I recently photographed this family for their New Year’s cards. New Year’s cards were more popular than ever with my clients this year.

You wouldn’t guess it was November from these photos. That’s one of the great things about California: you can take fabulous outdoor portraits any time of the year.

The tide was out and we had fun checking out all the sea life at the tide pools. These guys are Kent Sveningson’s sons, the best chiropractor in Orange County if not the world.

FINALLY designed the babies birth announcement! It only took me 8 months, ha ha! The problem was getting the perfect photo for the inside of the card. Twins are hard like that. But it was worth the wait!
So the black and white photos are the outside of the card (it’ll be a 5×7 folded card, so the front is on the right and the back is on the left and the vertical line down the middle is the fold).
The color photo will be one big photo on the inside of the card, spread across the crease. I’m going to print a zillion of them and bring them to everyone w/ round yellow and white frosted sugar cookies! So festive! Such a relief to have this done! And before Christmas!
Sidenote: My mom sewed the bathing suits!
