The Herfindahl’s did their on-location portrait session at Balboa Park and we had fun! The kids lasted much longer then we thought they would, but aren’t they so cute? You think one toddler is hard to photograph? Try two But, I love how they came out!

I can’t wait to post pictures of their custom frames they ordered! Ashley is an awesome chiropractor here in San Diego who has helped me be able to function and I am SO thankful! The San Diego Neck and Back Pain Relief Center is at 619-295-3885 and I HIGHLY recommend them!

Thanks guys!

See you guys there!

TODAY! Our grand opening! If you are on the newsletter list you heard about it a while ago, or on facebook… but not sure why I haven’t posted here! Anyway come see us TODAY… 4711 Third St, La Mesa 91941 between 12-6pm. We have appetizers and drinks along with some fun items you can win like a gift certificate from Timeless Salon and Day Spa, a complimentary massage from Massage Mastery and a free month from Gymboree just to mention a few! Everyone that comes and signs in receives something fun from us, along with the chance to win a free session

Come introduce yourself and see the new pad…

619-466-9918 if you have questions!

That’s right! We are all moved in! The studio is AWESOME! I am a busy bee and haven’t had a chance to post professional pictures yet…you are welcome to give us a call at 619-466-9918 and schedule a time to come by!

Note that we call it our “studio” but in reality it’s just the super awesome meeting space and office. Since we shoot all on-location there won’t really be shooting going on there. Although, we are contemplating doing some in-studio sessions and trying something “new” but our specialty is definitely on-location photography.

Here’s our address:

4711 Third St.

La Mesa, CA 91941

Note that we are open by appointment (but try to be there during business hours)

Keep an eye out for our open house!

We are getting a STUDIO! OUTSIDE our home office! YES!
We will be located in downtown La Mesa and hope to have the grand opening mid November. Sessions will still be on-location, but we will be able to do newborns and possibly boudoirs there. Expect some REALLY cool options such as mini sessions monthly, new (more affordable) custom framing, and a very cool high end office you will HAVE to come see! More details coming soon!

Have you scheduled your holiday session yet? The schedule is booking up quickly!
