Miss Sienna from San Louis Obispo, CA!

I got together with Sue Merrill, her daughter Stacy and Sienna who is now 15 months. It was a warm one at Balboa Park yet Sienna was feeling fabulous. We rode the carousel together and got dizzy and strolled around the park making Sienna laugh and BOY did she do a great job!









This is one of my favorites!







Thank you Sue, Sienna and Stacey!! I had so much fun with you three!

Hebler Family comes to San Diego!

The Hebler Family is from El Paso, Texas and I had the opportunity to capture their family at Hotel Del, Coronado while they vacationed in San Diego.

Here is Jonathon and Isabella exploring the beach together.

Falb Family comes to San Diego!

I've had the pleasure of photographing this group now for 2 years. I LOVE them all and had a nice evening with them at Hotel Del in Coronado.

Miss Molly Ann from Bloomfield, NJ!

Seeing little one's is always a great way to give me perspective on time. During my trip across the country, I stopped by my cousin's house in New Jersey to visit and see the cutest little one I know, Miss Molly Ann. It's been two whole years since I've seen her and the rest of my family in New Jersey. That's just far too long! Miss Molly is just the best and it was pretty amazing to see how much she's grown!

We made up for lost time pretty fast.



She LOVES my cousin Valerie's sporty car.



And going for walks with her mom.

Hudson Falb Turn 1 !!

This little man has grown so fast!!
I photographed Hudson when he was a month old last May with his Mom and Dad at their home. Precious little man with two really amazing parents.



Last weekend, I had the honor of capturing Hudson enjoy a party to celebrate his 1st Birthday. I'm showing the best sweet part of the day. His Mom and Dad let him go to town on his very own cake.




Happy Birthday Hudson!!

Life is Good!!

In my work, I have the opportunity to capture different stages of people's lives. I've been photographing twin boys now for almost a year. I spent a few hours with them the other day and it's amazing how quickly I'm reminded, being around little one's, that nothing, no matter how big of a deal you make it, is ever that big of a deal.

Simplicity. Laughter. Joy. Peace. I find here.




Sneak peak. I can't help but smile and laugh at these two photographs.

Kelly + her girls

Kelly is a new friend in my life. She's a fellow east coaster and she has two daughters and this is their very first family portrait.

Meet Vaughn who I like to call Vaughnie. Little character!!


And Chase who is one of the politest teenagers I've ever met in my life.



I had a great time photographing these three together. Perfect example of why I do what I do!






Thanks ladies!!

Burnett Family

I have had the pleasure of photographing the Burnett family for 4 years now. Seeing them once a year always puts growth into prospective for me. Kind of shocking to see these little men grow up. This year the latest and greatest addition is baby Memphis. Jeena and Chester received their wish of a baby girl.

Sometimes sessions begin with this emotion:


I mean it's not easy being 2.5 and having to perform something fabulous in front of a camera yet once we had a little warm up time and I had a chance to make a fool of myself we broke the ice and got this. *I just wanted the sucker*

Mr. Gage.


Miss Tessa brought the sassy shyness and then let it rip & got really really excited when she found some rocks. My kind of kid. :)




Keyan is such a little ham. He used to dislike the camera but now he's looking for where the lens is and he puts it on pretty good when it's on him.



Momma Jeena & her wish. . . .



After about an hour session, Miss Memphis joined us for a bit. . .



Thank you Jeena for being a great momma and a wonderful family to work with!!
