Summer Adventures from Aura on Vimeo.
Summer 2010 was full of new adventures. Cliff diving in Austin, surfing & kayaking in Florida, backpacking Colorado, and hiking to the summit of the 2nd tallest mountain in the states.
And at the end of our sweet Summer, we discovered we were about to go on our biggest adventure, yet.
:)
Here is a little video of Summer 2010.

Oh what a lovely video, with a goosebump inducing ending. Congratulations, that's lovely news. Being a Mama is amazing. I look forward to following you on your journey.
Cole & I just watched this together and both got so excited at the end for you guys. What a great way to tell people. So awesome. LOVED it! Holy cow. :)
Wow! Congratulations. It is quite the adventure. Not that I know what I'm talking about. But, I think my parents are feeling the close of their adventure. I'm the last kid at home, and I'm all grown up too. :(
That was amazing! Seriously, I don't quite know what to make of it! It was also inspiring. Gorgeous pictures - good luck on your big adventure...

C O N G R A T S ! !
Wow that was amazing how you did that! AND CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!!!!Whoo hoo!
hooray congrats!! just loved the video!
Ahhhhhh! I had a feeling. Congratulations to you, Aura. Enjoy every moment.
Oh how exciting!!! Your trip looked amazing. Did I see the Great Sand Dunes in there? If so, you were in my neck of the woods (well I live in Denver, technically but my grandma lives 20 minutes from the Dunes!)
Based on the u/s I'd guess that was at what? 9-10 weeks? maybe 12? Congrats hun! I've got 9 weeks left in my pregnancy and its been the best thing to ever happen to us!
Congrats! :D
As soon as I saw the post title I knew it!!! :) :) :) Congratulations!!!
And, I know I've said this before, but I do simply adore your photography. You take some of the most beautiful, unique shots I've ever seen, and definitely inspire me in my photography career. :)
what a beautiful way to put memories and images together. What do you use to capture these moments? Is it a video or continuously shot photos?
Anyways, seriously seriously congratulations! I got such goosebumps. i cannot wait to watch this little miracle progress.
Keep us updated!

Thank you, everyone!! We are so very excited. We announce the news today, and it feels like the moment we found out all over again.
Natosha- Yes we spent a day at the sand dunes this Summer! They were amazingggg. The ultrasound was at 9w4d, and I'm 12 weeks pregnant now. :) We've been sneaky and hiding it.
Morgan- It's a stop motion film, which is just a series of photos put together. This video was about 1,500 pictures. Isn't that crazy? I started doing these in the Spring, with no purpose in mind. When we found out we were pregnant in July, we thought it would be cute to put together a film of our baby-making Summer. :)
I knew what your surprise was as soon as I read that there was one! I had read one of your comments on another blog and your name and comment brought me to your blog..
Congrats.. being a Mama is great, my son is 5 and we're expecting another sweet blessing in April :)
I have followed your blog for a long time and have never commented...you are amazingly talented and inspirational...thank you! Congrats on the little one...it truly will be your greatest adventure.
Beautiful movie! Looks like a wonderful summer and a perfect end to it. Congrats to you and your husband!! Very exciting! Have a happy and eatly rest of your pregancy. You are going to be a beautiful pregnant mama!
xo,
Kelly
I have been waiting for you to announce this. For some reason I just knew it would be soon and you would do it creatively. I can't wait to see your sweet baby, I am sure he or she will be beautiful!
That is such a wonderful video! very artistic! Congratulations too on a baby on the way :)
I had a feeling this was coming! Your little Adventure Baby, I can't wait to hear more about A.B. coming into the world. Much love to you two!
Congrats, Congrats, Congrats!!! You are gonna be an awesome mom!
That was a great video, it must have been a TON of work! Thanks for sharing :)

Yay! What a sweet video and congrats on the baby!
Oh, congratulations! I had a hunch that the surprise was a baby :) I am so excited for you. It's funny, because you don't know me, and I only know you through your blog. But I love your spirit and your words and pictures here. I am so happy for you two. And wow- what a truly amazing summer!
From one mother to another - congratulations on the best news of your life! Such a gorgeous video, such gorgeous news!

you are a talented, talented lady. very inspirational video - reminds me I keep wanting to make these little bursts of memory.
congratulations on the baby news!
congratulations!!! ahhhh what a blessing!
congratulations! i had a feeling, too. you were giving out some major mama vibes :) or your blog was glowing or something :)
how wonderful! best wishes!!
I've been a silent follower of your blog for some time now and am so excited to hear about this new chapter in your lives. Especially since I found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago too! Congrats you guys!!!
Aura, I almost cried. I am SO excited for you, Michael, your parents, Auva, your grandparents, freaking Holly, and I don't even know you or them. Reading about your life since you were a teenager until now... I just feel like I DO know you and them. I've read about all your relationships, college, becoming a hair stylist, your old California dreams, your pets, your marriage and now...your first child. It's just been an amazing journey for me to follow and learn from and be inspired by. You've always been the most beautiful person on the outside to me but really, you've grown through your photos and writing and maturing to just be a beautiful person inside&out. I tell you this from time to time, but thank you for letting me follow along and peek into your life for 10+ years...I truly feel it's a special thing to watch. I may never have a life like yours or look like you or be talented like you but I can burst with happiness through your stories and photographs along the way. I will be sending good thoughts and prayers for you to have a healthy, safe pregnancy. Congratulations.
I knew it too! :) I'm so excited for you Aura, you guys are so freakin' cute.
Love that song too!

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video. I wish you all you all the best!
I just knew it! I was going to be seriously bummed if that wasn't the surprise. Congratulations and welcome to motherhood! (And at the risk of being completely obnoxious, here's a shameless plug for my blog in which I am actually writing a pregnancy series :D) Oh, and that was an awesome video. Babies are awesome, you're going to have so much fun!
Oh my god Aura, congratulations to you and Michael! I got cold chills when the video ended, i got tears in my eyes. I'm so excited for you two, even I dont know you really. I'm thinking of what a joy it is for your parents and grandparents too,amazing.. and the video is amazing too.
So so perfect! Love it! Congratulations to you both on your future explorer!
Oh, Aura. :) Congratulations to you both - what wonderful and exciting news! You two will make amazing parents! I hope you're feeling well...be sure to get some rest!
xo,
Angie
CONGRATULATIONS!
I teared up a little. I have seriously been waiting with baited breath for one of your posts to be you announcing that you're pregnant. I just had a feeling it would happen this summer, which is absolutely insane because I don't even know you.
I'm so excited for you both!
Oh my god, that made me smile :)
Biiig grats!!!

Aura, after 10 years reading your blog, how can I not comment on this post? SO HAPPY for you! can not wait to read all about it :)
congratulations! here's to the future. :)
Congratulations Aura! That is such exciting news! I absolutely loved the video!! You guys are going to make BEAUTIFUL babies ;)
Aura, I'm so happy for you. I'm an lj reader from forever ago (from the hellovegas days!) and it's so amazing to have been reading your journey up until this point. I remember a long time ago you posted an entry about how you were worried that your grandparents wouldn't get to see you have babies. For some reason that always stuck with me, maybe because my grandparents won't get to see my kids since they have all passed. I'm thrilled that your grandparents will get to meet your children and I am genuinely happy that you are doing so well. I wish you all the best.
I can't wait to watch this!! I am at work right now and videos are not allowed.. This will be the first thing to do when I get home!
Congrats on the baby!
Beautiful!!! And congratulations!!!
I've been silently reading yor blog for a good while these last months and this is the first time I feel like leaving a comment.
It is strange to feel happy for someone I don't even know but I am.
Enjoy these months and keep blogging.
