What a sassy young lady!

More to come soon.

#1: Settlers of Catan

Settlers of Catan is a nerdy board game that is a cross between monopoly and risk. It is oh so addictive (and each game takes such a long time to play, yikes).

#2: My Digital Piano

I recently bought a digital piano to satisfy my craving for playing music again. I took piano lessons from the age of 4 and nearly became a music major in college, but the practical side of me chose a different path instead.

#3: Getting Home Before Sunset

This happens so rarely that I cherish every single day when I do get home before the sun sets. Life gets so busy that the blog just gets tossed aside as a casualty.

But don’t worry, I’m still here!

How can it already be mid-June?? Where has time gone? Well, I guess it’s better late than never. I took this photo at the Madrona Marsh in Torrance. Located right next to the Del Amo mall, I’ve passed by it many times over the years but have never though to visit this park. I’m so glad I finally did! It felt so peaceful and secluded that I almost forgot I was even on a busy block of Torrance.

A few other photos from that day:

To round up the first post, here are some more pictures from my session with baby Itsy:

When Itsy started crying, Itsy’s father scooped her up and calmed her down in no time.

See? She’s definitely a daddy’s girl.

I love how the whole family joined hands in this picture:

Finally, more pictures from the cake smash!

But first, we took some pictures to document the baby’s first year. It’s amazing how in just one year a baby can become so expressive.

I love the terrific outfits that the mom picked! The colors were so cheery and lovely. And then, we put the cake in front of the baby and let her go wild with it :)

Look at her lashes! So pretty.

This baby was quite tame, so her sister put some icing on her face to help her get messy :)

This was my favorite picture of the day:
