Holiday Mini Sessions are COMING!!!

****BOOKED DATES/TIMES:   Sept 9th 5:45, 6:15
                                                 Nov 4th 4:00 

It seems so crazy that Fall is just around the corner... and that it is that time of year to start thinking about Holiday Cards!  I have already had a lot of inquiries about booking family shoots, so I thought "mini's" this year would be the best for everyone (me included!!!).   So, check out the dates and locations and book yours ASAP!!    I have a feeling these will go fast and once they are gone... they are GONE!   If your family consists of more than just you and your kiddos (i.e.  grandparents, etc....) please contact me and a full session can be scheduled.   I will not be doing any full sessions during the weekends, so if you have a special circumstance, let me know and we can nail down a weekday.   

A few more details.....

**Deposits are non-refundable for Holiday Mini Sessions, if you need to cancel, please give as much notice as possible and your deposit fee can be used for a future session (just not a mini session unless I have openings).  

** Due to the small time frames, it is CRUCIAL that you show up on time (plan for 5 to 10 minutes early).  I will have to be very prompt with these shoots.  So, if you are late, that is time away from your session.

** Contact me if you have questions regarding what to wear and/or if you have anything special that you want to incorporate (props, ideas welcome!!!)

** Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for your discs to be delivered

**Additional Holiday Cards can be purchased @ $30 for 25 cards double sided printed on card stock with envelopes.  

Here are a few examples of photos taken at the various locations......

Contact me with any further questions... and Merry Christmas... in July:)

The Welch Family

I am pretty sure this family could not get any cuter.... 4 gorgeous girls made by 2 beautiful people!  How blessed are they?   I had so much fun photographing this family.   Thanks Welch Family!!

beauty

Meet Lauren...not only is she gorgeous, but she is also so sweet & smart.  This girl has it all.   She looks like she could  be a model, right?   Well that is why we took these pics...  If I was an agent, I would hire her!    Wouldn't you?

 oh, and yes, the good genes run in this family... her siblings are pretty stinkin' cute too.

bonus shoot

So, a few weeks ago, I did a shoot at Leo Carrillo Ranch...I had my sister come by after with her girls (and my youngest) just to play around and take some Valentines day pics.    I have to say, my family is pretty dang cute... JUST saying!!!

and my little guy, over the photoshoot!

The DeVito Family

When I spoke to this family prior to our shoot, they said, "I hope you are ready for our little guy, he is busy."   Well I have 2 boys and I think I know what busy boys are like, so I wasn't at all phased....but then I met Jake... all 13 months old and this kid can BOOGEY!!  He is one mover and a shaker...but oh so cute!   Those bright big blue eyes, the chubby cheeks and the teething grin make him one handsome little fellow.  His parents think he is fast now, wait until he gets under those feet of his.  He will be lightening!   Thanks D fam....you were fun!

An afternoon at the Ranch

 I was super excited to take pictures at Leo Carrillo Ranch.  I had never actually been there, which is weird since I grew up down the street.  I was also really excited to capture this family.  I was in their wedding 10 years ago, and today they are still as gorgeous of a couple as always...except they now have two boys that make their family complete.    Getting a 2 year old and a 3 month old to cooperate is challenging, but I love the candid moments of the boys pouting & crying while the Mom & Dad laugh it off.   Just a day in the life with 2 small boys... I totally get it!
