Sneak Peek | Ragan {Fallbrook Maternity Photographer}

I just love my clients! The E. Family are always so much fun to work with! This time we decided to shoot in a favorite park in Fallbrook. Thank you guys for putting up with some serious bugs! AND tromping through the crazy plants. You guys are awesome! I can't wait to meet the new little girl!

Sneak Peek | Dillon {San Diego Baby Photographer}

Lovely little Dillon. Well, not really "little"...he's a big boy. Full of laughs and so squishy-ishy all over I just can't get enough! At seven months he already has 2 teeth with more on the way, has been crawling for weeks, pulls himself up and will be walking in no time! This kid is on the move. Mom has her hands full!

Rancho Guajome Adobe | Sweet Photo Shoot Location

The Rancho Guajome Adobe offers an amazing variety of spots to capture your high school portraits, maternity portraits, or family portraits. There are wonderful vignettes, historical adobe buildings and gorgeous landscapes all at one location! This is one of my top picks for your next photo session. =)

Sneak Peek | Sydney {San Diego Child Photographer}

The lovely Sydney was so much fun to work with, and what a sport she was about laying in the prickly-poky twigs and tromping through spiderweb infested ice plant! Although the sun decided to hide behind the lovely marine layer way too early, we managed to shoot until it was nearly dark! Thanks Syd for being such a trooper!

The POSH Book & CD Case {San Diego High School Senior Photographer}

This seriously is one of my favorite book designs that I've ever done. It's absolutely perfect for High School Seniors. When I got this book & matching CD I couldn't wait to take some pics and show it off. I know my clients will be super impressed with this book and CD case!

New Product | Custom Frames {San Diego Photographer}

Here is a sample of the new frames that I now offer! These gorgeous frames are completely custom and very unique! I have held off from offering frames to my clients because I've never found a frame company that offers such unique products as these!

Sneak Peek | Going on....SEVEN! {San Diego Maternity Photographer}

Yes, you read right...this lovely lady is pregnant with her 7th! A BOY! Her and her 6 gorgeous children were so much fun to work with! Amazing is all I can say. =)

Sneak Peek | Little Lola {San Diego Newborn Photographer}

T

After photographing this lovely family a couple years ago after the birth of their son, they were back again with their sweet little girl. What a beautiful family! Little Lola decided that on her 10th day of life (after apparently sleeping through the first 9) she wanted to be WIDE awake! But after an hour or so of shooting, she finally drifted off to sleep. And when I say sleep, I mean a serious, deep, deep sleep. =) What a little doll...she let me move her around, position her just so, and change set ups quite a number of times. Thank you C. Family. Like always, you were a pleasure to work with.

Amazing New Products!! | Image Boxes

I am absolutely in love with these new image boxes that I'm now offering! The outside of the box is completely custom and is offered as an image wrap (shown) or with a variety of different fabric and leather covers. They come in 4x6 or 5x7 and hold the proofs of all the images from your session. This is the first of many new products to come...stay tuned!
