Pucker Up, Sweet Boy

Monday, August 30, 2010 Posted in Children, Personal

I absolutely love meeting with families and helping them capture a moment, helping them create a treasured image that represents them as a unit.  I love working so much with families, in fact, that I often do not pick up my camera much outside of my portraiture sessions.  Plus, I don’t want to over-document the lives of my kids – when we are at the pool, I want to let them swim, heck – I want to swim with them, not just take their photos.  But I made an effort to change that this summer.  I had my camera handy and snapped away when a moment tugged at my heartstrings.  And I’m so glad I did – here is one of those moments.

J. and A.

Thursday, August 19, 2010 Posted in Children

Oh, my!  How did I overlook posting a few images from this sweet session?  These two lovely, little ones are so dear to me.  I met them last year when I photographed the entire Y. family in Orange County.  I plainly adore the whole lot of them.

Soooooooo, I apparently am not the only one who thinks they are adorable.  Both J. and A. have signed with a Los Angeles based modeling agency. I hope to share more images of these two cuties and more GREAT news in the next couple of weeks as they finish up more interviewing.  Stay tuned!!

The Other Borgo Family

Thursday, July 29, 2010 Posted in Children, Family

I wish we lived closer to these guys.  We love spending time with family.  And my boys were just thrilled beyond words to spend time with their only cousins.

Doug, Lacy, A. and A. came for a visit all the way from Colorado and we had such a fun time.  We fed the ducks in our nearby pond, visited Legoland, the Wild Animal Park, Presidio Park, and Old Town.  We also squeezed in some much needed pool time, enjoyed reading books together, and created art projects!

And let’s not forget Balboa Park.  That is where Doug and Lacy wanted to have some family portraits taken.  Plus, Lacy,  a wonderful children’s book author , andneeded some recent headshots for her upcoming publications.  You wanna pick up a copy of my favorite book written by Lacy? Click here for the Amazon listing.

So, back to the park – I love the many faces of Balboa Park and we were able to explore it for almost 2 hours.  You already met my oldest niece in this blog post.  So now I’d like to introduce you to little A.  and the rest of the Borgos.  Here are just a few of my  favorite images, love you guys!

P. S. Drama Department: Headshots

Sunday, July 25, 2010 Posted in Seniors

Last month, I had the pleasure to work with these young women and men from one of the finest schools in San Diego County.  They have all studied under the direction of Natasha Ippolito and have performed in various festivals in San Diego County.  Just before many of them graduated, I got a chance to photograph them.

What a dream!  They were all NATURALS in front of the camera!  Very polished, very professional!  Incredible.
