He's A Senior

Here is a sneak preview from the weekends Senior photos.  All I can say is, I am so glad that the style of 'senior portraits' has changed.  This was a lot of fun & I'm pretty convinced this kid will end up doing big things!!

more weekend fun & sneak peeks!

Another great weekend full of photo sessions!  I think what I love most, outside of just really enjoying being a photographer and the creative process, is getting to know the families that I get to share that time with.  Kids and adults alike, I truly love the challenge of capturing someones personality, spirit & the chemistry that the family shares!

picture perfect

it's been so hard to keep the blog up to date during Christmas card season....but here is a little glimpse of this beautiful family i had the pleasure of capturing this past weekend...

It's beginning to look a lot like photo season!

It's that time of year again.  ...have you seen all the Christmas decorations in all the stores?  Whether it's getting pic's in time for the holidays or celebrating a new addition to the family...or just because it's been too long, you can never have too many family photos!!

. . . what can i say , some people just know what

Tiny Princess

This tiny princess was a perfect subject.

She lasted through wardrobe changes, hair bows and props . . .

and with a quick power nap was ready for more.

She was precious . . . and mom and dad were pretty proud !

pure joy

. . . a moment of calm . . .

. . . not sure this will make the Christmas card , but it is one of my favorites . . .

I just love it !

I'm not sure there is a better place for two brothers than

spending time climbing a cool tree . . . and there just

might be a photographer there to catch some pic's.

This family was such a joy to have in front of the lens.

They were all full of pure joy . . . and working with them

was a great way to start my day.

rising star

you will probably be seeing this adorable little face

gracing the cover of catalogs very soon.

she was amazing to work with, and any photographer

would love her as their subject . . . and i did !

keep an eye out for her . . . she is signing this week

with a top kids talent agency in San Francisco !
