B/P/O Family Session – Sneak Peek

I got the chance to try out my photography skills on my friend Katie and her sister Aimee’s newborns a few months back. I knew I would love newborn photography and Megan and Kyle will always hold a special place in my heart. They were my first 2 newborns and gave me the opportunity to do the type of photography I had always wanted to do. When they contacted me to see if I would be interested in doing a family session for Holiday photos I was more than happy to do so. They welcomed me into their parent’s home and we did a shoot right in the backyard. It was a beautiful property and I wish we had gotten to take advantage of more of it. Thank you so much guys, I hope you all love the outcome and I’d love the chance to document your kiddos as they grow. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Q Family Session – Sneak Peek

You probably recognize this little cutie from my last post. After we did Abbie’s smash cake session we headed to the park for a family session. We had planned to do the family session the week before, but the weather had other ideas. Luckily Abbie & Connor did just fine and didn’t mind the extra time it took to fit two sessions into one day. We had a lot of fun and captured some great memories. I really hope to see more of this beautiful family in the future. Thanks so much for spending the afternoon with me Sheila & James. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Smash Cake - Abbie Sneak Peek

I've been looking forward to my first smash cake session for quite some time now. For those who aren't familiar with this, it's a session for a 1 year old where I photograph them in my studio enjoying their first cake... and well... smashing it! :) I had the pleasure of photographing Abbie on her actual birthday. She was such a sweetie and was so good. She was a little scared of me at first, but warmed up to me after a bit and we had a lot of fun. She wasn't too sure of her cake and didn't like getting dirty, so once she got a little messy she was pretty much done. I definitely love this age, and can't wait to do more. Happy 1st Birthday Abbie!!!

And because I couldn't resist... a storyboard with some of my favorites from the session!

Sneak Peek - The A Family

I just got done doing a family session for some of our friends from church. They are such a gorgeous family and I'm so lucky to have them in my portfolio. They were up for anything so we were able to get some fun creative stuff (well as much as you can get when you're trying to get a 2 year old to participate.) We headed to the lake and I had a great time running around with the boys and capturing them being themselves. Thanks so much for spending the afternoon with me Jeff & Lyn. I can't wait to hear what you think!

Now Offering: Storyboards

I have now started to offer custom mounted storyboards and larger wall hangings. They are available in a variety of sizes and can be mounted on foamboard, masonite, standout, or even canvas. Here are a few quick samples I put together from some recent sessions. If you are interested in a product that wasn't available at the time of your session I am more than willing to create one, so please contact me for info.

Sneak Peek – Elizabeth & Rebecca

I got the opportunity to do my first family photoshoot on location. Our friends from college came down and I got to photograph their beautiful 2 ½ and 1 year old daughters Elizabeth and Rebecca. They were so adorable with the most gorgeous blue eyes ever. We started out in the studio and then went to a park to get some outdoor family shots. We had a lot of fun and I think I got some great photos for them to remember their family at this point in their lives. I also captured what little bit of fall we actually get here in San Diego which was such a pleasure. I hope you enjoy these Karen & Isaac!

Newborn Sneak Peek – Baby Abbi

This past weekend I got the opportunity to photograph our friends new baby girl Abbi. She was just 5 days old and so adorable. Her big sister Evelynn is such a sweetie and although she didn’t want to have her picture taken, we were able to convince her to get a few pictures with her sister. It was such a pleasure being able to capture little Abbi at her tiniest and I hope you guys love everything we captured. Thanks so much for the opportunity Joe & Stephanie!

Sneak Peek – Newborn Baby Jack

I got a referral from the friend of a family member who saw my last newborn shoot. They were such a sweet family, and baby Jack was just 2 weeks old and so adorable. What is it with the 2nd children that just lay there and act perfect? He never made a single sound, and although he didn’t want to sleep at all he was so great. I got lucky that he shut his eyes for about 1 minute at the end of the session, which gave me a few sleepy looking shots that are just perfect. Enjoy the sneak peek Kristen & Justin!
