Train Park with Friends

 We had a great picnic and photoshoot at the Poway Train Park with some friends this weekend.  They are lovely models don't you think?!  The kids were ultra cooperative and mom and dad are just so photogenic--thanks for the fun you guys!

This was my fav family shot of the day :)

Aren't these kids cute?!

Casey and Bert

 Bert and Casey live in my 'hood and Bert is headed to the 'stan pretty soon...a good time to take a moment and take some family photos.  I had so much fun during their shoot because we were able to take our time to get the shots we wanted--without worrying about kids melting down!  Good practice for me!

 These guys were game for everything I threw at them--thanks for humoring all my wild ideas!

Those EYES!  Bert--you got yourself a pretty wife for sure!

Thanks for the fun shoot Casey and Bert!  You guys are adorable--all the best during your upcoming deployment. 

Zeke Turns One!

 

What an adorable little man with a big personality!  And talk about HIGH energy :)  Zeke's mom and dad worked really hard to get this little guy to face the camera and look excited--but all the singing and toy waving worked--I ended up with a lot of fun Zeke-spressions!  Thanks again for all your hard work guys!  And thanks for giving me the opportunity to photograph your pride and joy. 

 

Happy Birthday little guy!

"Lena Birthday Comin up!"

My little girl is TWO years old now!  And she will be the first to tell you..before her birthday she would say all day long "Lena birthday comin up!" now she says "Lena birthday all done, Lena a big girl now!"    We did a little tree climbing photoshoot the day before her birthday.  She's growing up so fast!

Baby J i s already 7 months old!

Baby Jameson is gonna break some hearts someday! He is absolutely adorable and I get the great honor of being his aunt!  Which means I will shamelessly use him as a model as I practice my photography skills... ;)  What an easy model--every picture turns out when you are this cute!

Love this!  Andi leaned in for a kiss and so did J!  A big slobbery wide open mouth kiss!

Love you guys so much!  Next time I see him we will be taking his one year photos!  Time goes too fast...a good reminder to keep capturing the kiddos as they are today on (digital!) film...because they will only be this way today...and then they are all grown up.

Sophie Grace

I had the pleasure of taking pictures an old friend from my growing up years' daughter while on vacation a few weeks ago.  What a cooperative little adorable girl!  18 month old Sophie was a joy to photograph--and I learned a valuable lesson about taking 'attention getter toys'--they WANT them...perhaps next time I'll take a cute one we wouldn't mind IN the photos...

Thank you so much Jenni for giving me the opportunity to photograph Sophie!  It was great to see you again and meet your little monkey :)
