Photo Shoot Party ♥ San Diego Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to have some fun and photograph some beautiful girls!  In conjunction with Karien Bennett of The Club for Me, I hosted a Photo Shoot Party where we talked about how to take fun and fabulous pictures and we ate cake too!  The girls were so much fun and we had a great time!  Here are some of the shots from the day.  :)

Maternity Portraits ♥ Megan ♥ San Diego Photographer

So, I've been trying for weeks to narrow these down to just a "few" of my favorites and here they are... all THIRTEEN of them!  I know... I know... but I love them ALL!  This is actually the second time that I've photographed Megan during her pregnancy.  My first opportunity came when I was Megan's OpLove photographer (www.oplove.org) and we did some maternity portraits to send to her hubby Randy while he was overseas serving in the Marine Corps.

I was so happy that they decided to come back in as a couple when he returned and cannot wait for this little one to be born so I can photograph them all together!

 

CH-CH-CH-CHANGES! ♥ San Diego Photographer

All GOOD changes though with lots more to look forward to!

First I want to clarify something... I DID NOT MOVE THE STUDIO!  I am still located at 2870 Fifth Avenue, Suite 201 in San Diego.  All that I did do was move the office side of the business back to my home office.  I did this mainly for family reasons but also because I feel it's a more productive environment for me.  So, to further prove I'm still in the same place I finally have a SIGN!  WOO HOO!  I'm so excited!  The sign is beautiful and I ♥ it! (See pictures below)

I'm working on an exciting contest for September so be sure and stay tuned for that.  Also, by mid September I'll be announcing the Holiday Event information for this year.  I'm working really hard to do some 'different' things this year so keep your fingers crossed that I can pull it all off.  It might require a leap of faith on your part because I won't have any sample pictures to show you since I've never done this kind of thing before.  CURIOUS??? Good!  

There is lots more to share but I'll save some for later!

Oh Baby! ♥ San Diego Maternity & Newborn Photographer

I have been having the most awesome maternity clients lately... totally up for everything!  This is Kelsy & Max and they are waiting for their new little boy to arrive next month.  I ♥ these first ones of them... Kelsy looks like a model!  Thanks you guys for being so much fun to photograph!

Stay tuned to the blog!  I have lots to post this week.  The kids are on their way back to school, the influx of visitors has slowed and so now it's time to get back to work!  I can't believe I'm saying this but we need to start talking about the holidays soon!  I'm working hard to try and do some cool new things this year!

 

Checking my twitter and facebook feeds.

Just seeing if I can get all this fabulous technology to work!

Fun in the Sun! ♥ San Diego Family Photographer

I had the opportunity to photograph the delightful Starnes family from Kansas this summer!  We met out at the beach in Coronado for a fun session just as the sun was setting.  BEAUTIFUL LIGHT and beautiful family!  They were a blast too!  They LOVE the movie "National Lampoon's Vacation" and totally themed their drive across country.  It is so cool to meet people who love fun that much.   do something fun to show you all their portraits!  

Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your "VACATION".
