Gelato Delicioso

Back from a long weekend in Vegas, 4 days actually way longer than a weekend.  And it was especially long because I was assisting my sister with Alarah and Kaia.  My recommendation don't travel to Vegas with little kiddos haha.  We walked and we walked and we walked and my legs were swollen at the end of every night and by 6:30 am Alarah was screaming mommy, KK, mommy, KK.  Wowza!  But the joys of being an Auntie I do love them :)  And one great outcome of the weekend; some fabulous shots on the old Canon!  I am so pleased with my photography skills.  I know I might not ever become a professional photographer, but I really do genuinely enjoy taking pictures especially of Kaia and Alarah, they are the cutest.  And I have to say Vegas allows for some greatly lit shots.  I'll post more soon, but here's a little taste.  My favorite picture from the weekend, Alarah slobbering over some delicious looking gelato at Jean Philippe's at the Aria hotel.

Newport, California



I took this picture over the weekend and I really really liked it so I'm going to post it on here! :)  Over the weekend we went to Newport, CA and hung out at the Resort at Pelican Hill.  It was crazy nice.  My second time there (the first for my sister's 30th birthday last October)  We also went to Disneyland with my nieces on sunday; valentine's day.  It was a very fun weekend to spend with the family and to take a little time to relax.  Our butler drove us down to Crystal Cove to hang out by the ocean for a little bit.  After Alarah and Corey were done playing on the beach we packed up and headed for the place where she dropped us off.  As we were waiting the scenery was so nice I decided to take a bunch of pictures.  Normally when I take pictures of Corey and Alarah they are really posed, and smiling just because that's more natural for them when I'm pointing my camera at their faces.  But I just loved this shot because it caught them both totally off guard, which was great! :)  Some might not like it, but I do and that's all that matters!! :)
