Remy: Class of 2010 | San Diego H.S. Senior Photographer

Flashback to 1990-sumthin: It is the summer before my senior year in high school. I’m hanging out with my BFFs, working a part time job, and getting ready for the most exciting year of my life. Somethings never change. Or do they?

Back when I was in high school, and I had to hike 25 miles in the snow (all uphill) just to get to school, we didn’t have the opportunity to take cool senior pictures. We had to take the studio set-up pictures, wearing our cap and gown or that fuzzy, collarbone sash they made the girls wear. That’s what made it into the yearbook. I wish I could have taken portraits that highlighted ME and MY personality, my interests, my favorite hangs.

Flashforward to 2009, enter Remy: She is also hanging out with her BFFs, working part time, and awaiting the beginning of one of the most exciting years of her life! But, she gets to take Senior Shots that don’t involve that itchy, fuzzy, collarbone sash.

Here is a sneak peak, Remy!

The R. Family in Sun Diego | San Diego Family Photographer

Ahhh, Sun Diego . . . . People travel far and wide to spend their vacations in the glorious beauty of our city. Enter the Regala family visiting from Texas. I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon with them in Coronado to enjoy the sun, surf and sand. Paradise.

Doesn’t big brother B. have the sweetest smile? He liked exploring the sand with his feet, a bit cautiously at first, and then with lots of gusto! He wasn’t super excited about the cold water. Little brother D. was one of the happiest babies I’ve ever had the pleasure to photograph. It was 2 hours past his bedtime by the time we finished the session and he was STILL smiling for me! Mom T. and Dad. R. were so relaxed, so enthusiastic, so sweet. They were game for anything.

Enjoy your sneak peak T. and R. – thanks for inviting me to spend the afternoon with you.

Beautiful Newborn | San Diego Newborn Photographer

I have a tough job. Not. When I get to work with scrumptiously beautiful newborns and stunningly marvelous parents, I have the easiest job in the world. The other day, a friend asked, “How do you get the babies to sleep and curl up so?” I answered, “That’s easy, I give them to their mommies.” See, I do have the easiest job in the world. Seriously, mommies and daddies are the best baby-whisperers. I just come in with my camera, a cute baby cocoon, and voila!

Meet amazing M. Just 8 days old and absolutely perfect. This comes as NO surprise because, well, . . . look at her parents and adorable brother. I mean, just LOOK at ‘em!

E. and A., thank you for inviting me into your home this morning. It was my absolute pleasure to meet you!

The Kent Family: Heritage Park | San Diego Family Photographer

You know when you meet someone and get to know them, whether it be at a birthday party or a barbeque, and you just smile? You smile and smile because they just radiate generosity and spirit? This is the Kent Family. I know Leah, because our 4 year olds go to preschool together. We’ve greeted each other for the past two years as we drop off our boys, we’ve casually chatted at the classroom parties.

On Saturday, I got a chance to finally spend some quality time with this gorgeous mom of 5 and meet her terrific kids. T., who just graduated from high school (yahoooie T!), is one of the most polite, thoughtful young men I have ever met. Beautiful A. is a sweet young lady with a passion for photography (whoo hooo, A!). S. and D. are bundles of energy – S. a little more camera shy and D. quite the opposite. (They both kept on picking up flowers for me – thanks sweet boys!). And darling Luke – the little star of the family – who brought laughter and tenderness to our session.

Dearest Kent family, thanks for inviting me to come along and capture your special day!

Ohhhh! Gorgeous Boy | San Diego Family Photographer

They make my heart melt! They do. Toddlers are just so incredible. Sure, they can be a bit strong-willed. Sure, they might stare at you with a look that says, “Who are you, crazy lady?” But when they take your hand and trust you to show them a new adventure it just melts my heart.

It was my great, great pleasure to photograph M. – one of the sweetest little boys I’ve ever met! Mom J. and dad K. met me in Old Poway Park with grandparents C. and S. We had a little picnic, we played near a train. We had a great afternoon! Hey, little M., thanks for bringing your parents and grandparents to the photo session. What a great idea you had to invite a few of your favorite people to join in on the fun!
