Thank Heaven for Little Girls

This past weekend, we fought the crowds at Coronado Shores (in November!!) and had a fun shoot with a family that has one little adorable girl. She was so cooperative and seemed to really like her first excursion to the beach.

What a sweet girl

Another Frequent Family

Last weekend I got to do something a little different with another great family that I've shot for the past 3 years. This year we went to Harry Griffen Park and had a nice change of scene for the photos. With 2 boys, there's always a lot of energy and we had fun. Everyone managed to stay clean until we were done!

Watching Kids Grow

I did a mini-session shoot for one of my favorite families last weekend. They were some of my first clients when I started the business and have used me at least once every year since. It's been amazing to watch their children grow and we always have fun at the shoots. This year they included some grandparents. Here's a few pics from the shoot.

Thanks for another fun year!

I love newborn babies!

I had a shoot yesterday morning with a great family (and former co-worker) at Harry Griffen Park in La Mesa. After my inital shock when we showed up to discover that it was Park Appreciation Day with LOTS of volunteers and such around, we found some less-populated spots to take a couple nice photos of their sweet family. They have a 2 month old baby boy and a great big sister. In between shots, I got to help hold the baby and he was a sweetie.

Mom and Daughter - don't they look alike?

Awesome Family

Celebrating Motherhood

I spent time with a sweet family this past week that has one son and is expecting a little girl in 13 days! I was able to capture some precious moments of the family and their son loving his Mommy's belly. Congratulations to them and their new baby!

Fun Family Shoot

I don't usually do sessions at Ocean Beach, but ended up with a nice set of photos from a family shoot this summer. This is a good example of how we can get great shots when we just let kids be kids!

2008 Mini-Sessions

I know it’s only September, but it’s time to start thinking about family portraits for the holidays! Due to the popularity of my Mini-Sessions last year, I am bringing them back this year and the spots are filling up fast! I have put together 3 times for sessions this year. Included in each mini-session will be a 20 minute photo shoot and a CD with all of the images from the shoot that you may use to print without copyright restriction for things such as Christmas & Holiday cards. The fee for this session will be $125 (a regular session is $275) and it is for up to 8 people. For more than 8, it is $5 more per person.
The following dates, locations and times are still available:

I will fill these slots on a first-come, first-serve basis, so respond early to get your first choice.
I will send additional information regarding where to meet, etc. to those that are scheduled the week before your shoot.

If you have a large group that requires more than 20 minutes or are interested in a more lengthy shoot for your family, contact me about a regular session ($85 sitting fee, $275 for the All-Inclusive Package, which includes the sitting fee, the CD, and a proof of each image – lasts about 45 minutes).
