san diego beach family photographer | overcoming obstacles

This GORGEOUS family came all the way from Washington to have their pictures taken on sunny San Diego’s beach with me. Only there was a problem. . .the sun was not to be seen this certain weekend. In fact, we were having a TON of rain.

Allison decided we would go ahead with the session since they traveled so far and she had put SO much thought and care into the whole thing. When we got to the beach it was COLD, but the rain stopped for us and there was even some breaks in the clouds. Her kids were AMAZINGLY good and so sweet and funny. I fell head over heels in love with all of them.

Unfortunately, we stumbled up one more big obstacle about 15 minutes into our session. While I was taking pictures of the two boys, Miss C decided to take a HUGE dip into the ocean from head to toe. Luckily, the people they were staying with lived super close and brought us a spare change of clothes for her. She never cried ONCE and was such a trooper, blue lips and all!!!! We even managed to get a ton more great shots and finish out the session. :)

Without further adieu!

san diego pregnancy photographer | looking forward

It’s the tale of two hero’s fighting for our country and falling in love in the midst of their venture. San Diego is just one of the many places Katy and Tim will be, and l am so lucky to have the chance to photograph a new part of their journey as they become parents. I cannot wait to meet their new little bundle of joy!

I made them kiss (a lot!) but I think Tim was super happy about that part of taking pictures. ;) It’s hard to come into a session without knowing each other and feel the love for the camera right away. So I use various techniques, i.e. kissing and groping one another, to calm everyone’s nerves and in turn capture those real moments and expressions that really make a portrait come alive. I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to go through the pictures and be smiling from ear to ear. My daughter was watching me go through Katy and Tim’s pictures and asking, “Why are you smiling Mommy?” I told her it was because seeing other people happy and laughing made me happy too. :) This is the moment where you all go “Awwwww”.

la jolla beach family photographer | growing like a weed

I am super behind on blogging due to the holiday bustle, but I wanted to post a few from a recent session. Stay tuned for more from other sessions later this week!

Remember this doll baby?? Nolan is already 6 months old and SOOOOOOOO squeezable, chunky and cute! We did some pics of him indoors and then headed over to the beach. Nolan definitely liked the beach better than being inside. This family is so gorgeous, I just LOVE taking their pics.

san diego beach photographer | one year later

I had the great pleasure of doing baby Dane’s newborn pictures and now he is almost one year old! Here he is back when he was brand new. I can’t believe how fast time flies. It was amazing to see how much he’s grown and he is still just as adorable as ever. :) I know I say it all the time, but I get the most gorgeous families!!! And I have to brag just a little (sorry Kevin!), but Kevin is a very talented pitcher for the San Diego Padres. . .or so I’ve heard (I don’t follow sports very much if at all but I do love my Padres) ;) . Onto the pics!

This basket is becoming a must have for babies on the beach. Little Dane was anti-sand at first and loved hangin’ out in the basket.
