Love is in the Air, Literally: The White Family | Carmel Valley Family Photographer

Saturday, November 13, 2010 Posted in Children, Family

AHA! I got to visit with the gorgy, gorgy White family again! Ohh, how time flies, last time I met with them, their little girl T. was just a week old, their little boy I. was, like, 5 inches shorter (growth spurt!), and their big boy O. was not yet a kindergardener. Oh, but how time does fly.

I have to say, thank you, thank you, thank you to this wonderful family. Thanks for having me spend this year with you, helping you document the growth of your family, and indulging me my “kooky” ideas – like throwing paper hearts in the air. :)

The Guillintas | San Diego Family Photographer

Saturday, November 6, 2010 Posted in Children, Family

You know when you are a kid and you have a best friend, and you imagine that you will grow up with this friend, that you will graduate together from high school, that you will keep in touch throughout college, that you will start careers and families and that one day your kids will hang out and play with her kids? I’m certain I’m not the only who has ever had these fanciful ideas – having a BFF is truly a treasure.

Meet Dacely and Paulo (again, since they were featured on my blog last year, too). I’ve known these guys since junior high. And don’t even think that I’m going to tell you how long ago that was because that would divulge my AGE, and that kind of information just can’t be OUT there. LOL! Let’s just say it was more than, . . . . ummm . . . . . a decade ago.

And meet their lovelies big bro J. and little bro A. – who are just two of the handsomest kiddos ever. I love their big brown eyes and their scrunchy lips. My boys love to hang out with these two guys. J. and my own kidlet #1 are both huge soccer fans.

I really love this location where we took these images. It allows us to play around with light in such a cool way. I hope you like the images that are bold and contrasty and that you equally love those that are flooded with light. Thoughts?

GAH! I love you guys! Here are just a select few . . .

So much light . . .: JinkyArt Workshop Part IV | San Diego Photographer

Monday, October 25, 2010 Posted in Children, Family, Personal

Since all of my sessions from the last 2 weeks were postponed because of the rainy weather (boy, it is going to be a busy November). I bring to you . . . . the 4th installment of the Jinky Workshop I attended in September. The first JinkyArt Worshop Sneak Peek was published in mid-September. JinkyArt Workshop Part II was published in mid-October. And JinkyArt Workshop Part III was from just a week ago.

So, yes. So much light I almost didn’t know what to do with it. And I was shooting into the sun. Whoa! I had never really tried backlighting before and wanted oh-so badly to really get great flare shots with the gorgeous light from that late afternoon. Wow! Can I just say I’m in loooooove with backlighting. Here are the images featuring a very beautiful family and all that yummy light.

The first image from the session I featured back in September is one of my fave of all time – CLICK HERE

And now, the new features:

JinkyArt Workshop: Part III | San Diego Photographer

Saturday, October 16, 2010 Posted in Children, Family, Personal

This is the third installment of select images from the FABULOUS JinkyArt Workshop that I attended in Los Angeles in early September. The 1st sneak peek was posted in September and the 2nd sneak peak was posted a couple of weeks ago.

This cutie-pie little boy and his sweet baby sister were full of energy! They were also very, very understanding when all 12 of us photographers wanted to snap pictures of them. How can you resist them? They are too adorable! Don’t you just love their red-hair and bright smiles???

The Edgerton Family | Balboa Park Family Photographer

Thursday, October 14, 2010 Posted in Children, Family

Do I photograph the sweetest, most beautiful families on the planet? Yes, yes I do. May I present to you Exhibit A for evidence?

Jennifer and David have such a beautiful family. GAH! Did you spy big sis A. in THIS blog post? She is a doll, right? That auburn hair, the dimples, and all that personality. She had me wrapped around her little finger from the first “Hello.” Now you get to meet baby sis C. - the happiest, most easy going 5 month old I’ve photographed recently. I love the images of the family walking down Balboa Park’s avenue where she is spying her sis and then spying the crazy lady sitting on the floor (that’d be me!) and cracking up in delight! And of course, Jennifer and David – such a beautiful couple. Gorgeous smiles, super stylish. What an honor it was to photograph them, especially since Jennifer is a photographer herself.

Ahhh, Edgerton family, I wanted to post these pictures for you a bit sooner since I know we’ve been planning your photo seession for some time now. I wanted you to sit side by side, all huddled around the computer so that you could take a peak at them all together. Phew, I made it right under my cut-off. It was sooo, soooo hard to just chose a couple of images for the blog post, so I hope you didn’t mind the extra wait when I show you all of THESE! And you will notice that these have a vintage tone to them. I love the softness and airiness of the vintage look. But never fear, my standard processing will always make an appearance!

Headshot Exchange | San Diego Photographer

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 Posted in Children, Personal, Portraits

About every 3 or 4 months, I get together with San Diego photographer pals to shoot for fun and to update our headshots. This time around, I was excited to hang out with Melissa, Michelle, Brad and Katie, Masen, Jennifer, Ian, and Cindy (who took my awesome headshot I am currently using on FB. Love ya Cindy!). And even though there were, like, 10 adults at the shoot, I ended up spending more time with sweetie-pie J. (Brad and Katie’s little boy). I think it is a good thing I’m a child and family photographer, don’t you think?

Apologies – I resized these too small but I’m just dying to get them out on the blog and decided not to resize them. Hope they still look okay!
