It isn’t often enough that I photograph kids older than two so this was a cool change of pace. Enjoy your sneak peek, Carlie!





I couldn’t decide which one to post so I will just post them both.

Her “best friend” is the ceiling fan. I had to test this theory and yes, the fan is her best friend.

Always a ham…Big sister.


Hey folks. I am still playing catch up around here..I only have one to share today but I figured it was better than nothing.
This little guy didn’t want anything to do with that hat but I just loved the way his sweet ittle round face looked in it.

My favorite pictures are those that do not need an explanation and this shoot was full of them. My friend Kristin Rachelle (also a San Diego photographer) asked me to photograph her family and if you have met Kristin you will know that she is a blast so I couldn’t resist the opportunity! There are lots of “say cheese” moments in this shoot but of course I picked the funny/wacky ones because that’s just how I am.


My favorite red staircase.









”They’re made of ribbons and butterfly kisses and wonder at Christmas and birthday wishes and a heap of giggles and wiggles and love; these are the things little girls are made of.”
Sweet Ella is about to celebrate her first birthday. Ella and family are from the bay area and wanted to have some pictures taken before she goes and grows up on them.
Believe me, I know the feeling.
As requested here is some info:
Shot using a Canon 40D, Lenses used 24-70 2.8L and 50mm 1.4, all shot between 1.4 and 2.8, ISO 200-600

I have gotten a couple of emails asking where I shot the “field” pictures. This shot was taken in front of a teeeny patch of grass in a shopping center where I live. I wish I could find a huge field of the stuff..if you know where one is let me know.




I had the pleasure of shooting 10yr old Ally on Thursday…soooo cute.
Doesn’t she look like the next Lindsay Lohan? You know, like Lindsay in her Parent Trap days…no so much anymore..Don’t even get me started…
Anyhow, the spiders and thorns were worth it I am loving these shots and Ally was up for anything!
Nancy, enjoy your sneak peek..Sorry it took so long!




She lost a tooth 2 days before the shoot hehehe.

Meet Jude
Last week my daughter came home from school asking to buy a present for one of her classmates. My first thought was that there was yet another birthday party to attend, but my daughter explained that this was actually for a child who would be leaving school on the first of May to have his 4th Open Heart Surgery. (She has such a big heart) My first reaction was to offer this child’s family a free shoot. Jude’s teacher was able to put me in contact with his family and we scheduled a time. Shooting this kid was just so much fun, he’s an amazing child and his presence lit up the room!
Please take the time to keep this brave little guy in your thoughts, I know his family would be so grateful.
