On Saturday I had a shoot with the Weise family. The Weise's are originally from Orange County, but just moved to Colorado. They were back visiting their families for the holidays and scheduled a family shoot at the beach. They have a recent addition to their family and needed new portraits. This shoot was special because I went to high school with Brooke. And now she's married with 3 beautiful little girls! Aren't they such a photogenic family?


Haylee and Taylor were so much fun. They are beautiful little girls inside and out.





And baby Avery has the most amazing blue eyes.

I think she gets them from her daddy.


My friend Krysta and her husband Brett came along to help with the kids. I haven't seen Krysta since graduation and it was great to see her again as well and meet her husband.

Thanks for letting me take your family pictures! Hopefully we can do it again next year! Here's your slideshow!

As 2006 comes to a close I want to take the opportunity to thank each and every one of for making DrewB Photography a success this year. My business has grown beyond my wildest dreams and I have my amazing clients and friends to thank. I am so lucky to have wonderful clients who have also become my friends. It's so exciting to see my brides walk down the aisle and the kids that I've grown to know and love grow up. And I'm SO lucky that my clients choose me to capture such important moments in their lives. One of the biggest compliments I received this year from one of my clients was when she said, "From now on, we'd love to consider you our family photographer". It means so much to me to be a part of each of your families and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish you all a very merry holiday season and a happy 2007!

Below is a picture of our Christmas lights. Our neighborhood has a light contest and we got 2nd place for the 2nd year in a row. My husband worked very hard and I'm very proud of him :) Our lights are synced to music and the night of the contest we turn our snow machine on! I tried to upload a video, but I'm having a bit of a hard time. Hopefully I'll have it up later today or tomorrow so check back! Merry Christmas!

On Friday I headed up to Burbank for Shelly and Hamleth's wedding. The wedding was at Castaway's Restaurant, which is a really cool venue up on a hill over looking the valley. The wedding was a bit challenging because it was dark, very dark. But, it was also fun to get creative and use available light.

Congratulations to Shelly and Hamleth! Here's your slideshow.

I had a shoot with some fun and very energetic kids. It was very cold, but we still managed to have a lot of fun and get some great shots. These kids are all cousins and the two little girls were born just two months apart. Isn't that cool? I don't have any cousins so it's cool to see how close these kids are. They really do love each other. Enjoy the slideshow!

Good news! My website and email are back up! If you sent an email yesterday please resend it!

Thanks so much!

Yesterday I had a great shoot with the Leib family. We shot their portraits at the Kellogg House on the campus of Cal Poly Pomona. It was a great location and it's actually where Maria and Harold got married. Isn't that cute? Christian and Michael are both very cute little boys and Michael is an awesome big brother. You can just tell how much he loves his little brother. Thanks so much for choosing me to shoot your family portraits! Here's your slideshow!

PS The song is for Michael!

Last Friday I headed down to Irvine Park to meet up with Nicole and Mike and their two dogs Elliot and Bentley. I've known Nicole since we were in the 4th grade. We played soccer together growing up, but we lost contact since high school.

Nicole and Mike wanted some family pictures with their puppies. Elliot is a 108 pound great dane. He's HUGE, but a total cutie. Bentley is a wheaton terrier and is a tough little thing. He holds his own against Elliot! Nicole has a pet sitting business and I highly reccomend it. I don't trust anyone with my dog, Hauggy, but Nicole and my parents. Hauggy was the ring bearer in our wedding and Nicole and Mike actually came to our ceremony and took him after and babysat him that night. Her website is www.nicwood.com.

Nicole and Mike are getting married next November and I'm super excited because I'm shooting their wedding! Mike is a super sweet guy and they make a great couple. I'm really happy for the two of them! Here's the slideshow!

I only have two things to say about yesterday:

1) HAHAHAHAHA!

and

2) FINALLY!

Not only did we beat 'SC, but to knock them out of the National Championship game is awesome! It totally makes up for the last 7 years! That's all I'm going to say!

On Thursday I had a family session with the Yeh family. The Yehs are originally from California, but now live in Maryland and although it was cold at the beach, it was not nearly as cold as it is in Maryland! Both Von and Justin are doctors and met while they were at med school. Smart family! I hope that we can make their family pictures a yearly tradition. Here's the slideshow!

Thank you to the Imus family for the referral!
