She’s Glowing!
We’ve all heard pregnant women described as “glowing” or “radiant.” I don’t know about you, but I never felt either of those when I was pregnant. I think the closest I came to glowing was the fact that I was sweaty all the time. When you see the photographs below, though, you’ll understand why people use [...]

What a ham!
This adorable and active little boy loves the camera! And the camera loves him. With some of these drop-dead gorgeous looks, we were wondering if he had been watching Zoolander. =) He is at an age (2 1/2) that can be tough to photograph if a kid is not into it and it was such a [...]

Future Fashion Model
Remember the “Newborn Sweetheart?” Well, she’s all grown up and starting her career as a fashion model! =) Only kidding; she’s still a precious little baby, but she sure does like her mama dressing her up in adorable outfits! I love photographing this family; the love they all have for each other is such a joy [...]

Petite Street Tutus is open for business!
I was thrilled to do the photography for Petite Street Tutus, a new business started by Christine Burns, a San Diego mom of two adorable little girls. Like Christine, I never thought I’d be the kind of mom to dress my daughter up in frilly outfits. Neither one of us is a girly-girl, eschewing make-up [...]

Corporate Headshots… Plus Bonus “Kidshots”
This beautiful woman, who some of you may know =), came in for corporate headshots and brought her youngest of three kids along for the ride. Her daughter was amazingly patient through all the wardrobe and background changes and even agreed to have her photograph taken, too. Lucky me, because she is adorable! =)

The most fun kind of chaos! =)
I love photographing this family! I have lost exact count, but this is something like the fourth or fifth time I’ve photographed them and it is always a blast. There are two things that make this family especially fun. The first is big sister, who is now 3 1/2 years old. She has a huge [...]

Go, go, go!
Imagine this. For close to a year, you’ve been pretty much immobile. At first, totally stuck in one place and then slowly, you could get around a little more and more, first rolling around, then crawling. Then one day, you can walk! And all of a sudden a whole new world is opened up to [...]

This one was almost too easy! =)
There’s always just a tiny bit of nerves for me before every session. When working with kids, I’m never sure exactly how it’s going to go and I always want to do a wonderful job beyond client’s expectations. The sessions are always fun, but they’re usually not easy. This session, however, was as close to [...]

The studio can be a little intimidating…
This poor little girl did not like my studio lights at all! Her mama and dada would get her calmed down and smiling and as soon as the light flashed, she would instantly start crying. We tried for a few minutes, but it wasn’t getting any better for her, so it was time for plan [...]

I {heart} Apple!
I’ve been having problems with my MacBook Pro’s battery draining way too fast and then the computer mysteriously shutting off with no warning. I went online and made an very convenient appointment at my local Apple Store to meet with a “Genius.” Well, I’m here to tell you that, not only was this guy plenty [...]

Just Another Example of the Power of the Web to Connect People
This is a pretty amazing story, and not just because I made some money! =) So this guy is searching the web for unique wedding rings that he and his partner can wear since they are finally allowed to “officially” get married (after 20 years together). He types “brushed gold ring” into a Google image search [...]

So I’m blogging… again.
In 2001, when I was first really getting into web design, I started a little blog for the main purpose of practicing my web design skills (and keeping friends and family up-to-date on my life, of course). It lasted about a year until I realized that I had exactly one faithful reader (thanks, Dad!) and [...]
