So happy that I finally got to meet Catalina. She is the 7month old daughter of a former co-worker at CSULB and we’ve been talking about scheduling a shoot for about hmmmmm 7 months! This is probably one of my favorite ages to shoot…so much expression!

Welcome Little Abbie!

I got a call as I was leaving town that one of my favorite clients was in labor! She wanted to make sure I was available to take newborn photos because her baby arrived about 5 weeks early! I always like to photograph infants within the first 2 weeks of life because that is when they are most sleepy and easy to place in interesting positions!
Abbie arrived early and healthy! Two weeks after she entered the world I photographed her at 4 1/2 lbs! Congratulations to her amazing parents Isabelle and Bill!!! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special time!

One of my favorite jobs each year is to photograph the kids at the 2nd Happiest Place on Earth, a daycare and pre-school located in Long Beach, Ca. Here are a few favorite images from the candid shoot of the kids in school and enjoying the park…

Isabelle and Bill hired me to shoot their wedding many years ago, and since I have photographed several weddings of their friends! Now I was invited to photograph them as they embark on their next exciting adventure….parenthood! They will be amazing parents and I’m so excited to meet (and photograph) their baby girl…coming in 2012! Congrats you two!

I’m very proud of my three year old for taking this image of our dog, Casanova. Casanova has been recovering from a massive spinal cord stroke leaving him temporarily paralyzed. He is up and running now, and my little guy was able to capture this great image when he was resting!

Halloween Time….

Its that time again….pumpkins, candy costumes and of course my annual job to shoot the Pediatric therapy network’s annual Halloween Ball. These guys always come with the best costumes, I’m always inspired! But mostly they come out to support the Kids who need therapy! They raise thousands of dollars each year at this event! Their website is http://www.pediatrictherapynetwork.org/ for more information!

Back to It!

Two weeks after my daughter was born I was back out shooting, 5 weeks later back teaching photography in the classroom. Not much time to rest and catch up…lucky that I love what I do….Here’s a recent shoot from the past weekend….I love it when families include their pets in their family photo shoots….especially 145lbs ones named “Ike”….
