When Vicent told me he had a project meeting with the Naturadora and Takataka  in a country cottage in Benissa I told him I was going with baby Kalaii. They are some of our favorite people on both a personal and professional level. Vicent is so fortunate to be able to work on these fantastic projects with such inspiring people,  and I am so lucky they let me crash their business lunches and hang out.

As we approach baby's three month birthday I am starting to find more time to dedicate to photography. I have been shooting in between feedings all week and wanted to share a few images from a quick family mini-session with Monica and Jaime, a pre-boda/engagement session with the lovely Tamar and Paul (felicidades!),  and the always adorable Luis and Lidia. In other news, the Indie Tot featured Empar, Joan, & Eugeni, the Spanish wedding blog Una Boda Original featured photography from Sergio and Rosa's pretty Costa Blanca wedding and Wednesday's Revista MIA featured my cover photo. You can check that out at your local quiosco here in Spain. Here's to another busy and exciting week. Feliz fin de semana!

When I was pregnant with Kalaii I got excited to make a mobile for his crib. I had no idea the room we spent so much time painting and thinking about during pregnancy would become an extension of the laundry room after baby's arrival. Since we ended up practicing co-sleeping, we pretty much just go in there to fold clothes. I thought it was about time to check out the crib and the mobile I made (inspired by origami cranes from Antonio and Patricia's wedding).

Patricia and Antonio had a very personal and special wedding at the Museo del Traje in Madrid. We also did a preboda/engagement shoot there ... which you can see here. They were inspired by Japan when choosing details and decoration for the day. Patricia made origami cranes for each table setting and ikebana flower arrangements for center pieces. Patricia and Antonio are so sweet together and I feel so lucky they included us in their wonderful celebration.

We had an amazing year in 2011. We launched Bikini Birdie, traveled all over Spain and the US shooting weddings and traveling... We got pregnant and spent half of the year tipping the scales. Vicent got a big job that took up most of the year and got to collaborate with the wonderful, talented ladies of La Naturadora.

Here are some of the twelve videos made from his illustrations used in a traveling exhibit made in a bus (YES! A BUS!.. see photos) to promote awareness about climate change! Check out more from this project on Vicent's web page.

Tuvimos un  2011 increíble. Ha visto la luz nuestro nuevo proyecto Birdie Bikini, con el que hemos viajado por España y EE.UU. Megan se quedó embarazada y vimos como  su barriga aumentaba de tamaño día a día. Yo (Vicent) estuve trabajando en un nuevo proyecto en colaboración con las encantadoras amigas de La Naturadora.

Éstas son algunas de las animaciones que realizaron los amigos de El Takataka, a partir de mis ilustraciones para este proyecto. Una exposición itinerante sobre medio ambiente en un autobús (¡Sí! Un autobús! .. mira las fotos) para promover la conciencia sobre el cambio climático!

Sergio and Rosa are this fantastic fun couple that I am so happy to have met.. they live and work right here in Denia, Spain and are fast becoming friends of ours. Needless to say their wedding was simple,  beautiful, and very fun. They were married outside at the wonderful Hotel les Rotes in my favorite part of Denia. I am putting up way too many pictures of Rosa.. but isn't she the most beautiful bride? Here are some of my favorites from their special day. Vivan los novios!!

I am so excited to have collaborated on the first ever Kireei magazine in print. If you haven't gotten your copy yet .. make sure to right away. Kireei is one of our favorite blogs and a BFF of Bikini Birdie. I photographed the lovely Monica wearing designs from the collection of emes, an independent Spanish designer. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shoot but make sure to check out the spread in the beautiful magazine..
