Just like Mogli [Personal Musings]

The other day, we were relaxing in our favorite little corner of paradise.

After getting fully engulfed into book number three of the week, I hear Brent’s voice far far above me.  “Is this one the biggest?”  WHAT!?  He had climbed up a 20 foot palm tree- mogli style- and was picking a coconut.
The next thing [...]

Obsession with Chairs [Long Beach Children's Photographer]

I have more chairs stuffed in 1300 square feet of space than any other person alive.  There’s the 10+ dining room chairs because I have a lot of friends and I like to have people over for dinner!  Then, there’s chairs stashed in each of the kids’ rooms…artfully disguised as pieces of decor.  I have [...]

Highlight Reel [Bay Area Children's Photographer]

So…the weekend was a blur.  Many hours on the road, bestest of friends, BBQs, sleep-overs and hugs from all my clients I now call friends.
I had the day to sort out files, edit and get packed up to leave again.  This time for Hawaii.  It’s part work and part fun…well mostly fun!  And the work [...]

Headed out! [Personal Musings]

It’s still dark and I’m just about ready to load the car for the long trip up to the Bay Area.  I’m so excited to see our great friends and meet up with some wonderful clients.
You can think about me driving over the grapvine with three little blonde heads bopping all over the backseat.  Thank [...]

Roses for Sale [Huntington Beach Kids Photographer]

If you can believe it, I’ve already delivered the prints from the Rascals to Rebels mini-sessions.  I’m in the middle of planning our next event!  Time flies.  I had many many people ask about the hand-made rose backdrop, so I thought I’d sell it if anyone is interested.
The backdrop measures 54″ by 58″.  I have [...]

The Life of a One Year Old [Child Birthday Photographer]

There’s fingers to eat and toes to grab…

There’s birthday cake to eat…

Then there’s the whole being cute thing.  That takes all kinds of effort!

It’s a rough life…but somebody’s gotta do it.

Tween [Newport Child Photography]

Tween. A tween is a child between the ages of 9 and 12. A tween is no longer a little child, but not quite a teenager.
I love this age…silly, serious, adorable…all wrapped up into a growing-by-the-minute package.

I must say, Nicoletta is a doll to work with and she’s always dressed perfectly.  Not too adult, [...]

Carlee [Long Beach Baby Photographer]

Sooooo…it’s the weekend!  This is the first weekend in a while that I have a Saturday off.  Woo to the hoo!  Brent and I are attending a friend’s wedding, then we’ll hang out with the kids and I might even mop my floors.  The life of a rock star. 
I hope you are ready [...]

April in the Bay Area [Bay Area Children's Photographer]

I CANNOT believe it’s been almost a year since I’ve been back to the Bay Area to take photos and visit friends.  Crazy!  I’ve been in contact with a few of my previous clients and I’m mostly booked, but I decided to open up Sunday morning April 18 for some mini-sessions.
Unfortunately, I’ve priced myself out [...]

The grass is greener [Huntington Beach Child Photography]

Straight haired girls want curls.  Curly haired girls want straight hair.  The grass is always greener on the other side!
I have the fascination with curly haired girls…you know the ringlets that boing boing they walk.  Oh, it’s just the cutest thing!

Her mom told me that they were planning on having it straightened, but it didn’t [...]
