Lara and Gideon| San Diego Maternity Photographer

Monday, May 3, 2010 Posted in Maternity

Lara reminds me so, so much of my good friend Katie.  They are both drop-dead gorgeous.  They are both tall and slender.  They both have these locks, this incredible, goddess-like hair that makes you just stop and stare.  And they both have the most disarming smile.  A smile that is warm and genuine, smart and vibrant.  Katie lives up north and I never got a chance to see her when she was pregnant, but I bet she looked as radiant and amazing as Lara does today.

Lara and Gideon are about to welcome a little baby into their family.  They don’t know if they are having a boy or girl, so they’ll have to start working on that name list ASAP.  I offered up my middle name if they have a girl.  Lara and Gideon know that I don’t like my first name, Sylvia, but that I love my middle name.  They also know the crazy story about HOW I got named Sylvia.

Let’s have a little fun – leave a comment below and tell us your favorite name for a baby boy and a baby girl.

Lara and Gideon.  It was such an incredible pleasure to meet you.  I hope I can meet baby soon.

The White Family | San Diego Matrenity Photographer

Friday, April 23, 2010 Posted in Family, Maternity

It was my extreme pleasure to meet Keri, Drew and their two boys O. and I. for a family portrait session and maternity session combined!  This family is so super sweet.  Keri and Drew really know how to have fun with their boys, who are very close in age to my two boys.  Big brother O. was incredibly patient and extremely cooperative – what a sweetheart he was with his mommy.  Little man I. was a bundle of energy, independent, and super intelligent.  My reverse psychology techniques didn’t work on him as I tried to round him up for a family shot.  Ha, ha!

Both of these cutie-pies are about to welcome a sibling into the family!  Yahoooooie!  And I get to meet the new bebe next month for newborn images.

And Drew and Keri.  Wow!  What can I say?  They are one of the sweetest couples I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing.  They didn’t mind one bit when I asked them to cuddle.  Nope, they didn’t mind one bit when I asked them to “make out.”  *giggle*  And, then . .  they started dancing.  YES!  Dancing!  Adorable!  I am thrilled that I get to spend the “year” with them – since I’ll be documenting baby’s first year.

And the last thing I NEED to say is . . . . Holy smokes!  Check out the completely gorgeous, amazingly beautiful Keri.  I mean . . . really.  REALLY!  I’m speechless.

Eliko and Peter | San Diego Maternity Photographer

Friday, April 9, 2010 Posted in Maternity

I’ve known Eliko for nearly 15 years.  She is one of my dearest, dearest friends.  She was my maid of honor, actually.  I have always admired her intelligence, her style, her loyalty, her warmth.

I remember about 12 years ago, when I wasn’t yet married to my hubby (we were just moving from the friendship stage to the flirting stage), we were in line to see a movie and I was telling him about my day and how I had hung out with Eliko.  I started telling David, “Oh!  Eliko is just so gorgeous.  She is super smart.  She is a great listener.  She is so sweet with her kindergarden students, they all love her.  She is trilingual, you know.  She is truly a treasured friend.”  David then turned to me and said, “Can you introduce me to her?”  I’m pretty sure I glared at him.

And here are Eliko and Peter now.  Awaiting the arrival of their little bebe.  Both wondering if he or she will be have mama’s nose or papa’s toes.  Or mama’s sense of independence or papa’s artistic flair.

And I couldn’t be any happier for my gorgeous friend who is truly glowing, like she always has.

BLOOM | San Diego Maternity Photographer

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 Posted in Family, Maternity

bloom /blum/ (noun): a flourishing, healthy condition; the time or period of greatest beauty, artistry, etc.: the bloom of youth; the bloom of Romanticism

Mommies-to-be are among the MOST beautiful beings on Earth. They really are. Perhaps they don’t feel beautiful all the time, but I think mommies-to-be are gorgeous. I present to you the evidence

Beautiful Michele. Brilliant. Lovely. In full bloom. Mike is one lucky guy, don’t you think?

I met up with the wonderful Mike and Michelle today for their maternity session. They are truly one of the most beautiful couples I know. Truly. Their beauty is not just on the surface, it comes from deep within, from their true hearts and their compassionate souls. I am lucky to count them as friends.

Julie and Jonathan Expecting | San Diego Maternity Photographer

Wednesday, April 8, 2009 Posted in Maternity

I love photographing mommies-to-be. It is so beautiful to see a woman full of joy, full of anticipation, full of life. I know some elements of a pregnancy are less than fun (my least favorite part of being pregnant were the leg cramps I would get at 2am!), but having a maternity session is definitely FUN!

Meet Julie and Jonathan! They are expecting their little boy at the beginning of May (I can’t wait to meet him!). We spent the early morning hours walking along the picturesque UCSD Campus.

You may notice this session looks a little different than my previous work. After talking with Julie and getting her ideas about what kind of portraits she liked, I decided to focus on making her session vintage-y. If you’ve seen my previous work, you know I love bold and bright colors. I thought a vintage look would complement Julie’s in-bloom beauty. What do you think?

Enjoy your sneak peek, guys! It was such a pleasure to photograph you!

Okay, I still love bold, bright colors!
