I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! My husband and I went to visit his family and I have more pictures to post but I have been so busy getting ready for the photographer seminar coming up it has passed by every day!

Here’s to you having a wonderful new years and be safe!

We are unavailable from Saturday the 22nd till December 26th. We are available via email and will be checking messages. If it is urgent please email rather then call as we will get that faster.

“….and a merry christmas to your family…….” -RENT

You will notice on one of my pages the picture of the little cutie in the ball pit with the big blue eyes. Now, he’s a big kid with a little sister! I shot some pictures of them a few weeks ago and just got around to posting. These were in Beverly Hills.

Due to privacy, I will not state the family or children’s names. This was at Woodglen Vista Park in Santee. These kids were too fun! The group shots were a bit tricky but with the help of photoshop and taking MANY shots, mission was accomplished.

Just an update on scheduling for the studio:
The deadline has past for sessions needing holiday cards & prints. Sessions can still be scheduled, however, no prints can be ordered in time for Christmas at this point.
We are not scheduling sessions for the weekend before Christmas up till the 26th. Then again from New years eve till the 2nd. We are available on the phone at any time for scheduling or questions… or just to say hello and happy holidays

January schedule:
We will be out of town from January 3, 2008 (EVENING) till Jan. 8th. I am going to a photography seminar & trade show in Florida! This is super exciting… all the new things I am going to learn to make my work even BETTER for all of you!
That 1st weekend back is the boudoir weekend!
This is the time to get your valentines day sessions completed. It’s coming pretty quick I know!
I will then be out again from Jan. 31-Feb. 5. Then it’s only a few days till Valentines day and orders will continue to poor in at the last minute. So please keep this in mind when scheduling.

Babies 1st year of portraits:
I have arranged 5 package options for your maternity, newborn and monthly pictures. They range from every month all the way to 3x a year (newborn, 6 mo, 12 mo). Please email about information.

Studio changes:
Please note we are no longer doing online viewing. The only time we will do this is if the client requests & pays a small fee for it and also for our out of town clients. We are in the middle of remodeling the studio (sorry for appointments that have been pushed out because of it) to add a large tv so you can come here and view your prints and order here. Sorry about any inconvenience this has caused. We also are fading out buying a cd of pictures. They are still available but we are not including them in any packages.

A step out of business—we had a small Hanukkah party at my dads with our cousins from the bay area. Sadly we only get to see them once a year. My nieces had fun playing with the girls!

It’s official! We have a hotel, date, cost, and some spots filling up quickly!
I am scheduling Saturday first as if that gets booked out then I will add Sunday. January 12th, 2008 is the date for Saturday. We have a makeup artist and hotel suite. The sessions will start at 11am and be in every 1.5 hour increments.
This is going to be SO amazing so book now! This is the perfect valentines gift—professional photography session in a beautiful San Diego hotel room. The only people in the room are you and me. The makeup artist and other client getting make up done will be in a separate room.
Also, you are asked to bring along a fun CD to relax you!

I have been getting a lot of emails & calls about the boudoir sessions. I am scheduling a day of sessions at a hotel in town. The cost will include a wonderful make-up artist, a session in a hotel room with a wonderful and talented photographer, and a 5″x5″ 12 page lab printed album for your loved one. You also receive a viewing session at my studio to decide which prints you want in your album and order any additional prints.
If you are interested in Saturday, January 12th or Sunday January 13th, PLEASE email me ASAP as I know these will fill up FAST.

The rate hasn’t been determined yet, but it will most likely be about $250-300 for your session & album.

Please note… these sessions are not porn. You will be photographed in a tasteful manner and poses will revolve around your comfort level. You are urged to bring lingerie (up to 2 changes), something special of your lovers (a tie, hat, etc) and some music to get you relaxed.

These little ones are the daughter of my hair stylist Vanessa… (Timeless Salon & Day Spa 619-265-4541)…This is the 1st time I’ve photographed them since Antoinette was a few months old! We had fun and what ham’s they are! Their puppy also enjoyed his picture being taken (we will assume that)
