Thanksgiving...San Diego style!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

The Ramm Family: Mini Session

This family of silly, energetic boys was a blast. We ran around and gathered giant leaves, threw them in the air, jumped into piles of leaves and really just had a great time. Suzanne (the mom) told me the next day that her boys asked her if they could go back to Old Poway Park with me to do it all over again! Thank you, Ramms for supporting my business and for spending a beautiful sunny, San Diego day with me at Old Poway Park (with a million other photographers!)









One of my favorite all time pictures...I LOVE LOVE this shot!!!

Mini Session: Bunn Family

This was my 2nd year photographing this family for Christmas. One year made a huge difference...Maddi was all smiles and was a little princess for me this year. Thank you, Chad and Liz for sticking with me for the 2nd year! You have a beautiful family and we totally appreciate every ounce of time and energy that you pour into our wacky home group. :)

Mason Oswald: Newborn Session

This little guy was born a couple weeks late at a whopping 9 lbs! His mom and one of my dear friends, Julie Oswald is an inspiration. Mason was her 3rd boy...her first boy was an emergency c-section. Her 2nd boy was a V-bac..all natural and this big guy was another natural birth, but at home this time. I love that she was brave enough to go against the flow w/ not a only a V-bac, but also a home birth and cooked that little guy for 42 weeks! She's Super Mom! Anyway...here's a few of my favorite shots of Mason. I can't wait to see what God has in store for this family of boys! Love, hugs and super heroes to you, Oswald Family. :)

Newborn Session with Kaia Ek

So this was definitely one of my favorite sessions. First of all I walked into this room and the lighting couldn't have been more perfect. Second of all how stinking cute are all of the owls? And third of all how cute is this little baby girl and her beautiful mama! Katie is my neighbor and I just happened to mention to her one day that I am a photographer...she went home, looked at my blog and emailed me the next day to schedule a session which we did the next day after that. Woo hoo! Thanks, Katie for hiring me to take pictures of your beautiful new baby girl. It was fun getting to know you and I look forward to taking more pictures of your cute family in the future. :0)

The Perez Family: Mini Session

Another fabulous mini session up on the blog! Here's the Perez family...a returning family. Last time I had a session with just Abby and Dana because Jaime was deployed. We had a great time frolicking around the winery, this time with Jaime! Abby is just as cute as a button with her silly smiles and fuzzy hair that sticks straight up. I love it! I will miss this family dearly as they will be relocating to the east coast for another assignment. Love you guys a ton and I know that God will bless you in your adventures to come. :0) xoxo

Good Morning Jaedyn!

Sorry for the re-post...his freckles were missing. :0)

While the rest of the child-less world was enjoying their extra of hour of sleep this past Sunday I enjoyed my extra hour with my camera and my children. I'm so grateful for this cute face and the fact that every morning he wakes me up with this beautiful smile.

Delmar Family: Mini Session

Here's another mini session with this wonderful family. We returned to Orfila Vineyard in Escondido for this one.

The Audelo Family: Mini Session

Here's a little peak including some of my favorites from this 30 minute session with this fun energetic family. Lara warned me about her older son and his fear of the camera and boy was she right. This was super tricky because we only had 30 minutes so forget about any get to know you time before clicking. We had to do lots of candids to get him to crack some smiles. Thankfully a little tossing in the air followed by a fun game of chicken worked just great. :) Thanks Lara and Steve for sharing your family with me!
