We’ve known Mindy and Gary for a while now and they’re gonna be taking the plunge this coming January. They are the sweetest and most genuine people and we can’t wait until their wedding. We met up with them in Newport Beach for a few clicks around town and on the beach. Ever since I took photos of their traditional Vietnamese engagement ceremony, I’ve been looking forward to their shoot. Of course, they were a blast to be around and we had all kinds of smiles, laughs, playing, romance, kissing, hugging and a two year old boy running around (Lucas tagged along!). Here is just a sample of what we saw:

Sophie and Tim plan on getting married sometime next year, but they have not yet finalized any plans. Tim is currenlty stationed in Iraq so Sophie contacted me saying that she wanted to do an early engagment session while Tim was here on leave. I knew right away that it was gonna be a special one. And…she found me on Flickr! Gotta love Flickr. It was a treat for us to witness their natural charm and affection towards each other. Tim is going back soon and we were glad to be a part of his stay. Be safe…we’ll be thinking of you!

So the news has been out for a while that we are expecting our second little person in our crazy world this coming December. After not finding out the sex when Lucas was born (which was both fun and stressful), we decided to find out the sex of Baby #2. We’ve all been dying to know what it’s gonna be for the last few months and the debate has raged on within the family. Let’s just play out the scenarios…

1. A Little Baby Girl: We would balance out our kooky little family and Tey can finally have a teammate. Lucas would have a little sister that he could look after and bug for fashion advice. I would have another girl to stress about as if Tey wasn’t enough to give me a dozen strands of greys. And, the whole family will go super crazy to finally have another little girl in the mix after a seamingly endless line of boys popping out.
2. A Little Baby Boy: The Garcia family name would NEVER die! My dad would have 7 boys underneath him (4 sons and 3 grandsons)!! I’ll be three away from forming the Garcia 5 and taking over the Billboard Charts. Lucas would have a little brother that he could look after and still bug for fashion advice. And, the whole family will just go just kinda crazy to have another sweaty boy around…so sad ;)

So, let’s get to the goods. Of course, I have to provide a little more suspense, so you’ll have play the slideshow below to find out!!!!!
