Snow Day!

If there is anybody reading this blog from the North, then you'll probably laugh of this, but for us is a big deal!.. SNOW in AL!!.. :) we actually got around 5in, it melted in no time but it was fun while it last... Vincent stayed out for about 2 minutes.. apparently it was way to cold.. the other 2 played longer, then Allison went back out again.. she really loved it!..

New baby boy..

I got to meet this new baby boy and his mommy and daddy not to long ago.. he wanted nothing with sleeping, nothing really worked to get him to close his eyes to get those cute sleepy pictures that I love so much, but he taught me that I love the wide awake newborn pics as much as the other ones.. :)
Here are a few of my favorites.

Big brother, baby brother...

Well, I'm finally hooked to the internet from my work computer... the house is far from been done, but I keep telling my self: "baby steps"... :)

I'm sharing today this session that I had a couple of weeks ago with big brother, baby brother and pretty momma... I've known them for a while so it was nice that I got to do this for them... Baby wanted nothing with sleep, he just wanted to eat... and big brother was a lot more excited about Sesame Street than me.. but we managed to get some cute shots...



and big brother.. yup, he's been at the top of my blog for a while.. :)





I LOVE mom and baby shots.. they are just so sweet!!

ok, now back to unpacking.. ;)

Chaotic times...

Crazy times in the Van Epps Household... We've moved to another house, looking for a better school district for the kids... we found a cute house in an awesome neighborhood, closer to where all my cool clients are, so that's a plus too.. :)
So as you can imagine I've been a little bit busier than usual.. packing a house is not fun, specially with my "helpful" little ones. We got to the house yesterday and now I live in a house full of boxes.. :) the kids are having a blast though.. lol
I've been working non stop, in fact I was lucky today to be part of a baptism of a sweet little girl.. I have TONS of pics to share, but I haven't put together my work computer so they'll need to wait a little bit longer.. right now I'm in my laptop, I don't like to not post often so here I am. I promise I'll be back soon with more sessions to share!.. :)

So about sessions, March is filling up FAST!.. I have very little space available now, April is open. Contact me if you would like to schedule a session for the spring.

Anyway, because there is no post without pictures, here are a couple from the last few days.. I'm sorry if the colors are off, the screen in the laptop is not good and I have no idea how the pics look..
My babies having fun with some boxes!.. I don't understand why we need to spend tons of money in toys if a box brings hrs and hrs of fun!!

And our new house with tons of boxes that need to move from there.. my daughter is posing LOL... did I mention that I LOVE the light in the house?!!? there are windows everywhere!.. I LOVE it!!..


Thank you and keep visiting the blog because I'll be back soon!!.. :)

Can I brag a little bit?

So the voice about my photography passion reached all the way to my hometown in Mexico and during my visit this past December I was asked by a magazine to talk a little bit about it so they could do an article about me. This magazine, "Esphera Social", is about the people from Oaxaca. We met at a local park and we had a little photo shoot and talked a little bit of what I do.. I was nervious about me in the other side of the camera.. but it was fun!.. they captured me doing what I love too :)

I'm sure my mommy is walking around with her copy of the magazine.. ;)

I had the fun opportunity of document "MT's" first birthday.. She was one happy girl and enjoyed everything about her party... You might recognize her from sessions before, I met her when she was a tiny baby, now she's running!!.. I love that I get to see my little clients grow.. I seriously love my work!..










Thanks to her mommy and daddy for letting me be part of it!..

Happy Valentine's day!!

Can you believe is Valentine's day already??.. it seems like yesterday that we were putting the Christmas tree out!!... time sure flies!...
I've been busy busy with sessions and kids and life... sometimes I feel like I need a day off everything, but well... I guess mommies don't have that luxury.. :)
I hope you all have an awesome weekend full of love and candy!..
Eventhough I have tons of sessions to share I feel like I haven't shared my babies in a while.. so here they are...
First their Valentine's cards for their classmates..


a sweet moment with my V boy that I manage to capture with one hand and my big camera.. ;)

Since I'm always with the camera and I have very little pics of me with my babies I've needed to get creative to be in the pictures too.. here is one from our last trip to the zoo during one of these awesome "spring like" days..

and here we are playinig with our shadows.. :)

Tons of love for you all.
