Spring Time Kids [San Diego Photographer]

Sharing a few images from a quick session with friends.

Deployment - Day 1

Not a lot of words today....tears, prayers & peace.

Hannah's first real haircut [San Diego Kid Photographer]

After 2 full beach days, I came to the realization that I HAD to get Hannah's hair cut! She literally had one big dread-lock which was once a pretty pony tail! So after spending over an hour untangling the mess, I took her to a cute little kid's salon. She actually got about 3 inches cut off! So here are a few photos of the actual cut and then her impromptu photo session this afternoon :)

And my big boy, Andrew :)

Fun Couple [San Diego Photographer]

It's been 10 years since I had last walked through Balboa Park...until today! I photographed this wonderful, young couple this afternoon in the San Diego's most beautiful park. These two are getting ready to say goodbye because he will soon be deploying with Simon. I'm so happy that I was able to capture these happy moments between them before their separation.

Umm...lots more images than I usually preview, but I just couldn't pick a favorite. These are my top 5 favorites...i think ;-). It was fun photographing a couple for a change. I love my babies and kiddos, but it's nice to have subjects that do what I tell them to do :)






Thanks so much for the fun session guys! I hope you enjoy your last few days together and make the most of each moment!

Simon's RC Plane Adventures [San Diego Photographer]

Simon took his new remote control plane to the air strip on Camp Pendleton today. The runway is landing zone for helicopters so the club can only use it on the weekends, and with the nice weather today, the place was packed with all sorts of planes and helicopters. The club president helped Simon make sure he was all setup right and even helped him fly it :). The kids thought it was cool for a few minutes, but the sand was where they choose to stay.

One of the pros doing some really cool stuff...


Simon with his toy...

Mr. Andrew :)

Simon's plane in the air!!!

More fun tricks...

Aren't the mountains in the back so pretty :)

See....sand pit!

Sweet little family [San Diego Photographer]

I photographed a sweet little family today at the community center in my neighborhood. It turned out to be a beautiful spot for pictures. The weather was great, but it did have a little chill in the air so we kept the session short and sweet....can't have this precious little girl getting too cold!

I LOVE this image and the story it tells! Mom is singing "Twinkle, twinkle little star".

Just the two of them...

And look at these eyes...isn't she gorgeous!

Thanks for the awesome session and for braving the chilly weather! I'll have your gallery up in a couple of weeks.

Family Snapshots [San Diego Photographer]

I just wanted to share a few snapshots. We are enjoying spending time together as a family before the deployment which is coming way too fast.

From our day at the San Diego Zoo


We went out to visit the grave site of our beloved guinea pig Ron. He passed away the day after Christmas this past year. We buried him down by the pond in a nice, pretty spot. Hannah said a prayer and made Simon pray, too :)

On another note...this would be an awesome photo spot for those of you with base access!
I LOVE this image! It's so THEM. I was laying on the couch watching TV when I saw them...the computer was just lighting up their face and I had to capture it! Andrew is for sure a Daddy's Boy. They love playing video games and watching youtube videos of rc planes and trucks.
