Birth Photography 201, and I am absolutely loving this . . . the task of noticing and capturing the details of the moments surrounding a child’s very first breath . . . the day that changes a family forever.
I’ve been wanting to photograph this gorgeous, curly-haired family for a while, and I was so excited to do some child and mommy-child portraits at Crystal Pier. It’s fun to sometimes incorporate special favorites of the moment into photo sessions, to remind us exactly what our kids were “into” at the time of the session. A favorite doll is also a great way to get some smiles out of camera-shy kiddos. 🙂
I have had the pleasure of photographing this handsome little boy three times, now! His newborn session seems like it was just yesterday . . . but apparently it has been a whole year. Time flies!

I like to schedule my sessions at a very specific time and at my very favorite beaches and, well . . . that couldn’t happen this time. I was scared!! Fortunately, all was well, as the client family was beautiful, the baby was happy, and my contingency plan was effective! I love how these images turned out!
This was a sweet family who needed a family photo update and also some senior portraits for their eldest daughter. The Hotel del Coronado provided the perfect backdrop.
This was a very fun family to meet, simply because I have spoken and emailed with them many times before, without actually having faces to put to the name! Marion’s Childcare clients are so much fun to photograph!

This session from last summer took me by surprise! I knew Zachary, the youngest boy, had been born with a serious heart defect, and I expected someone a bit more “delicate” than the rambunctious little guy who raced around the beach like any typical five-year-old!
All this green! These photos from last year reminded me how we could sure use some rain around here soon! I was looking back through archives and realized I hadn’t
My adorable nieces turned seven this month, and they had the party of their dreams! There were My Little Ponies as far as the eye could see! It was a
This Ohio couple arrived in San Diego just a few hours before our session, and they were greeted by some beautiful weather, just as advertised. They ended up freezing cold
My first blog post of 2014, and I am feeling refreshed and enthusiastic about the new year . . . thanks in great part to a wonderful women’s retreat that
