It’s that time of year! I get to see all of my favorite families who come back to see me year after year. It’s really one of my favorite things about my job – watching these families grow and change. This session was fun…it feels so much like Fall to me. Even though it’s been like 100 degrees this week. This day was cool and we barely made it before the rain. We actually had to run and take cover once or twice. This little one has the cutest red hair and the bluest eyes. She’s such a beauty!

These were taken at the San Juan Mission and I am so in LOVE!!!! The landscaping is so beautiful and the mission has so much texture and great light for portraits. If you’d like a great spot for a family session this is it!  By the way, this gal is one of my favorite people, she owns Pure Pilates and she kicks my butt into shape and keeps me on my toes. If you want a great workout, you should try it out! 

Just look at how cute this little guy is! Doesn’t he look scrumptious?

First, let me clarify…I am NOT a wedding photographer. I don’t claim to be and I don’t normally shoot weddings. This wedding was an exception! This is the daughter of one of my dearest friends in the whole world and I would do anything for her…thus, I did photograph her daughter’s wedding. I actually enjoyed it! Weddings are a whole different ballgame than what I normally do. What I really enjoyed about this day was being a part of a day that meant so much to this family. I guess I just love what I do!

There’s a bunch of images here, sorry for the long post…you can view their slideshow here.

Here’s a sweet one. He was so sleepy…

Have a great weekend everyone!

I have done so many family shoots lately! It’s that time of year I guess. This one was a family that won a silent auction at my son’s school. I love supporting local schools and charities, it’s a great way for me to give back to the community and get to know more people. Anyway, these boys were a bit tough to get loosened up at first, but once we got going I think they’d admit that it was pretty fun.

This little guy was so sweet. I just loved him!!!!

This is my favorite time of year because I get to see all of my favorite clients! All of my repeat clients seem to come in the fall, just in time for holiday portraits. This little girl was one of my very first clients and it has been so neat to watch her grow up. She now even has a little sister. This first one is a storyboard of her running in the park. These images are going to be so perfect for the holidays.

This was a recent family shoot in studio. I’m just playing around with some different sepia treatments. What do you think?

I have had the privilege of photographing these beautiful children several times now. They just keep getting more adorable each time I see them. This time I was lucky to get to shoot the whole family at the park. The kids were great and and I love how natural and happy everyone looks in these images.
