So I get a call....

So I get this call from a man who wants to book a session for his wife. His words, " I think my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world and on her birthday I want her to feel beautiful." This is when I wanted to ask if he was for real? Sooo sweet. He arranged a whole special day for his bride and mother of 3. Beginning with a photo shoot, a little spa attention, lunch and shopping. I'd say that sounds like a perfect day. We had a lot of fun at the photo shoot and she said she did feel pretty. Well in my opinion her husband was right not only pretty but beautiful!!


I know as Moms we don't often feel beautiful as we are cooking, cleaning, carpooling, etc... So if your up for it, let me help you find that beauty from the inside out capturing it for keeps. Happy Mother's Day to everyone!

Shoot and Share Weekend

Our First annual Shoot and Share Weekend was a success! We put together a weekend getaway for four photographers to learn, share, and shoot. It was a blast. Our two shoots were on Saturday in Downtown San Luis and on the beach at Montana de Oro. I have never done a formal "trash the dress" session and it was a blast. This bride was awesome. She wore her real wedding dress which was beautiful and was willing to do whatever we asked her. We started in gumball Ally in San Luis and ended the day with them laying in the waves on the beach. Very fun! Thank you so much to all the girls for a great weekend.

February Fun

Hello everyone! Can't believe it is already March. I am loving this spring weather and the blossoms all around. I have been busy shooting lots of cute little ones as they hit some big milestones. This time of the year makes me want to picnic without my shoes in a field of greens. (random i know) but this is sort of the theme behind some of my upcoming shoots. We have been playing in orchards, blossoms, and wildflowers. I hope to share these with you soon.





If you are thinking of booking a session; don't forget that thanks to daylight savings we shoot well into the 7 o'clock hour after dinner. Have a wonderful week!

My January Boys!

I had the privilege of shooting 4 little gents this last week. It was quite a day. Most photographers only show you the great stuff and make it look easy. Well I thought I would show you a couple of bloopers (with moms permission of course.) Sometimes I get the perfect subject who loves the camera, more often I get the child who hates the camera and only wants mommy. So whats a photographer to do? That's when my little embarrassing routine starts. It might be the Elmo song, badly impersonated voices from other cartoons, the Wrong rendition of twinkle twinkle, peek a boo, or any odd sound that my mouth can create. All to get a little smile or some sort of break in the grumps. All this to say it's not always as easy as it looks. One of the many great reasons why you stay with the same photographer who becomes familiar with your family. (That's my little marketing piece.)

Somehow we still got this. Little brother below loved the camera!



This little cutie didn't give me a smile until 50 minutes into the shoot. But he almost cracked here. Pretty sure I was singing the Elmo song.



Little Cameron is a natural. Love those eyes!The only downfall to having clients that are teething... they chew your props!



* Reminder to all fall 2008 clients, your web gallery's will be removed by the end of next week. If you haven't finished placing your orders get them in before those pictures are archeived. Have a wonderful Valentines!!
