Natalia Giselle Accetta

Meet Natalia - my new niece!  My wife's sister delivered Natalia at 812 AM on 4/20/11 (my wife's birthday to boot!).  An all natural birth too!  She weighed in at 6 pounds and 14 ounces - that sounds like she's a boxer lol.  And in this corner, weighing in as a lightweight at 6 pounds and 14 ounces, Natalia The Italian-Mexican Fireball, Accettaaaaa!

She's perfectly healthy.

Unfortunately we missed the birth by about 5 minutes but these were shot when she was about two hours old.

Happy Mom...

Proud Grandma...

And since mom loves frogs...so does Natalia (she just doesn't know it yet).

Congratulations to Matteo and Erica!

Jody & Stephanie Engagement Shoot

Last week I had the privilege of shooting Jody and Stephanie's engagement pictures at El Dorado Park in Long Beach.  I've known Stephanie since high school so we had a lot of laughs.  Definitely a fun couple.

They brought their dog, Easton, along...

A couple of sports fans.  Good thing they aren't rivals - they kept it civil...

 

They love the outdoors and animals so this was the perfect spot.

 

Easton had fun too of course - except for when they had to tie him up to take shots without him.

My personal favorite...

 This wedding is going to be fun!
