Hudson's rain boots!
The best fifteen bucks we've ever spent were
on Hudson's rain boots! Justin found them at Target a few weeks ago and ever
since then Hudson has lived in them! We even find him in the morning with just
his rain boots and undies on...its pretty stinkin' cute! We're not the type to
post the photos of Hudson in his undies, but we will post the photos of him
going crazy with the rain puddles!

Finally.....J'adore Details!!!!
This has been a long anticipated day! A while
back, I won't say specifically when, I was invited to meet with three amazing
and talented women in the wedding photography industry.
Jasmine Star, Drew Bittel, and Trista Lerit had invited me to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory to discuss what is now J'adore Details. All four of us had something in common, not only were we all passionate about being wedding photographers, but all four of us wanted to be able to provide all of our clients with a place to go to get information on vendors we've worked with and were happy with at past weddings and events. J'adore Details is a one-stop-shop wedding site we have put together for our clients and future clients with featured vendors from florists to disc jockeys, and of course, us as wedding photographers!
As I said before, this day has been long awaited and after many long nights discussing, planning, organizing, eating, and laughing it is finally here....ladies and gentlemen, we give you J'ADORE DETAILS!

Oh, How fast time flies....
I can hardly believe that Sloan is already four
months old and Hudson is almost three years old!!!! Time really flies when you
are having fun being a crazy parent!
My boys really love each other, which is something hard to imagine when you only have one child. I always heard horror stories about the first born having a hard time with the arrival of a new sibling, but Hudson has handled things quite well, he ADORES "Swoaner-bahloaners". It amazes me to see the bond between these two brothers and I feel so emotionally happy when I see Hudson taking on the big brother role. All Hudson wants to do is hold Sloan, make him laugh, make sure mommy knows when he cries, and give him kisses....seriously, it melts my heart!

Our Clients and Photos on the Rachael Ray Show!!!
Many of you may remember Kristine and Ron from their wedding back in
October of 2007. A few weeks ago I received an email from Ron and Kristine
letting me know that they were selected to perform their first dance at a live
competition for the Rachel Ray show, Valentine's day episode. I was super excited for
them to be on the Rachael Ray show, especially since their first
dance was truly the BEST one we had EVER seen before, and we've definitely seen
our fair share of first dances! Ron and Kristine had posted a video of their
first dance on YouTube and it caught wind by so many viewers and this is how
Rachael Ray found them in the first place. What made this story even more
exciting was when I received another email from Ron and Kristine letting me know
that a rep of the show would be contacting me to receive permission to use some
of OUR images on the show during a clip of Kristine and Ron before they
compete....I was SUPER excited about this, OUR images on the Rachael Ray Show,
AWESOME!
The show airs on Valentine's Day in the morning, for us its 9am on KCBS, check your local listings for viewing times so you don't miss out! Click here for a sneek-peak of that episode.

I love fun little acts of kindness!
Last night after cooking dinner I left the
kitchen messy with a pile of dishes in the sink, I just figured I'd clean
everything up in the morning and take the Sunday evening to relax a bit. I
ended up falling asleep early and woke up in the middle of the night to take my
vitamins and found the kitchen spick and span! I walked over to the sink to see
that there were no dirty dishes to clean and then I saw something a little
strange sitting on the counter next to the sink, it took me a while to realize
what message was being left for me in a random formation made up of a sucker,
two bananas, and five clementines...

A fun little story....
This photo has a pretty sweet story behind it
and I am so glad that the people in the photo allowed me to post and tell about
it. One night last week, while we vacationed at the Ritz (see post below) we
invited some family to join us for dessert. Pickle (my sister) and her husband
were on our way up to our room when they caught a young man down on his knee
proposing to his girlfriend on the outside main balcony. When my sister and
Jeff came up to room they excitedly told us what they had just witnessed. We
rushed out onto our balcony to see if the couple was still there and they were!
A quick thought ran through my mind, i wish I had a photo of the moment justin
proposed to me, so I quickly grabbed my camera and took this snap-shot of the
couple kissing. I think being a wedding photographer makes me a softy for
little moments like these. Anyway, we were heading out of our room and down to
the lobby, I had high hopes of running into the couple so I could tell them what
I had done...I really wanted to give this photo to them. When we got to the
lobby we didn't recognize anyone, so I shrugged with, "oh well". A little
Later, we ended up having dinner and dessert at The Ritz and I had to excuse
myself to the restroom with Sloan. I walked into the ladies room and there were
three lovely women chatting away, i asked them if they wouldn't mind my company
while I fed my baby and we struck up a conversation. The group was a mother
with her two daughters, the mother started to tell me that the daughter standing
to her right had just been proposed to and was still in shock from the
excitement of it all. "That was you!" I exclaimed! I told her about taking the
photo and that I would love to send it to her and her new fiancee. She was so
appreciative and I gave her all of my contact information. What was even more
awesome was when the groom came up to our table and personally thanked me for my
kind gesture. I was so happy I had found the couple and even more happy that I
was able to capture this little moment in time for them. Hopefully when they
look at it years down the road it will remind them of how they both felt that
magical night when he asked her to be his wife.

Livin' it up at the Ritz!!!
Last week Justin and I got away for a few days
and stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. It was kind of a
fun mini vacation, especially right before Christmas with the whole place
completely decorated, Santa making appearances, and carolers singing in the
lobby. Justin and I have stayed there a few times before, but this time was
pretty memorable! We invited Pickle and Kenny (my siblings) along with their
spouses to come enjoy the ambience and join us for a midnight jacuzzi run.
Well, we had to take some photos after seeing how funny we all looked in the
robes the Ritz so kindly provided us with. We had a pretty fun time with the
self timer on my 5-d!

We Had a very merry little christmas!
Merry Christmas to all who read
this....we had a great one this year!!!! During the Holidays we go back and
forth between my family and Justin's for Christmas and Thanksgiving, this year
we spent the merry holiday with my family since we were with Justin's for Turkey
day. Christmas 2007 was particularly fun because Hudson finally understood the
concept of Santa Clause! He woke up super early and eagerly woke up everyone
else so we could go down stairs to see what Santa had Brought. It was so fun
reliving the excitement I had once felt as a kid through my own son! Hudson kept
saying over and over again, "Santa Came, Santa Came! Down the chimney! Bring
choo-choo trains!!!" That's all he wanted, choo-choo trains....even though he
already had about thirty Thomas Trains! Here's a list of each of our big gifts
this year:
*Justin: New Snowboard and Snowboard Boots
*Amelia: 35 mm, 1.4 lense (WAHOOOOO!)
*Hudson: More Thomas Trains, and a Radio Flyer wagon
*Sloan: Tons of baby toys
Christmas was a total Blast!

I love my little Lyon Cubs!
Having the last name Lyon, one can only imagine
all of the "lion" things we have accumulated since we have been married and even
more so since we've had children. Anyway, a few days ago Hudson got out of his
bath and wanted to wear his new lion towel, well Sloan just happened to be
wearing his little lion outfit, so I decided to do a little impromptu photo
session with the boys!
