Family Beach Session [San Diego Photographer]

We had another great day today up in Oceanside. The kids got to play at that awesome park on Camp Pendleton while the boys fished. Later, we headed to the beach so I could take our friends' family photos. The kids had so much fun running and playing in the sand and water! Photographing at such a fun place sure makes things easy :) We even got to watch the beautiful sunset...I couldn't have asked for a better day!

Thanks for helping me build up my San Diego portfolio!!

My family [San Diego Photographer]

We are in the middle of a wonderful weekend here in San Diego! Yesterday, we had a family fun day. We started the day watching Hannah cheer at the basketball game. Then, we headed up to Camp Pendleton to our favorite little lake. Simon and Andrew had fun in Simon's new small boat. It's just perfect for that size lake, and it fits right in the back of his truck :). While the guys were fishing, Hannah and I had a blast at the new playground. It was so cool...it had artificial turf and everything! But, the day wasn't over, yet. So after we had dinner, we went to the base theater to see Avatar. It was a great movie, and you can't beat getting the whole family into the movies for just $7 !! I love MCCS :) . Today we had nice relaxing Valentine's Day. Simon got me and Hannah some beautiful flowers, and we all got chocolates...my fave!! Simon got breakfast in bed, and then we had a fun day of Wii playing. Just before sunset, we headed to the Bay View on MCRD for a few family photos. We were way over due in updating our family picture, and I had to be sure to do this before Simon deploys. I had planned on beach pictures, but with it being a beautiful day on a holiday weekend, that plan was spoiled. When we were within a mile of the beach, traffic was at a stand still! Oh well...I think we found a beautiful spot that was completely empty :) And the best part is that Simon has tomorrow off, too! Who knows what we'll get into then!

The kids visit La Jolla [San Diego Photographer]

Today the kids and I visited La Jolla and a few of their beautiful beaches. I have to admit that bribing them with a visit to the beach is a great way to get them to finish their school work quickly :). Anyhow...we started the day at the Cave Store. They have a staircase inside the store that goes down inside the cliff to a cave at the beach. I never thought I was claustrophobic until I got about half way down the 145 stairs. My legs were literally shaking! But, it was a beautiful sight to see. Now the climb back up the stairs...well, let's just say I skipped the gym tonight ;-). So after the cave, we headed to the beach because the kids were just dying (oh, I mean whining) to go in the water. It was a little chilly, but as you can see from the photos they didn't notice.
