Jones Sisters | San Diego Family Photography

It was such a delight to photograph these 3 sisters!  The eldest, Lindsey, was a wonderful big sister and took great pride in watching over her younger siblings and helping out with the session.  I didn’t recognize her, but it turns out that I had photographed her before at the SEES father daughter dance!  Middle sister, Charlotte, was a riot!  She was playful and so very energetic! We finally got her to sit still by having her count to 10 and then she was off again!  I was able to capture a ton of crazy expressions from her and loved her great big smile!  Baby sister, McKenna, was just happy to be! She too had big smiles and occasionally a tasty hand in mouth. McKenna is still learning to sit upright, so she would fall over slowly as she was watching me … I love those leaning tower of baby poses!  ;)

2-yr Old On the Go {California Children’s Photographer}

Photographing this California family was a blast!This little monkey just turned 2 years old, no terrible two’s in sight, but she was quite the ball of energy…constantly on the go! It was absolutely perfect that we were at a playground where she could swing and slide to hear heart’s content!

The outfits were fantastic coordination on mom’s part with tiny bits of electric green on everyone! Can you find everyone’s bit of green?

 

This little one is definitely a daddy’s girl, but you can see how much of a mommy’s girl she is too! So much love and joy came through in our time together, I was so glad to capture this milestone in their lives! Happy Birthday, Lyla monkey!

Free Ticket to the Gun Show! {Fitness Photos San Diego}

I loved trying to capture the drama of a body in motion for this incredible fitness shoot. Jason asked me to conceptualize how to show him off at his peak of fitness before one of his bodybuilding shows (Team Iron and Team World Nutrition are both blessed to call him a team member). I was honored to work with one of the country’s finest as we made our way around the gym that is his second home on Camp Pendleton. His kind personality only made the day better, and I learned a little bit about his world of nutrition and fitness. Turns out this young man doesn’t just compete, he loves to help motivate others on his blog www.strictlymotivated.com. He’s a little more than a personal trainer – he’s a nutritional expert and motivational light all wrapped into one. Check out his blog!

Introducing the Little Lady Jacklin {Newborn Portraits San Diego}

It doesn’t get much better than having a job that involves traveling to Big Bear and spending the day hiking! The Jacklins wanted to capture the majesty of the lake in their maternity photos, and mom-to-be hiked all over with only one month to go before the baby arrived!! It may have been more of a journey than she expected, but the setting was a perfect backdrop for this couple’s style.

Not having a name quite yet during our session, baby girl-to-be was fondly called Lady Jacklin, which just makes me smile! I finally got to meet little Elisa Ann, who arrived fashionably late, but I’m sure you would agree that she was worth waiting for!  Shot after beautiful shot, she was an absolute peach at her first photo session.  Marie emailed me shortly after the session and said, “Lord’s hand was in that photo session as she has been quite fussy since and she was absolutely perfect then!!”

Dreaming of a Little Daswani {Maternity Pet Portraits San Diego}

Everything about this photo shoot, from the joy in these soon-to-be first time parents’ expressions to the light shining in Ramya’s hair to the sweet little fence by the sea made my heart happy. And look at that 115-pound bundle of energetic fur who got to tag along – he was delightful! (Even when he wanted nothing more than to jump in that gorgeous watery background! I’m a huge rescue dog advocate with two of my own, and this guy sure touched the sweet spot I harbor for all of our four-legged friends:) ).

Above all, the love is what makes photographing these moments so special. Not having to stage or direct a thing, I was blessed to capture the royal treatment this little one gets during nightly story time and daily infusions of belly affection, which makes me look forward to witnessing the welcome home in November even more.
