I'm a big believer in low-stress, casual, family photography sessions. My favorite thing about photography is capturing you...in the moment. Real laughs, real expressions, nothing too posed. Just you.

    Most photography sessions take place in San Diego, Temecula, and Orange County. I also offer travel sessions in San Jose, Oregon, Utah, and the Washington, D.C. area!

Tiritilli Bridals

I’ve been dying to get a sneak peek up from Jonathan and Shaina’s pre-wedding session taken in La Jolla. We shot this a week before their wedding, which takes a lot of the pressure of the wedding day itself and ensures that we get great shots of the Mr. and Mrs. without an entourage watching. We had so much fun playing around on the beach. Shaina was completely easy going, even though her dress got nice and sandy. (Again…good thing it was shot a week before the wedding!) More from the wedding coming soon!

Claire: 2-years-old

It’s so hard to believe that my baby is going to turn two in a few days. She is happy and sweet. And the apple of everyone’s eye. Her brothers read the same books to her over and over and over and over, and don’t even try to summarize the stories or hide the books from her so she can’t find them again next time. They make her chocolate milk when she asks for it. They run to her room the second she makes a peep in the morning, so they can be the first to talk to her. I often see them shaking their heads and saying, “She’s adorable.” We all want to eat her up.

Here are a few of our favorite things about her:

1. She sings. Sometimes she sings all the right words, sometimes she mixes several songs together. It’s all good.

2. She has a boyfriend. She asks about him randomly during the day. Sometimes I even have to go on Facebook and open up his profile so she can look at his photos. This makes her very, very happy. I should mention that he’s almost 14.

3. She’s sassy and knows what she wants. And knows how to get it. This will serve her well.

4. She loves princess anything. All I have to do is put princess underwear over her diaper to make her the happiest girl in the world. You win bonus points with her if you call her Princess Claire.

5. She has a serious sweet tooth. She gets it from her grandpa.

6. I love it when I come home from a photo session and she throws her arms around me and proclaims, “I missed you!” and hangs on tight to me for a good 20 minutes.

Happy Birthday, Princess Claire. We’re so glad you’re ours!

 This is the look that gets her pretty much anything she wants…

Sneak Peek: Slade

I’m frantically trying to finish up all sessions before I take off for Hawaii next week! Meet one of my favorite families…the Slades.  LeeAnn and I walk three days a week and talk about everything. Sometimes she is the only adult I talk to until 7:00 p.m. when my husband gets home! She and her hubby have the cutest girls ever. She has 4 girls…I have 4 boys…we’ll have to see what we can work out for them when they are much, much older!:)They are a total eye candy family…it’s simply not possible to take a bad photo with these peeps! Enjoy the mustache photo!

Sneak Peek: Swensen (Part Deux)

You might remember one of these families from this post. We got together over the Thanksgiving break to photograph the whole gang, who were in town for the holiday. They were all so much fun. And given that there were lots of kids, it could have been challenging. But aside from one runner, who wasn’t too interested in all the hoopla, they were a piece of cake. Party of 26…bring it on!

One happy couple:

Sneak Peek: Hunck

He’s from Toronto, Canada…she’s from Australia. They actually live in Minnesota. But they are spending a few months on the beach in San Diego this winter…because they can…and because Minnesota is cold! And to document the trip, a photo session on the beach was in order. We had a great time strolling the boardwalk, finding awesome Mission Beach locations and chatting it up.  And little Miss A. was perfect the entire time, once she decided I wasn’t as scary as she originally thought.:)

Here’s the great thing about a “winter” day in California, when it’s a mere 60 degrees outside and it’s cloudy, the beaches are deserted. We would have never had Mission Beach all to ourselves on a sunny day. It was perfect all around! Thanks you three!
