2010 Calendars!


If you had your pictures done by me in 2009, be on the look out for one of these little gems in your mailbox (only with a photo from your personal shoot on it!). They are so cute, and come both in this size and a bookmark layout. 2009 was a great year and I am excited for all the new adventures that 2010 will bring. If you have a friend or family member who is getting married or needs family portraits, please pass along my name. Word of mouth is the best advertising out there! Thank you for your continued support!

Custom Invitations



Here is a custom baby shower invitation I designed recently. I love doing graphic design. It is such a fun way to keep my creativity going in other areas besides photography. If the wording seems a little off to you, don't worry, I just made it that way to protect everyone's identity. :) Contact me to get your next invitation done!

Oceanside, California : Family Portraits








These two darling boys have just welcomed their dad home from deployment since we did this shoot. We took these darling pictures down on the beach under the Oceanside pier. It was a perfect location for them because they love to run! And run and run. I love photographing little boys, maybe because that is all I have, but they are just so fun every time! See the rest here.

Irvine, California : Family Portraits











The mother of this darling group had the idea to take these photographs at the playground. The kids were slightly distracted, but they still turned out super cute. Such darling darling children! I love shooting family portraits in Irvine, everything there is beautiful. See the rest here!

Seattle, Washington : Family Portraits









We took these at my parents home in Lakebay, Washington over Thanksgiving. It is such a gorgeous location, and I still want to shoot a wedding there some day. Preferably in June when all the roses will be out to bloom! See the rest here!

Oceanside, California : Nature








So as most of you probably know, we have been getting hit pretty hard core lately here on the coast with some storm systems. The other day my son's karate class was canceled because of the storm. The road down by the beach was shut down and there were quite a few cop cars roaming around. So what did I do? I ran home grabbed my camera and headed back into the "danger zone". I pulled off in a little round about right where the road was closed and got out into the storm to take these pictures. I got pretty wet as it was pouring at the moment, my two kids were safe in the van next to me. Pretty soon a cop came along and told me I should probably move.

Maybe I should become a storm chaser photographer when I grow up? What do you think? The ocean was crazy, but I loved being right there in the action. I am really excited to be putting these up on my blog, because I am so backlogged in my photo blogging it is a little ridiculous. Dont worry I still have Christmas card designs and Christmas family pictures to put up on here, but I am excited to blog something I actually just shot and am excited about. If you want some cool art, order a fine art canvas of one these here!

Seattle, Washington : Children Photography











This is little Ainsers! Isnt she darling? It is a good thing that I have such cute nieces since I dont have any daughters. I love to see them get all dressed up and darling. Play with their babies, such fun. Thanks Ainsley for always being so happy. She thought I was pretty comedic when I was peeping through the bushes on that last one. Here are the rest.
