Natalie

Natalie and her mom planned the perfect spot for her senior portraits.  It’s a quiet place close to her house where she likes to go hiking.  It was just gorgeous there that afternoon.

Natalie and her mom planned the perfect spot for her senior portraits.  It’s a quiet place close to her house where she likes to go hiking.  It was just gorgeous there that afternoon. It was a place that perfectly complimented Natalie’s personality and style.  She’s an amazing girl who already has some of her college general ed done even before graduating from high school.  She’s  heading off to BYU in the fall to study Engineering. Be sure to notice her necklaces, some of which she designed and made herself.

Baby Derek

February 21st, 2010

Baby Derek is one month old, and oh so handsome. Look at that adorable smile. His big sister, and big brother were big helpers during the photo session. It was so fun to chat with them.

At Home with the Girls

February 18th, 2010

The other day I had a great time hanging out with two gorgeous little girls. Seriously, they are just stunning aren’t they? I just love their bright blue eyes with the dark hair.  I don’t know how I get so lucky to work with the most beautiful children, but I do. Little S showed me [...]

The other day I had a great time hanging out with two gorgeous little girls. Seriously, they are just stunning aren’t they? I just love their bright blue eyes with the dark hair.  I don’t know how I get so lucky to work with the most beautiful children, but I do.

Little S showed me her room, and we got to play together. She was so delightful and charming. Her cute little voice calling me to come play with her melted my heart.  Her sister is equally charming and lovely. Here you can see her smiling for her mommy. I’m a sucker for those looks babies give their mommies.

We also went in the backyard so she could show me how she climbs trees. I’m so impressed with her tree climbing skills at just 3.

The next series of photos are some of my most favorite. It’s my first official pillow fight during a photo session.

5 Months

February 17th, 2010

Isn’t it crazy how 5 months of being pregnant can last for an eternity, but the first 5 months after the baby is born flies by? He’s already 18 pounds, is rolling over, and is just starting to eat solid foods. He shoves everything into his mouth with gusto.  It’s as if he will just [...]

Isn’t it crazy how 5 months of being pregnant can last for an eternity, but the first 5 months after the baby is born flies by?

He’s already 18 pounds, is rolling over, and is just starting to eat solid foods.

He shoves everything into his mouth with gusto.  It’s as if he will just not survive if he doesn’t get whatever he’s after into his mouth as soon as possible.

His hands are very busy busy grabbing and pounding away at everything around him.

He wants to be held all the time, and doesn’t sleep well at night.

His naps during the day are not regular, and only last around 15 minutes.

He’s very friendly, and just loves it when people talk to him.

He’s squishy and cuddly, and despite the lack of sleep and the ability to get anything done, I’ll keep him.

One

February 16th, 2010

This gorgeous girl just turned one. When your baby turns one it is a big milestone. Her birthday was celebrated with a big party with lots of people who love her to pieces. We took these photos the day after, and although she was tired, she was as sweet as can be.  Happy first birthday [...]

Oh how I love doing senior portraits.  I graduated from Moorpark High School way back in the day when a senior portrait meant going to the local studio where we all got head shots wearing the same black drape everyone else did. This makes for a very uniform yearbook layout, but it doesn’t make a memorable portrait that allows for how different and unique each student is.

This year I am offering 2 types of Senior portrait sessions.  The first is the Solo Session.  This is a session we plan all around you, and what makes you unique. We will talk and plan a session that totally fits your personality, your special talents and interests.

The second type is the Friends for Life Session. Do you have a bff, or a group of friends that you can’t live without? Why not do a session with them for your senior portraits?  These sessions are also customized to what you like to do together. How fun would it be to have a special custom photo session with you and your friends? Oh how  I wish I had done this when I was a senior.  It is about 5000% more meaningful than a head shot with a black drape.

I am so excited to start these sessions I am going to offer a special for the month of February.  I will be giving away a select number of FREE sesssions, either the solo session, or the friends for life session.  Everyone else who books in February will get 50% off their session fee. I will also be adding some special free products like cell phone skins with your photos on them, and autograph books to help you remember your senior year.

If you are interested  just comment on this post, or go to the top of the blog, click on “contact” and give me your info.  If you know someone graduating in 2011 please let them know about this special offer. The more people I have interested the more freebies I’ll be able to give away.

How do you display your photos?

I am kind of embarrassed about my house. You see people think that because I’m a photographer my house is decorated beautifully with my photos. Oh how I wish that were true. Yes, I do have some up, but most of them are still on my computer waiting for the magical day when I will make beautiful albums out of them. Better yet for now I would love to have some stylish wall displays of my photos. Today I was looking around for some great ideas on on the internet.  I have a room we just switched into an office/play area, and I would love to decorate it with some fun colorful photos of the ones I love.

I love this idea of a grid of photos. It helps undecided people like me who have a lot of photos, and can’t pick just one.

And of course a beautiful canvas adds color and personality anywhere.  I LOVE this mantle display from Ali Edwards

Photobucket

This one is great for shelves where you can display books as well as photos mounted on accordian style mats.

I also like these oval frames for a different, more artsy look.

I would love to do something like this up my stairs. Martha Stewart give some great tips on hanging photos on her website.

Of course you can never go wrong with the Pottery Barn catalog for inspiration.

For the images below Pottery Barn even has downloadable templates to help you with these looks.

Clean as a Whistle

Any of you mothers out there can attest to the fact that our job is dirty.

Any of you mothers out there can attest to the fact that our job is dirty. We are constantly dealing with all sorts of things we have to clean up.  Of course there are the dirty diapers that need changing, dirty clothes that need laundering, the dishes, counters, and don’t get me started on the floors.  I hate doing all those things, but I don’t mind cleaning up my baby. His little folds of fat need cleaning out regularly, and luckily he outgrew his hatred of the bath. Bath time is now a great time I get to spend with him one on one, smiling, laughing, tickling. After they’re all clean and fresh it’s one of my favorite times for pictures. Try it out with your little ones.  Have your camera ready for bath time.

Tea for Two

February 5th, 2010

If you saw the pictures from my post about my daughter’s birthday you might recognize her outfit here.  You see I found this scene in my backyard and had to get my camera. Why wasn’t I invited?
