Just two from the park

Did everyone have a fabulous Thanksgiving! Our family Thanksgiving weekend was full of soccer (wouldn’t have it any other way!) and photoshooots. Thanks to all of the rain this Fall, many families needed to be rescheduled, and I had the weekend set aside for soccer. Luckily, and contrary to the usual 8am game schedule, Matt [...]

Growing Boys, off to Battle

I meant to share some New York pictures with you today, but I have to jump ahead… See those boys entrenched in battle up there? I’ve been taking their pictures since the little dude was in mom’s tummy. Every year is a blast with these boys. They are non-stop energy, and this year was no [...]

Gone to the dogs

In between these recent San Diego rain showers & windy days, there were a few hours on Monday morning with mild temperatures and gently cloudy skies. I snatched up the opportunity, called Karen, the owner of MyPerfectPet, and told her to get her dogs out to Balboa Park! Karen and I are working together on [...]

The best photographer in the tri-state area!!

I shared a common love with last weekend’s family! Can you guess it from the title up there? That title probably seems pretty arrogant if you’ve never seen THE BEST CARTOON SHOW EVER! If you get my joke, you know that we all LOVE PHINEAS AND FERB!! I found myself blurting out all kinds of [...]

Lights in the hills — fun with off-camera lighting

Last Saturday I was out at lunch with my family at In n Out Burger (yummmmmmmm), and the clouds in the sky were GORGEOUS! The weather was chilly with rain off & on all weekend, so the Barefoot Memories sessions had to be postponed. But these clouds… and the blue sky…. I felt a crazy [...]

Silly Giggles

Summer vacation is in full swing, and the kids are having a BLAST! My work hours are really cut short, but I don’t mind. Summer is all about playtime, not work time, RIGHT? (Hence no blog posts since Fathers Day — man, that’s some serious blog neglect!) I have to share these photos with you, [...]
