Today I photographed the winner of the free session contest– the Kerby Family! We had a blast. Here is a sneak peek of the cuteness…. more coming soon!

I can’t believe time has flown so quickly that little Liam & Juliet– whom I photographed in the NICU when they were born, then their newborn session where they BOTH fit in my little cocoon, and their 6 month session where Juliet seemed to throw up all over the place (such a trooper she was!)… they are officially a year old! (well now a little older due to blog post timing…) but anyway… time sure flies quick! I love this family… we get to catch up on events in our lives when we see each other or on facebook….big sister Abby has fun getting her picture taken by me and she’s become quite a ham!)

I absolutely love watching my clients grow as families, watching them have more kids, watching the kids grow (as I photograph them) and becoming a part of peoples families.

Seriously– I love my job

Their personalities just shine here….

Gotta love the nakie babies on rugs

<my interpretation of the next two pictures:>

Juliet: Listen to me Liam… I’m telling you… Hillary is the coolest…

Liam: Whut up with her? She’s not so cool….

<next image>

Jules: Don’t talk about Hillary like that Liam!!! I’ll show YOU!

I have photographed miss Addy a few times now and I swear every time I photograph her she gets cuter and cuter! I photographed her for her 2nd birthday and all she wanted to do was dance– I wish I was recording it–pictures don’t do it justice! These were shot in my studio in La Mesa

Happy birthday, Addy!

How adorable is Noah?! He’s all ready for school! Careful Noah– all the girls on the playground are going to chase after you cutie pie!

I have partnered up with the o-so-fabulous Danbury Lane on Etsy (and a San Diego favorite) who I must say, has some of *the* best tutu’s for children! I have used her tutu’s in most of my childrens sessions and love the quality, fullness and finishing touches Rebekah puts into them!

So we thought, how about offering a few FREE tutu’s to my clients?

You have two options… one option is if you book me for a session by September 30th, you will receive a free tutu of your choice from her. The tutu MUST be used in your session!

The other option is you can purchase a tutu from her starting today and you will receive 10% off your session with me (consultation must be scheduled by September 30th).

Take a look around her etsy store and then contact one of us for more details!

I should say 7 months because we were a little late in doing Charlies 6 month session but her cuteness makes up for it.  Everytime I photograph this little girl I get more and more baby fever! We went down and did their on-location session in Balboa Park and she was such a good girl since we had to wake her from her nap to photograph her! The tutu is from Danbury Lane (if you would like one for your session, please keep an eye on the newsletter and facebook page… a cool promo is coming!)

Here’s the cuteness! I’m excited for her 12 month session end of the year!

I have a super awesome amazing landlord for my studio…. she bought little Eva’s mom & dad a gift certificate for a portrait session when Eva was born and I was told how beautiful this baby was… she wasn’t kidding! Eva just chilled for me and made my job so easy! I mean she just looked at me with these big beautiful eyes and threw out these huge smiles! Mom & dad did great too I can’t wait for them to see their images in their custom fine art album… it’ll be so beautiful! These images were all done at my studio in downtown La Mesa!

Thanks guys!

Normally I do all my sneak peek’s through my facebook fanpage, but today I am doing this one through the blog… I can’t resist! How stinkin cute is he?! I can’t wait to post more.. he’s too adorable

I know… they seriously just got out of school it seems (although many of you moms might be counting down the days until they head back to school…) but here in San Diego–kids go back to school around the end of August… that’s around the corner! You know those boring school portraits you get at school? Why not do a fun back to school session where you will receive special discounted mini-session pricing and (2) 5×7 prints? It’s way cute for those kidlets starting kindergarten too! The cost is $75+tax (normally that’s the cost for prints!) and you must pay $20 of the session fee when reserving your spot.

Please keep in mind this is geared toward kids 3 1/2ish- 10ish. Each additional child is $15. Sessions are best done as a single subject.

So reserve your spot for the mini sessions on August 15th before it fills up… and remember to bring your childs backpack & lunch box!

My niece, Maddie came to visit this week and I was so exited to do some shots of her in my studio in downtown La Mesa! Of course my parents wanted some pictures of her and also my little Lilly. I can’t believe Maddie is turning 7 next week… it feels like she was just born!

I can’t wait until my older niece comes to visit at the end of the month and I get to do more pictures of the three girls together!

PS… the girls are wearing their new Stella and Dot headbands from the little girls line! Aren’t they so cute?!!
