sessions must take place by November 5th to have guaranteed holiday turnaround!  September is mostly filled up, with just a couple of slots left, and October going as well, so if you want holiday pictures, please fill out the contact form on my main site so’s I can get you scheduled! I will be announcing some limited edition holiday mini sessions to take place in October, and slots will likely go fast, so if you’re interested, please include a note  in the comments field so that I can add you to the interest list for those!



love + peace

cupertino child portrait (with nina + tom cuteness)

So, we have a saying amongst my scoobies: “that was a TOTAL ‘leggo my eggo’”…which bit of nonsense refers to the time that my bff suddenly realized (when she was, like, 13 or so) that the aforementioned phrase was a pun on “let go of…” and that the phrase actually had a meaning other than the silly rhyme with the name of said toaster waffle (we’re not going to talk about the fact that that may or may not be a brand-fail for the Eggo marketing team ;-)…and the phrase has now expanded usage to apply to any situation wherein you suddenly realize something about something that should have been obvious from the start…and that is what this image is for me…the above image, which I COMPLETELY ADORE, features what is quite possibly the cutest little shirt I’ve ever seen (the front has a heart and a peace sign, and I just absolutely love it), and I had a sudden “leggo my eggo” moment a few months ago when a friend pointed me in the direction of the amazingly cute nina + tom…and I suddenly realized that the shirt was not (as I had assumed) a super-hip holiday card from a couple named Nina and Tom to their circle of good friends whom they love more than paper can say, but rather a really awesome, local, right-in-line-with-so-many-of-my-philosophies-in-the-world, right-on business that I filed it away in my “ok, gotta do a blog post about that soon” file, which, as you can see, I opened up today!!

Whew!! So, anyway, that was all by way of saying, if you show up for your session in a Nina and Tom shirt, I will probably go “squeeeee” and jump up and down and maybe give you a hug. :-)

More pure joy…

I just had to share these…they are just full up and spilling over with exuberant joy and love, and they make me smile every time I look at them!

Enjoy!

Lilia
