A Beautiful Day with a Fun Family | Solano County Family Photography

It’s hard to believe how fast time has flown by. The last time I photographed this family was in November of 2009! Things sure have changed since then.

They have added a new family member since the last time so we were sure to take photos with him at home.

I’ve never met a dog that posed so well! :)

With a quick change of clothes we then headed to a nearby park for some more photos.

THIS is my favorite one from the day!

During family sessions, I like to encourage the parents to also have photos of just the two of them. I adore this one of mom and dad!!

A Beautiful Fall Day with a Fun Family

I had the great pleasure of meeting this family this weekend. We headed out to Andrews Park in Vacaville.

The fall colors were nothing short of gorgeous and their white button-up shirts and ties packed a punch with the background!

These kids had personality and were a BLAST to hang out with! There wasn’t a dull moment, I tell ya! :)

This is my FAVORITE of the 6 of them!

Such a beautiful couple with equally beautiful children!

It was hard to narrow it down to just a few of my favorites for the blog. These two, though, rank among my favorites.

Littlest brother’s smile just makes me smile!

The Women Behind Sweetie Pea Creations

I was excited when Marilyn of Barker Home Services asked me to take some promotional pictures of her and her daughter for their new business, Sweetie Pea Creations.

(Quick testimonial about Sweetie Pea Creations - When Marilyn told me about these new bath products that utilize sea salt, I was curious and purchased a fragrance oil and body scrub from her. I wanted to try the products out mostly because they smelled wonderful and was skeptical about the "healing" trait of sea salt.  I had used the body scrub and fragrance oil (in place of body lotion) for only 2 days when I noticed that a patch of eczema that I had on my foot had disappeared. This dry patch of skin had been there for SEVEN years and prescription creams and lotions had never made a change on it. I was AMAZED to say the least that the sea salt products had made a difference in only TWO days!)

We set out to a local park to photograph some headshots of this mother/daughter team. Little Miss J is part owner in Sweetie Pea Creations, so we let her call the shots on some of the images. :)

This is my favorite image from the day of the duo!

Miss J had had an idea to take some pictures of her at the playground. It sure brought out a big smile out of her!

Here are some of the great (delicious smelling) products from Sweetie Pea Creations.

In addition to their bath products, they also have a line of charm bracelets. I am learning that there seems to be a charm for just about everything - including motorcycles, professing a loving for chocolate, and even one for a C-5. Ah-mazing. ;)

At a recent wedding, Miss J caught the bride's bouquet. She wanted to incorporate it into the photo session so not only did we use it as a background for the products (see above), but she used it as a prop for her solo headshot.

Marilyn is a business-savvy woman and I am sure this new endeavor will be a success! She definitely already has a devoted fan in me! :)
