My Little Cheerleader [San Diego Photographer]

Today was a first for us....Hannah Jane got to cheer with a team for the first time! I signed her up for cheerleading on base. I am so proud of how much they do for the kids. We have a wonderful coach who gives a lot of time to the girls...oh, and of course, Hannah just loves her! Today was the first basketball game. They looked so cute, and they all did a wonderful job :)

Half-time performance...

I had to make her pose for me for a few shots before we left for the game :)

Outings in San Diego [San Diego Photographer]

I just can't get over the California sunsets! I'm in LOVE!

Andrew on the merry-go-round...I was sick afterward!

Hannah swinging soooo high!

The kids like this water area the best at the aquarium. You move around the little slats to create different water currents. Then you float your boat!

Just posting some images of this past week when it wasn't so rainy :). I do have to admit that I love San Diego's "winter storm" weather...LOL! I don't really understand how you could call this weather a storm. To me a storm means, "Watch out here comes a tornado!" Just lots of rain and a little wind really isn't a storm, but I guess for San Diego, it is. I mean it was enough of a change to make the news :)

Anyhow....These are some random pictures of the kids playing and our visit to the aquarium. I have to confess....The New Orleans aquarium is so much more fun! The kids still had a good time. We've got a map of the local tidal pools and hopefully once all the weather passes, we'll go exploring! They also do whale watching tours, and we are so doing that!

Some personal images [San Diego Photographer]

I love the sunsets that we see everyday from the front of our house!

So I'm finally starting to come out of my slump that I've been in lately. I took a little break from the camera after the move. It turned out to be a little longer than I planned, but I think that it was really for the best. I recently have been taking more images just for me and our family. It's making me really love photography again! All but the last of these images were taken at Torrey Pines Beach. The kids and I also took a little hike on one of the trails...it was totally beautiful!

I'm also starting to do portfolio building (PB) sessions in the next few weeks. I'm going to keep a light load for now since Simon will be deploying to Afghanistan in the next couple of months. We're going to be trying to make the most of out of everyday before he goes. Anyhow...email me through the contact form on my website if you are interested in a PB session.

Our Christmas in San Diego

Just a couple of images from the tons that I took of Christmas. We had a wonderful visit with my parents. It sure made Christmas special by being able to share it with my family.
