We were supposed to meet when he was born, but the photo session fell through and months past. Now he’s 6 months old with chubby fingers and toes. And big blue eyes. HUGE. He’s so expressive and was really into his surroundings. Even though our photo shoot was 6 months late, he had 6 months to get even cuter!
Every year I love helping the kids pick out their Halloween costumes! Their choice always reflects their personality. And how awesome is it to be able to dress up and be someone else for the day!! Kids own it too…they fully embrace the super hero or princess and embody that character.
Well, if you’re like me, I think about taking the photos at night and they usually don’t turn out that fabulous. Soooo, I’m teaming up with Rascals to Rebels again for a Halloween photo shoot! We wanted to make this do-able for everyone, so it’s a drop by event. Meaning…you don’t need to make an appointment.
I’ll be at the Rascals to Rebels in Rossmoor on October 30 from 2-4pm and the Rascals to Rebels in Huntington Beach on October 31 from 3-5pm. I’ll spend a minute or two with each child and get a few fun photos in front of my hand-painted grey backdrop. The photos are simple, timeless and a fun way to commemorate a really FUN holiday!
Here’s the deal…it’s $20 and you’ll get THREE digital images (high resolution). Drop by with your kids in their costumes, pay the $20 and fill out a bit of info so I can email you the photos the next day. Share them with all your family and friends, make copies. IT’S A GREAT DEAL!
Also, Rascals to Rebels has so many cute Halloween tees and accessories that you’ll want to do a little shopping while you’re there. 🙂
This week is one of those times that I’m thankful to be able to spend countless hours at my computer. In my air-conditioned house. The temperature has been well over 100 and we are all saying that summer and fall decided to do a little switch-a-roo. Oh well. How can we complain when the rest of the country will be getting out their winter gear and we will be heading to the beach!
Stay cool!

I’m so excited about my new cards for 2010! All cards are custom made, so text, color and some design elements can be changed.
You are welcome to use photos taken earlier this year for Christmas card designs. I am more than happy to make recommendations for what will go well with your photos!

I’ve photographed Payton before, with her adorable red curls. It was an extra special treat to get her mommy with her in front of the camera!
Their connection is so sweet! Payton just wanted to be with her mommy. She wasn’t paying much attention to the camera…which is exactly the way I like it!
We had such a fun time! I can’t wait to meet the new baby!!

Back when the wildflowers were in bloom I did a photo shoot with three little cousins. This was such a perfect setting for three giggly little girls!
I already can’t WAIT for the wildflowers to come back. Next year I’m going to start early…there just wasn’t enough time this year!

I had another fabulous weekend at Rascals to Rebels! The kids were so cute and each one had their own fun personality! My background photographed so well, too. I couldn’t be happier!
Whew! That was a big post! And that’s only half the sessions. I’ll share the next weekend at Rascals to Rebels in a few days. 🙂

This summer has been a blur! I can hardly believe that we are less than 2 weeks away from the first day of school. Brent pulled up the class lists for the kids last night and ever since they’ve been talking non-stop about their teachers, who’s in their class and all the fun things they’ll do this year. In the midst of a crazy summer, I had a cold, then allergies, which then turned into a sinus infection, then an ear infection. I kept telling myself…if I’m still sick by the time the kids start school, I’ll make an appointment. That’s how much I love going to the dr. Well, the workload won out, so I made an appointment and found out my list of aforementioned problems! All that to say, if I sound stuffy on the phone…it’s not my normal voice and hopefully I’ll be back to myself soon.
Way back in the beginning of summer, I did this By the Bay session and I love the way the overcast sky gives a whole moody look to the pictures.
This last image is my absolute favorite. The way her hair is blowing in the wind and the sideways glance…oh and her tunic. Sigh. I feel like she is in Southern France.

We call our kids blondies and if you’ve seen them, that’s an understatement. Jillian’s hair can more accurately be described as WHITE and the boys have only recently turned a darker shade of blonde. It’s cute to hear them use it in conversation…”you know Evan, he’s a blondie.”
One of my favorite newborn sessions was with a blondie. Little Austin had the lightest of newborn hair and peachy cream skin. He’s just adorable.
I used one of my newborn cocoons since he was in such a deep sleep. The peacock blue color was amazing with his skin tone!
If you’re a photographer interested in purchasing a kid silk mohair cocoon, Kathy has them in her etsy store right now. Click here to see more. She’ll be adding more, so stay tuned!
When I photograph newborns, either clients will come to my home studio or I will travel with all my supplies to their home. In this case, I met Austin at his home…which was a tiny (but gorgeous!) space. They were gracious enough to move furniture so I could have adequate light. All this to say, sometimes a very glamorous picture doesn’t look very glamorous when we’re making it. My clients trust me and I’m so glad they do!
Here’s a bit of the ‘behind the scenes’!
