Awaiting Nathan's arrival....

I have known Jessica for a long time. She was in high school when I first met her, and I have watched her grow into a beautiful woman and now she has a sweet baby on the way. When I had the opportunity to take her maternity pictures, I jumped at the chance. We spent the first 30 minutes just catching up on life, looking at the nursey and all the cute baby boy clothes(and yes, I immediately wanted another baby boy), and making sure I could come over and babysit!!

Here is just a sneak peek. Stay tuned for the rest tomorrow and a Balboa Park wedding post soon to follow!





You're a beautiful girl.. and I can't wait to meet your little man!!

And the winner is...

Christina!!!

The battle was a hard one to win apparently.. even people who don't comment on my blog made an appearance. Thank you for all of your effort, and please stay tuned as I love to give away free gift cards frequently. :)

Extra cool points if you know the whole song or if you watch the whole intro... we will be friends for life!!

Ahhh.. the memories....

Though there are 6 of us Scharfenberg children, the memories I have of watching t.v. growing up only include 2 of them. This is because my older siblings were either married, engaged,or heading off to college while I was still in elementary school. So, in some ways I feel like a middle child of 3, since the siblings left at home consisted of my brother Andrew (3 years older), and my sister Amy (2 1/2 years younger).

Even more distressing to me was that Amy was a born tomboy.. do you know what that meant to me.. the girliest girl ever?? It meant that Amy and Andrew often combined their votes 2 to 1 in favor of boy shows like Air Wolf, Knight Rider, and... the A-Team. Now, I made the best of it, by falling in love with the cutest boy on the show, and could watch and dream about marrying the handsome bad-boy ladies man (Face), or the lone crimefighter Michael Knight and off we would drive into the sunset with Kit.

And because we all need a little memory refresher.. I leave you with this theme song.

And.... a $10 Starbucks card will be shipped to the first person who can tell me what show I wanted to watch, but was cruelly out-voted on.

Sorry...

Dear blog... I sure do love you, and I hope you aren't mad at me for not posting in almost 2 weeks. My lovely illnesses that I deal with on a daily basis (Migraines, and CFS to name a few) have prevented me from attending to you. I hope you will forgive me!!

I have been wanting to meet Mr. C and Little Miss K for a looong time. Tara received a photo session as a shower gift (GOOD GIFT IDEA ALERT!!) a few months back, and we had a hard time scheduling her session... I was out of town the whole month of June.. she moved into a new house in July.. you know, life stuff. :) I so wanted to give her sweet bubbas a squish.. and they let me for about 30 seconds.

Little Miss did not have much love for me though, and she cried this sad heart-breaking cry everytime the camera came her way. I was a bit crushed that my love for her was not returned, but after a short nap on the grass, she warmed up... a little bit. :) Mr. C was a great sport, especially after the standard lollipop-for-a-great-job was offered.

Thanks for letting me capture these precious souls for a little while. I have hope that Miss K will love me one day.

A senior sneak peek with a twist...

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing two seniors at the same time... why... because they are twins, and it was such fun! I couldn't stop laughing at the antics of these two.

We went to Mission Trails to find some good backgrounds, and after about an hour.. we were all done. Too many bugs, too hot, and too many Caution:Snake signs. :)I was in dire need of a Venti Iced Tea, so off to Starbucks we went.

Carrie and Luke.. I had a blast, and your pics turned out great. Here's a few to share for now, and I will post the rest when I get back into town. :)
