Our family is growing.....

but not in the way you think :)

We are SO excited to announce that my (Lindsey) sister Laila and her hubby Landon are having a BABY! 

We're going to have a niece/nephew!! And look how cute the little lime is!!!!

okay so naturally we had to think of some fun way to tell everybody! sure we could have written the due date on a chalk board or had them hold baby shoes in their hands or something but I wanted to do something a little different. I offered up the idea of doing some sort of video. Landon being the creative guy that he is suggested this "story line" which of course I immediately loved. "Can you make the costumes??" I asked him..."Of course! It will be easy!"

And I must say Landon, you did good my brother-especially creating these out of nothing in 5 days!!

I'm not a videographer and don't have that gear but I did have a trusty little cannon EOS so we took that puppy out for a spin on Sunday. Enjoy the somewhat inappropriate but totally silly creation we made :)

This is a {mostly} true story. from Lindsey Freitas on Vimeo.

You can expect an onslaught of baby pictures come 2014 :) 

Beautiful Mountain Winery Wedding - Saratoga, California {Jen & Michael}

Michael and Jen are the type of couple that stands up in front of their entire room full of wedding guests and personally thanks all of the vendors at their wedding. 

Seriously. They actually did that (I may or may not have gotten a little misty)

They are so breathtaking as a couple & also just as human beings-just remarkable souls truly. We were so excited when Christina Romero from Signature Events by Christina Romero reached out to see if we were available for their gorgeous Mountain Winery wedding. One of my favorite parts was the incredible artists they had at their reception who did characters for all of the guests. They were seriously AMAZING and the guests LOVED it! 

Enjoy some highlights from their beautiful day!!

 

Alice In Wonderland Whimsical Engagement Shoot {Down the Rabbit Hole}

Part Two of our FABULOUS couple who are getting married in a few months.....

Part One of their engagement shoot is here....

Okay things you need to know about this couple:

1. The bride is part of the Pinocchio family (she is heir to the writer of the legendary tale) & therefore LOVES literature and whimsy.

2. The bride is a special FX makeup artist and once on a whim did her friend's makeup for halloween-he wanted to be a zombie and she totally winged it. Her work on her friend is now the MOST SEARCHED zombie image on the internet: THATZOMBIEPHOTO.COM
