The S Family

I met Michelle years ago....  it was pre-Facebook days, the days where you had "forums" and you chatted online!    We met via a San Diego Newlywed board, (yes sounds dorky, but it wasn't).   We chatted about our pregnancies, kids, work, and just life!   Fast forward about 7 years and here we are.. in a field,  capturing her beautiful family.   I feel so honored that she asked ME to document this time in their lives.  Thanks Michelle!   I hope to be a part of many more of your families memories in the future.   ENJOY

The Aldrich Family

This field has become quite popular for pics!   It is hard to stray away when you know the light will yield these gorgeous sunny warm images.   Of course this family was incredibly fun and made my job easy.    I honestly could not get enough of these kids!   They were so much fun...and what is about 6 year old girls that just ham it up in front of the camera?  sheesh...
ENJOY!

Here comes BABY

Meet Brandt & Michelle and their beautiful baby bump.    Seriously, I had such a hard time going through these pics.....only because I couldn't choose which ones to keep!   They were all so stunning!   I always think the first pregnancy of a couple is something so special.   I am so excited for them to welcome their baby boy in September. Congrats you two.. and thanks for making me look good:)

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......

 Ranch

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

Brooklynn turns ONE

This little cutie turned ONE just a week after our shoot....and what a sweet little girl.   It always amazes me how we can pull off a shoot with a toddler.   I say WE because it is a group effort!!   Mom & Dad and whoever else that may be walking by during the shoot will be trying to get these kiddos to smile and laugh.. and yes, there is crying!  I mean, would you want to be shoved into a wagon tied with balloons?  I didn't think so.     All in all...Brooklynn was a trooper...and so were her parents.
We had FUN!
