My baby girl turned 2 years old yesterday!!! It has been raining like crazy this week, so the poor kid had a wet Birthday. I think I need to get her a cuter rain coat though, she borrowed that one from her brother. Happy Birthday Ava!!

Happy Holidays everyone!! I have had so many shoots in the past couple weeks! Here is only a small taste of what I have been up to!

The Vollmer girls:

The Palmer family:

The Magill family:

The Larsen family:

2009 was a great year full of new adventures and wonderful possibilities! I am excited for what 2010 brings! =)

The Avant’s are the cutest little family. Their little girl Evie, was the most patient and easy going one year old I have ever photographed! She was such a doll! Here are some of my favorite shots from their session.

I love this!:

I am a couple sessions behind on my blogging ( life has been crazy lately) , but with Halloween right around the corner I wanted to put these up. My friend Kristen really wanted to do some Halloween pictures of her boys in their costumes. I knew downtown San Diego would be the perfect place to shoot these little super heros!! 

One of my favorites!! :

I met up with the Liera family a couple weeks ago. They haven’t had family pictures taken since I did them more than 2 years ago!! They have the cutest girls, which were very cooperative for the shoot! These are some of my fav’s. :

Look at those rolls! So adorable! 

I think this one would be so great as a big canvas!:

Kendall is the ultimate beautiful Southern California girl! She is also just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out! I had a BLAST shooting her Senior pictures. 

Thanks for the laughs girl! =)

Last week I had the oppertunity to go to a local photographers meet up and hear Becker ( an OC wedding photographer) speak. He talked about the passion of photography and showed a lot of pictures he had taken just for himself. I am really glad I went and really appreciated his talk. As a photographer and mother of two, I sometimes forget to take photographs just for myself. Just because I love the ART of Photography.

On that same note I was chatting with a friend ( a couple months ago) while walking around my neighborhood.  I was telling her how where I live, is so different from any other part of San Diego I have lived before. In that conversation she mentioned to me that I should take some pictures that represented my neighborhood. I thought it was a cool idea but never really got around to it. Beckers talk inspired me to pick up my camera and accept that challenge. And here are some of the images took. :

Special thanks to my wonderful Hubby who went with me to the meeting and is always supporting me!

I feel so blessed to be able to do what I love. I love photography. I love to meet new people. I love being able to use my creativity. And I love creating something beautiful that in turn my clients will love. =) I got this facebook message from Katelyn, and it made my day! =)

Thanks for the love Katelyn!

Rachel’s mom contacted me and wanted to get some pictures of her beautiful daughter Rachel before she moved almost 2,ooo miles away to go to college. Rachel was so sweet and a pleasure to shoot! Here are some of my favorites:

Their family dogs. =) :

One of my favorites from the day. I love some sunflare!:

Cara is my beautiful sister in law. She came out to San Diego, with my Mother in law, to visit family before school starts. She was so great to have around and is always so helpful with my kids! Her visit went by so fast. I literally only took about ten pictures of her, five minutes before she left for the airport! Here were a couple of my favorites:

I LOVE this one:

It was great to see you Cara-Bear! =)
