Owen

He is calm, and calculated, wise and careful. Patient, and sweet, he loves his parents and observes everything everyone is doing. I believe he's going to be someone great, and can't wait to see him grow!

Owen made a little noise so his mom would know to come get him, and he couldn't have been happier to see her when she walked in. He is pure love and sweetness.

He was dressed in his birthday outfit (baby designer jeans included) and I could tell his mama was completely in love with him as she got Owen dressed. His eyes tell a story and he saves his smiles for when he really means it. I like that.

It was a happy day, spent with good friends and family. After all, this party is as much for the parents as it is for Owen. They made it through their first year with their first baby, and it doesn't get much better than that!

Happy Birthday sweet Owen. Here's to at least 99 more!

Tami and Rob, well done. You are doing an amazing job as parents, and you make gorgeous babies. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this very special day.

Love,
Shea

Seashell Hunter

**These pictures were taken back in February and I debated publishing this post. I decided to go for it. better late than never right?

It was bitter cold (for a Native Californian) Sunday, but the clouds were amazing. I looked up and couldn't stop smiling. He knew I had a new lens in my bag and couldn't wait to use it. Off to the coast we went.

 I'm not sure if he knows it, but the coast is where I first knew I loved him. He's a seashell hunting convert and now we can't help ourselves hunt them on every single beach we visit. To be honest, he has a interesting  taste in seashells, but I love him none the less...... Spur of the moment trip to the beach just so I could capture the beauty of the day in a place we both love.

The skies were dramatic, just the way I like them.

This spot has the absolute BEST sand. It's more like tiny little bits of seashell and colorful rock. just awesome. We may or may not "borrow" small buckets full from time to time ;).

The sunset...oh the sunset. I spent a good amount of time helping a random guy with his first DSLR get his settings off auto to take a decent picture. I almost missed it!

Happy sunsets to you all.....wherever you are.

Love,

Shea
