A couple of weeks ago I had the great pleasure of hanging out with the Hunter family. I couldn’t BELIEVE I finally got to meet them. D. and I had been going back and forth, back and forth trying to find the perfect date for the session. Finally, we found a good date on the calendar – but it got rained out. We rescheduled, and it rained again. We rescheduled but got our calendars mixed up and we had to postpone yet again! So, finally, finally, finally I got to meet D. and her husband B. and their 4 awesome kids – S., J., K., and L.
Let’s go in order from oldest to youngest.
This is S. He reminds me a lot of my oldest son. S. is 4 years older than my son, but their quiet personality is something that is such an intrinsic part of them that it is quite magnificent.

J. has a vivid personality, she radiates exuberance and humor. This image was taken at the very beginning of the session – she was still warming up to me. Look at her hair!

You met K. yesterday! She was another one that loooooooved the camera. And, the camera loved her!

And last but not least, L. – such a great toddler. She surely kept up with her older brother and sisters! Yup, she did! When D. told me about L. via email she said that L. was “curious about the world . . .” Exactly! She would ably toddle away from us to pick flowers, climb rocks, stare at passing horses, and loved every minute of it.

Meet D. and B. – super easy going parents. You can tell how much they foster togetherness by the way the kids related to each other and to their parents.


And finally, one of my faves. As soon as I saw this a couple of weeks ago, as my card reader was downloading my images on to my computer, I immediately flagged it as a favorite. I love S.’s smile and the way D. is admiring her first “baby.”


Okay, how cute are these???? Cute, right??? These accordion books make the PERFECT brag books for mom, dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles! They are small enough that you can toss them in your purse or display them at your desk at work, but they are also prominent enough that they will make a statement!


A few weeks ago, I shared with you one sneak peek image of a project I’m working on with the fabulous Jennifer Rosson from Style Your Life. We are teaming up to showcase America’s Finest – San Diego! We will be visiting some of our favorite shops, eateries, hangs in the city and putting together a Style Guide. These shops are representative of the local flavor of each neighborhood we visit, from classic Mission Hills, to trendy La Jolla, to vibrant Downtown, we’ll cover them all!
Up first, laid-back Encinitas!

You met this little cutie last week and got to see her sneak peak a couple of weeks ago.

Today, I wanted to share with you a handful of “Behind The Scenes” shots from her newborn shoot. Here are Pri and Joel being awesome and helping me keep Naya warm and toasty and safe until the very last second, right before I snap-snap-snap-snap some photos.

And you know, Pri is an awesome photographer herself. So, for the first time EVER *trumpets blaring, cymbals crashing* I have some pics of me, behind the scenes! Thanks a million, Pri!!!
