My big sister and bro-in-law are expecting a baby! They already have one little rascal, Marcos, and their second is due soon–I can’t wait to meet the new babe! Christina and her family live on Bainbridge Island, so it’s a bit of a journey to see each other with our busy lives. I was so glad that we were able to spend time together during our vacation in Mexico this past Christmas. The beach in Guayabitos is lovely: calm waters and soft fine sand forever….sure am missing it now! The setting sun and this perfect beach provided such a pretty backdrop for Christina’s maternity session. ….Christina, you look awesome! I hope you like these as much as I do. Love, your Sis, Viv.

Please meet sweet baby Jonathan. While it took some patient soothing from mom and dad, baby managed to get some shut eye for his portrait session. There’s nothing like an image of a sleeping baby to melt any stress away–they always look so peaceful!… I wonder if I look half as peaceful sleeping…somehow I think not–probably something to do with my bed head and flailing limbs 🙂 !

Congratulations to the happy parents Ingrid and Blair–you did well 🙂 ! I wish you all the best with this new addition to your family.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season with friends and family (and egg nog:)). Hopefully lots of R&R to recharge those batteries for a great 2011. Here are some photos from a maternity shoot I did in December with Ingrid and Blair. Their little one has since arrived- stay tuned for photos of him!
