With family from Mexico, we incorporated these adorable handcrafted shoes gifted to them. Too little to fit just yet! Soon enough he will toddle all over the house in them.







And sometimes we catch a little smirk.  Wonder what he is dreaming about.


Interested in setting up a newborn session?  I schedule a tentative date with my newborn family 5-10 days after the due date.  Email Rebecca at effervescentmediaworks@gmail.com to inquire.

Many of my days these days I rock the messy mom bun, my shoulder becomes a napkin for baby and I might not get around to changing it, glasses, no makeup, and house slippers that are the fastest to slip on as I rush my kids out the door. And that is ok. This is my warrior outfit. The battle to cook a healthy meal for my kids and juggle keeping the baby happy and referee the kids and whatever quarrel they get into while we wait on daddy to get home.

Sometimes a girl just has to dress up to remember she is beautiful and so, I spoiled myself with this photoshoot.  Thank you to my talented husband, Matthew for taking these.


I have noticed that I do wear less makeup than I used to.  I think it is important to look in the mirror and feel beautiful just the way you are. But anyway, it is fun and refreshing to put on a glammed up face. Lately my 6 year old wants to help do my makeup.  So we have had all kinds of fun with the lipstick and blush etc. I will admit, she has gotten much better at it than we first started that fun when she was 3.  She thought she was so funny being a little too messy in the cute video we made together.















So when is the last time you put on a fresh face and did something fun like this just for you?  Maybe a gift for your husband or just a reminder that you might need, that you are beautiful.

I once did a shoot for a beautiful young girl in her 20's.  I asked her what the pictures were for.  "I just broke up with my boyfriend and I needed a pick me up"  Don't we all need that once in a while.

Looking forward to capturing family mini sessions at this location this weekend. I do have one more spot open if you are interested in snagging it. I will leave an update here when it is filled. Mini sessions are $300 and included 30 minutes with 30 edited images to keep.

The Don Edwards Bay National Wildlife Preserve has this unique long bridge that goes over the slough of the bay. It will be just beautiful with the evening light.
