Mainland Trip Part 1 - San Francisco!

Gabe and I had the pleasure of touring across the mainland for a couple of weeks, visiting friends and family. We had a fantastic time! Our first stop was San Francisco to visit with his sister Hallie and her family, my Aunt Laurie, some great old friends, and the Mission district for burritos! Nephew and niece Zach and Isla were so much fun and we got to be there for Isla's 1st birthday! Thanks everyone for making us so welcome!



Isla is truckin!



Zach shares Uncle Gabe's dislike of having his photo taken...tough!






Sister & Bro



Lil Troublemaker



Daddy's little angel




She wasn't quite walking yet so Isla was easier to catch!



But I caught you Zach!




Then there's us big kids


I even managed to get out one day and take some pretty pictures in the neighborhood.







Stay tuned for Chicago and Ohio!

Katja

Everyone is having babies! Katja is one of my very best friends so naturally her baby shower gift from me was a maternity shoot. I was so excited for this one because for one, Katja is gorgeous, two, because I photographed their wedding not long ago and it I'm glad to be a part of the next big step, and three, because it's always great working with friends! I can't wait to meet the little girl in a few weeks!!!
