Way back in November 2014 I ran a fun Black Friday promotion for a free session. Jake and Steph Diehl won that prize! We scheduled their session for February at the beautiful DeLoach Winery in Santa Rosa Ca. It is a gorgeous serene location with a fun setting. One of my favorite parts of this location is the lovely organic garden and farm animals! It helps with young kids when they need a little break or distraction from the session. It tends to cheer them up and get them happy and smilng after seeing the big fluffy sheep and silly little chickens.
The weather was perfect for our session and even though it had been a windy Sonoma County day it seemed to stop just for our session. We started out in the front entry area of the winery. I knew instantly this was going to be a blast. Little R was too adorable and full of personality! What kid doesn't love to throw little pebbles in and make a splash. I choose to start my sessions at this location near the little stream. It is a good way for me to show the kids that they can play and have fun while getting their photos done. No boring sitting in a studio photographs here!

| Is she not just gorgeous?! |
Miss R was so cooperative especially when the all mighty "gummies" had been mentioned. For gummies she does extra cute stuff like this....
 |
| That face! Too much!! lol |
Ok so my job is really hard right?! lol Miss R sure made it fun and easy. I think she would make a fabulous child model if she wanted to pursue such things. After the fun poses we ventured over to show R the animals and the fantastic organic garden.

| Hmmm.. how cute can I be? Let me think about that. |
Coming soon Miss R will be celebrating turning 3! She plans to celebrate with a super fun Lilo and Stitch themed party!

| Happy birthday Miss R! |
