Caleb and Eliana...

After my morning session with Baby Reade, I had the pleasure of taking some family pictures for my friends Bennie and Amy, and their kiddos Caleb and Eliana. It was so much fun to spend this time with them - I had the honor of being there and taking pictures when Amy gave birth to Caleb, while Bennie was on deployment serving our country. I can't believe Caleb is already four years old and has a beautiful little sister Eliana, who I must say, has quite the adorable stubborn streak in her. She was so curious about everything, she wanted nothing to do with sitting down or taking pictures. We did manage to steal a few cute shots though...

Baby Reade: Month Two

So this morning I was lucky enough to spend some quality time with one of my favorite little guys, Baby Reade. His mom and dad are two of my best friends, and I have to say, they made quite the beautiful baby. It's amazing - he always looks like a little angel, even though I hear that sometimes (usually around 2am) he is not quite so angelic. Here are a few of the pictures from today's session....

Danielle & Scott - Practicing for Perfection

Ok, so it's been quite awhile since I have updated this blog - life has been kind of crazy. I will do my best to be more diligent from here out, however...

This past Friday I had the privilege of photographing the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner of the future Mr. and Mrs. Sablan. It was a super fun event at the Estancia Hotel in La Jolla, with an adorable lipstick and mustache theme. The bride-to-be looked beautiful, and a good time was had by all.

Here are a few pictures from the event...



91 Degrees In December

As I sit in my house listening to the pouring rain, I long for the beautiful weather we had a week ago when I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon with my friend Jana and her awesome family. It was an unusually sunny afternoon and everyone looked so cute in their Christmas attire. Although she doesn't look old enough to be a Grandma, she has the cutest little grand-daughter Rylie. Her kids are pretty cute too. All in all it was a fun afternoon - here are a few of the pictures from that day.

The Oh-So Adorable Mr. Conner

So this past Sunday I finally got to take some pictures of my friends' little boy Conner. He is almost a month old, and I was anxiously awaiting the "come take pictures" call. His mom and dad are really good friends, and I know they are going to be fantastic parents. They appear in many of my photos as I also shot their engagement, wedding, and belly pictures. Although we took a bunch of family pictures of them also, all of the pics below are basically of Conner. I will most likely post some more from this session in a later blog, but I felt Conner deserves his own little display - he is so stinkin' cute!

Not-So-Sunny Saturday...

Wow, what a busy weekend! I spent this past Saturday taking pictures for Kelly and Lee in Huntington Beach. All week I prayed and prayed that the sun would come out and it wouldn't pour all day. On the drive out there, it was like I was driving through a river...Yet, as I got off the freeway, the rain stopped and it turned into an absolutely beautiful (although windy) afternoon. This change in weather was fortunate, as it gave us the opportunity to shoot both indoors and out. In addition to Lee and Kelly, I got the fun of hanging out with their two sweet dogs, Minnie and Greta. Both dogs were little hams and loved being in the pictures. Here are just a few photos from the day.

Sunday With the Spences

So this past Sunday I spent part of the afternoon with the Spence family at Balboa Park. Despite the crowds in the parking lots, the park wasn't too crowded. It was a beautiful day, and everyone, especially their two Pugs Jack and Mikey seemed to really enjoy themselves. Below are just a few pictures from the afternoon...
