Its almost time

Ok we are almost halfway finished putting all of Sophia's stuff away, but we frequently gawk at each present and think how friggin cute these will look on our baby. I'm really starting to second think the wedding industry.

The Holsonbake Family

They say a smile speaks a thousand words. When you look at Abigail's smile, doesn't it bring back the careless whimsical wonder of childhood? My wife works with Abby's mom and had always mentioned that she is very sweet, but spending the day with the entire family made me eagerly anticipate the moment when I, too, will have a beautiful family of my own... A day when I can stare at my daughter's smile and wonder what delightful thoughts are going on through her mind.

Noah's First Birthday

There's something magical that happens when you put a large piece of chocolate cake in front of a one-year old! Today was Noah's first birthday... His smile, laughter and joy radiated as his family gathered around to celebrate his first year of life. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to capture these first moments. Just look at his face! It doesn't get any cuter than that!

Alicia and Chuck Slideshow

Alicia and Chuck

Filipino pride! It was so nice to spend the day with such a fun and down to earth couple. Not to mention, it was also nice to be able to joke about our stereotypical Filipino heritage while walking down the windy streets of Downtown Bakersfield. Alicia and Chuck have been together for ten years and yet they are still able to make each other laugh with just one subtle glance. It was easy to capture the spark between them because they are such a beautiful couple!
