Girls Night Out

elma — Mon, 09 May 2011 11:41:02 +0000

My daughter Amanda was invited by friends to join them for their school banquet. The weather was COLD, incredibly windy and honestly – just not good for a photo shoot! We managed a few shots (and warmed up in the van in between) and I’m glad they turned out so well.

Thanks for being such troopers girls and good balancing on those heels Amanda xx

My Anniversary Dinner

elma — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:09:14 +0000

We celebrated our wedding anniversary last month . It was an amazing event, we had a personal chef from The Heat is On Catering come to our home and cook for us and two other couples (who are wonderful friends).

James came to our house, brought cutlery and plates – The only thing I had to do was provide the linens and the wine, he cooked the meal while we relaxed out on the deck.

The menu was fantastic.

Starters:
Chicken or Vegetable spring rolls with sweet & sour dipping sauce
Feta Bruschetta

Salads
Oriental salad of mixed greens, nappa cabbage, carrots, bamboo shoots, cucumber, tomatoes and crisp egg noodles tossed in sesame dressing

Diamond Dinner Entrées Menu
Grilled Beef Tenderloin
Smoked Tomato Relish
Rosemary roasted Potatoes and Chevre Cream Sauce

The evening was fantastic! Great food and company and the best part was that I got to spend it relaxing and enjoying the company of our guests. A highly recommended experience!

A New Son

It’s wonderful to have my friends refer me to their friends and colleagues -that’s how I met this family. Such adorable boys and nice parents! I am finding many wonderful uses for my new wide angle lens lately too; love the shot of big brothers room with the fireman toys and decor (guess what Dad does?).

On an other note, I am almost caught up. Lots of blog posts this week to follow……

Love this one;

The Twins are One

Remember these two?

Well they’re almost One now! Seeing how babies grow and change in the first year never gets old to me; it’s simply amazing. You can really see hints of their personality in the images too.

Graduation

The other week my daughter Amanda, graduated 8th grade. It was a wonderful evening and ceremony ~~can’t believe she starts highschool this fall~~! Amanda and her friends have grown up so much these past 8 years, it’s hard to know where the time went! It was my great pleasure to shoot these girls before the ceremony and be a part of such a great evening and memory…..

I know what you’re thinking – this is a good-looking group.. they are, but they are also great sports and a darn nice bunch of siblings. Thanks guys – I love the results from our shoot. Hopefully you feel the same!

One father and son shot because I love it

To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were/ We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We outside the touch of time. Carla Ortega

Newborn Twin Sisters

13 days fresh. So tiny and sleepy and perfect. Thanks Dad for being a good sport and Mom for letting us just ‘do our thing’. Your girls are beautiful blessings in every way and I loved the time I got to share with them!
