The Other Borgo Family | San Diego Family Photographer

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?

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 | San Diego H.S. Senior Photographer

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.

A.: Just one for now | San Diego Child Photographer

Okay, okay.  I should be working on a few other projects right now.  *GAH*  I’m diverging from my workflow.  But I just saw this one picture of my niece, A.  And I melted.  Her favorite color is red.  Love this girl!

The Plunkett Family: Sneek Peak #2 | La Jolla Family Photographer

Ta, da!!!  And now the adults!  I processed these in a more vintage fashion – less contrasty, more dreamy and romantic.  All families get to choose their favorite processing style when they select their images.

My 3 favorite processing styles:

a) my signature “color punch”

b) the lovely vintage look

c) dramatic BW with a touch of chocolate toning (mmmmmm, chocolate . . . .)

The Plunkett Family – Sneek Peak | La Jolla Family Photos

When Maura first contacted me about family portraits and mentioned that this would be as part of her birthday celebration, my heart just stopped.  What a great way to celebrate a landmark birthday!  She mentioned that her entire family would be convening upon San Diego to enjoy a week’s worth of festivities and would take part in portraiture session.  Her husband, her kids, their spouses, and, of course, her grandchildren – 18 people in all!  Whoa!    I have to be honest, I was a little scared of such a large group.  But, I couldn’t have asked for a more sweet family, for such polite, easy-going kids, for such adorable couples.  It was so much fun!  Thank you, thank you, thank you Plunkett family – you guys are darling!

Here is sneek peak #1.  The grandchildren!

C. Family: Featuring Baby E. | San Diego Baby Photographer

In my last {BLOG} post, I got a chance to show you one of my fave daughter+mommy shots ever.  And now you get to meet dad and spy a few more images of one of the happiest babies on the planet – beautiful E.

This is the third time I’ve met up with Christy, Todd and E. for family images.  Oh, and how my heart sings when I see E.  She was a perfect baby when I met her for her one month old photos (slept for most of her session), she was the perfect baby when I met for her 4 month old portraits (so smiley for her mommy and daddy), and she was the perfect baby for her 8 month old photos (curious about the sand, the flower petals, my camera, mommy’s hair).

I’m only going to share a few images of the C. family in this post.  Christy has big plans for these images and I don’t want to give away any surprises.

Enjoy!
