I recently had the honor of taking my sister in laws pictures for her new business cards.  She recently started in Real Estate.  If you are looking to buy a home and need an agent let me know and I can connect you to her.    I really like how the pictures turned out.  It made it so easy since she is such a beautiful woman.  We had a lot of fun during the shoot.  She had a few outfit changes.  We took the pictures in her yard.  I cannot wait to see the final business card.       My favorite!    

My sweet little girl turned 2.  I know everyone says it but I cannot believe hoq quickly time goes by.  Maya is a sweet, beautiful, fiesty little lady whom I adore.  She constantly makes me laugh and smile.  When I started planning her party I instantly knew it had to have a Minnie Mouse theme.  She LOVES, I mean loves Minnie or as she calls her "Me Mouse".  Each time she sees Minnie her entire face lights up and has the biggest smile. For her Minnie party, I took a lot of inspiration from Pinterest.  For more information visit me on Pinterest.  I wanted to make the decorations and found so many great ideas on Pinterest.  It was a lot of fun.  My mother in law made the amazing cake.  It turned out so cute.  Maya's shirt is from "Stitch It" which I found on Etsy and Facebook.  They were great to work with and loved how it turned out. I bought black plates and cut out circles for the ears. For ...

This year for Valentines Day I decided I wanted to make something for my hubby instead of buying something.  I am trying to be more creative and ended up loving how it turned out.  Want me to make you one too?  Let me know!  Send me an email @ kellydixonphotography@gmail.com . Enjoy your someone special this Valentine! 

So I have been teaching myself Photoshop and this is the first photo that I wanted to share with everyone.  I am very proud of myself (so far) but have so much more to learn.  What do you think??  

Wishing you and the people you love a Merry Everything and a Happy Whatever!

Some fun photos from Halloween this year. Enjoy!!   Cousins:  The Power Rangers and one Princess

For my son's Fall break this year we went to "the Happiest Place on Earth" with our friends the Lazors. We had a fantastic time and came home exhausted.    We spent 12+ hours at California Adventure and 12+ hours at Disneyland and still did not see all the attractions/rides. I had done lots of research before we left and discovered some great tips for a website called www.mousesavers.com.   It is a great resource for anyone wanting to visit the parks.  It was also the cheapest tickets I could find.  We started out at California Adventure. Since Maya is only 18 mos old she couldnt go on many of the rides.  While the group waited in line Maya and I walked around Cars Land.  We had lots of fun in the gift stores trying on hats and looking for souvenirs. (One of the tips I learned from mousesavers is called a Fast Pass and Ride Swap.)  Since one person had to wait with Maya while the others went on the ride, as soon as the ride was...
