L family...here are a few more

Gorgeous parents=beautiful kids...

I know this is pretty much the same shot as the first, however, I just love the look on the kids faces...don't they look like they're up to something?


what a little heartthrob!


My favorite, bc she's smiling, yay, finally got one, just loved how the wind caught her at the right time.

here are a few sneak peeks...

I had the pleasure to photograph this nice family with 2 cute little boys. I quickly browsed and edited a few to post, and I'm really excited to see which ones Mom/Dad chooses for me to edit cuz there are so many frameable ones. Enjoy!

Baby dos has a name...

Meet Izzy. Cute as a button. Mommy gave birth about a week ago to a healthy baby and heavy (just under 10 lbs) girl. Kat had a natural birth without any drugs, and recovering quite well. Way to go Kat!!!
Here are just a few...











Proud big sister.





Does that smile represent happiness or....gas, or both? :-)

More adorable pics...

Willow is another 1 yr old that I recently photographed.  It seems like lately all I've been taking pictures of are one year olds.  I actually like it cuz they are not quite mobile yet, and most are still furniture walking, so I'm not running around chasing after them and sweating like you wouldn't believe.  Luckily, her older sister is the same age as Anjali so they kept themselves occupied by playing together.   With no further ado, here they are:

lovely girls...

Got a couple sneak peeks of these 2 adorable girls for mom. I will post more after we get back from Vegas Tuesday.

Happy Mother's Day!

sneak peeks for the T family...

After having 2 boys, Alicia and Brian finally got their little girl. Meet Abby. She's turning the big ONE the end of this month. Mama wanted to get some pictures of their little girl before Abby moves out and gets married, you all know how quickly they grow.
Abby was in an awesome mood when I first got there, even saying 'cheese' before I pulled my camera out of my bag. It was great until half way thru the shoot and she decided enough was enough. I still managed to squeeze in a couple money shots though. :-) Hope you guys like them.
BTW, it was an evening shoot indoors and had to turn up the ISO, which translates to grainy pictures.
I converted most of these in B/W cuz mom LOVES B/W.

What a cutie patootie!








What a beautiful mama!




Poor thing, I think she's had enough at this point.


Grandpa and Grandma joined in on a few shots.

soon to be nurses...

Almost a year ago, I was in their shoes, trying to finish up a nursing program. It was a very demanding and difficult thing I had to go through for 2 whole years. Juggling school work, clinicals, and family was exhausting. And wow, what a relief it was to finally walk that stage to get my diploma and to pass my boards. So, I know what these guys are going through. Liza approached me a few weeks ago and asked me to take their class photo. I was excited and honored to do it. Here are a couple...thought that the first one would be appropriate to post.

my baby bubba...

Today we headed down to Old Poway Park for an early shoot, and Anjali & I got there with plenty of time before my scheduled appt that I decided take a few shots of her. All these times I've been taking pictures of other kids, I don't think I've ever taken pictures of my daughter on a railroad track. I just think it's so cool. I brought an extra outfit for her to play in, plus she demanded that she wears a dress if she was going to have her pictures taken...that's my little bargainer.










By the way, here's that dress she wanted to wear. We found a spot with a little puddle of water, and of course guess what she does next...jumps into it. Good thing that dress wasn't expensive.




Anjali has never been the type of kid that will sit there and smile for the camera, so when I see that she's in a good mood to pose I really take advantage of it. Well, here is one where she was pretending to be a dancing princess, go figure...a princess.
