I have slowly been editing a few more images of my niece and found these adorable pictures of her jumping! I thought they were too cute not to share. And then, I also wanted to share a picture of my baby girl with her big cousin too. Aren’t they adorable!?

I haven’t seen my beautiful niece since last Christmas, so I took the opportunity to get a few pictures of her…isn’t she gorgeous?! Here are just a few to share with my readers and my family! Thanks for looking!

Olivia was so excited today when the FedEx man knocked on the door and handed me a box. The excitement became overwhelming when we opened it and she found her very own fairy princess costume!!! The best part is that it was so generously sent to us by Roxanne at P2C…she is the sweetest thing! So thanks Roxanne, for making our day a little bit brighter. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

so special…brianne brose | san diego lifestyle photographer

Well, we had every intention of doing a family shot using the self timer on my camera…up until we realized our tripod only holds a video camera and not an actual DSLR, bummer. So, since we were there I was planning on being in front of the camera anyway, which makes me sick to my stomach, I went ahead and let my husband take mine & Livvy’s picture together. I am not gonna lie, I feel totally ugly, but I feel so happy to have this. I have maybe 1 or 2 pictures of myself with her since her birth, so this is SPECIAL.

With the holiday rush coming to a close, I finally have some time to go through my own pictures and trash the ones I don’t want. I almost threw this one out and then realized how stinkin’ cute she is and couldn’t do it! She totally cracks me up with her wild hair and silly face…I know, mommy goggles. I just LOVE the light and my baby girl, so thought I’d share!

Give Someone Something Special

My friends over at Essential Imagery have set up this fan-freaking-tastic site Giving is Awesome and I wanted to share the love too.

Here is how it works -

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $1195 worth, to be exact. The winner will receive a photo session along with all the digital files to fully decorate their home and be able to share with friends and family. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a FREE session worth $195. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in the San Diego area. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : briannebrosephotography@gmail.com

The winner will be announced on New Years Day — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Brianne

red tricycle…brianne brose | san diego lifestyle photographer

Olivia got a red tricycle for her 2nd birthday in September but we haven’t spent much time practicing. She spent most of the first few months incredibly afraid of it, so we let it collect dust in the garage until today! She pointed to it on our way out of the garage this morning and I thought this evening was the perfect time to give it a spin! We went to a nearby church parking lot and let her go at it. Pedaling isn’t really her thing yet, haha, but at least she wasn’t quite as afraid! We will practice, practice, practice until she is a pro! Here are a few pictures from tonight!

And my VERY favorite one, wild hair and all…

same belly, different day…brianne brose | san diego lifestyle photographer

Remember this beautiful belly from our urban maternity session 2 weekends ago? Well, we decided to get together one more time to capture her bare belly, since out in the middle of downtown isn’t always the most comfortable place. :) And I was the luckiest girl because I got to see their dog Brody again! He is just the cutest. Anyhow, working with this little family is a blast, thanks for letting me hang out guys! Can’t wait to meet Ethan!
