Family sessions: Holly, Ben & Emma

I photographed this family in Santee and oh my goodness Emma was just too cute for words. The only way to get her attention was to mention the word "dog" and suddenly one appeared and I got some great shots. We also had some "falling" issues and got some hilarious shots with those. These are only a *few* of the great shots from this session!

Family sessions: Cindy, Ian & Family

I photographed Cindy & Ian's family in Carlsbad and it came out so beautiful. The kids were all fun to work with and warmed up after a while! They are expecting #6 next year!

Family sessions: Patty & Audrey

I did a fun little session of Patty & Audrey in El Cajon and had so much fun! Their dogs kept wanting to get in all the shots and were totally cute. Here are some fav's!

Boudoir Sessions....

I have begun shooting boudoir sessions! These are PERFECT for...
-a bride making a little album for her soon to be husband
-a wife wanting to remind her husband of what he has at home
-a girlfriend for her boyfriend/girlfriend
-a soon to be pregnant woman to show off her pre-baby body
-a perfect valentines gift!! (for a husband to give a session to his wife!)

Rates start at $150 and can go from there depending if you want a cd of the pictures, to order prints, or create an album.

I have samples of these but will not post on the site due to privacy. Please inquire if you are interested!

A wedding...Terry & Scott

I shot 2nd for this wedding and had such a good time! I learned a LOT and am thankful when other photographers are willing to teach!

It's a happy birthday kind of day

What a FUN birthday party this little one had! A scientist doing experiments kept the kids in awe and I got some great shots! The kids had fun on the playground equipment and in the air jump house. GREAT party with way too many cute kids I shot!
