Eldridge Thanksgiving [Personal Musings]

November 29, 2009 – 11:42 pm

This last week has been filled with lots of laughter, shared meals, games and cousin time.  We’ve spent the week in northwest Arkansas with lots and lots of Eldridges.  More than I even knew I was related to!  Family is wonderful and being able to have everyone together is the icing on the cake.
Here is [...]

Big Brother [Long Beach Baby Photographer]

November 23, 2009 – 2:30 am

I’ve had an influx of toddlers with new siblings.  It’s so fun to see how the family dynamic changes…especially because I remember going through the change not too long ago.  And what’s even funnier is 6 months from now, these toddlers won’t even REMEMBER what life was like without their little sibling.
Here’s Jack when I [...]

Do your remember this baby?

You’re never going to believe this is her now…

I’m so lucky to get to see babies grow up…I’ll be able to say some day, I met you when you were just a week old!
Here’s Tessa and her mommy back then…

And now…

And a sweet family picture…

Ann and Michael…thanks for having me back!  [...]

This boy is LOVED [Long Beach Children's Photographer]

November 19, 2009 – 8:30 pm

I spent the afternoon editing pictures from this week and I had to share some images from a photo session that just made me smile.  One year old Tui brought along an entourage…they sang him his own version of the ABCs, they were jumping and clapping and being silly, just to make him smile.  This [...]

matching without MATCHING [Orange County Family Photographer]

November 19, 2009 – 1:21 am

I spent a lovely afternoon sunset (thanks to the time change!) with this adorable family in Ladera Ranch.

I love finding new little areas and this one happened to be in their backyard…literally!

I know Lara put a lot of thought into their outfits and you can really tell.  It’s the perfect mix of matching without MATCHING.  [...]

One of those days [Personal]

November 17, 2009 – 2:55 am

Today was the kind of day where I packed lunches and forgot drinks, showed up at the gym without my membership card, then made three trips to Target.  I’m a little forgetful these days…I’ve been telling clients that call me while I’m on the road…email me to remind me!  If it’s not written down, it [...]

If you’re a client…know that I’m [...]

Won me over [Long Beach Maternity Photographer]

November 13, 2009 – 3:02 am

I met Nick and Riki through email and we chatted a little about what they were looking for, locations, clothing and Goya.  Goya is their first child…their cute little dog.  Nick promised Goya would win me over with his “undertooths” if I would let him be in their photo session.

Goya has won you [...]

Field Trip [Personal Musings]

November 12, 2009 – 3:09 pm

The last time my mom was out she mentioned that she lived in Los Feliz for a few years as a kid.  So, on a whim we drove through LA searching for her old house…based on her memory alone!!!  And we found it.  That’s the amazing thing…after 50 years a mind can remember things like [...]
