Amanda’s extended family came from Illinois for a reunion-style vacation on the beach in La Jolla. They met me at Crystal Pier, and we wrangled their four tots both in and out of the water. I loved their styling and fun personalities!
When San Diego local Angela contacted me to do her traditional yearly photo shoot with her son, I loved her idea of a surf session featuring the California duo! Windansea Beach had a beautiful low tide, and the surf shack added a little Aloha fun to the images. It was great to meet you, Angela!
Riley and I met up at Kate Sessions Park in La Jolla for our turf-and-surf session earlier this year. From there, we drove down to Windansea Beach. This Rancho Bernardo High School grad strutted her school spirit, plus two casual outfits and the quintessential white dress. I loved meeting Riley and her family. Congratulations on your graduation!
Tammy and Jeff brought their whole family to the Hotel Del last month, including four children, ages four, two, one, and two months! With a cast list like that, you know you may have to work a little magic . . . and magic was definitely worked! Even though the toddler emotions were all over the place, especially right at sunset and on the beach (sensory overload, much?), a little parental persistence and a few scene changes did the trick! These precious baby faces were worth the effort, and I look forward to seeing this crew again sometime, as they grow!
Rachel is a patriotic girl, and she and her mom requested some American flag photos as part of her gallery. They traveled for her senior session at Crystal Pier, and it was especially important to them as her great-grandmother was ailing and had sent them on a mission to go and get these photos done. Congratulations on your graduation, Rachel, and happy Fourth of July!
I really love shooting at the University of San Diego, and having a beautiful model like Kenni makes it even more fun! We started early and got some architectural campus photos before heading down to the beach for iconic San Diego shoreline images.
Ashley and Michelle are excited to be graduating from the University of San Diego with their Master’s degrees in the counseling and psychology field. They brought their significant others along to help celebrate their accomplishments.
Avery is headed off to Luther College this fall after enjoying a very successful career at Valhalla High School, where she was a celebrated flautist and drum major in the marching band. We took a grand tour of San Diego for her photos and appreciated both of my favorite beaches (Coronado and Pacific Beach at Crystal Pier) since Avery will be missing the coast while she’s away. She’ll also be missing her little dog, so we got some pictures of him, too!
My daughter Lissa and her boyfriend Taylor are home from school for the summer, and we headed down to Little Italy to capture some fun dating photos in my favorite urban location. These two have known each other since they were FOUR and have gone to preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school together. This last year as sophomores at Cal Baptist, they leveled up their friendship.
Shelby brought her crew all the way from Wisconsin to the Del to celebrate two birthdays: her own and baby Kishke’s! I was immediately impressed by her children’s joyful, obedient spirits. All four of them were ready to do exactly what I asked—with enthusiasm!—and none of these little ones had any problem with going in the water. In fact, they couldn’t get enough of it and were drenched to the waist by the end of the session. My favorite was when they asked their mom, at the end, “Can we do this tomorrow?” I’m up for it!
My grandfather was a cabinet-maker, and I have memories of visiting San Diego Hardware in Downtown San Diego as a small child, when I was “helping” him with his projects. A long time passed, and then, just a few years ago when I was redoing my kitchen, designer Joy Elben sent me to the new store in Kearny Mesa to check out pulls for my cabinets. I knew right where to go when Heather, the owner, called for company headshots at the store.
San Diego Hardware is the oldest family-owned business in San Diego, with unmatched hardware expertise and one-on-one customer service. In March of 2006, after 114 years of business downtown, San Diego Hardware relocated to its new store in the Kearny Mesa area of San Diego. Heather called me for headshots of the staff, including adorable mascot pup Coconut!
