Just in time for New Year’s cleaning up, from today’s San Diego Union-Tribune:
The Electronic Disposal Group has planned four e-waste recycling events in the county this month, including one this weekend.Each event will run from 9AM to 3PM.
The first event is today and tomorrow in Carlsbad in the parking lot of Westfield Plaza Camino Real, […]

Hello, world! Liam James is fourteen days old. He has a fuzzy head of hair, big surfer feet, and a family that adores him - right down to his Labrador “brother,” who loves to lick him all over. You can see Liam on the inside here. I never get tired of witnessing a couple becoming […]

How quickly time flies! I’m tickled to show these images of Julian, whom I first photographed on the inside, and then as a newborn. Even then his beautiful red hair was peeking through! Here he is at a year and a half old. We had a great time playing in the garden, and getting wet […]

A dancing queen, Elmo aficionado, lover of dried cranberries, an avid gardener. Meet Winter, age 17 months! Her beautiful blue eyes are an exact replica of her mama’s - isn’t her dad lucky to have two sets to enjoy? We wandered around their gardens on a Saturday afternoon, just enjoying a beautiful day. Thank you […]

Multi-generation portraits are truly meaningful, and it’s important to take the time to do these! Proud Nana Sharla knew exactly what she wanted. On a picture-perfect San Diego evening, we created some portraits of the entire family. The main purpose was an extended family portrait. Sharla’s was the winning bid at the Flora Vista Elementary […]

Raise your hand if you can whistle along to the Thomas theme music! I have a love-hate relationship with Thomas, that cheeky little blue tank engine. I’m not a big fan of “characters” in the first place, and there’s only so much Thomas a mom can take. But I love what Thomas has done for […]

From our family to yours… have a sweet day!

Love these boys! Ryder and Kai braved the elements yesterday for a beautiful, solitary beach session with parents Keith and Letania. The negative low tide revealed some beautiful tidepools; the boys loved exploring them! You can see all the growing up that both boys have done since our first session together. Kai was so into […]

Welcome, baby Aaron! Seriously one of the happiest babies I have met. Aaron is all smiles, almost all of the time. I just realized I picked some of his more quiet moments… but these are my favorites! He has those beautiful blue eyes, and rolls of baby fat. His parents are head over heels in […]

When I was editing these images yesterday, Dave looked over my shoulder and said, “Wow - cute kid!” And I laughed because he didn’t recognize baby Nico, whom I have photographed both at six months old and one year old! His response - “He’s got hair!” Yes, among other major changes… he walks, he climbs, […]

Please welcome Dave and Shelley and their children Max, Ryan, Gracie and Devin to the blog! We enjoyed the Santa Ana winds at the beach yesterday evening, and the tidepools exposed by the  negative tide. We saw huge starfish, teeny tiny hermit crabs, and shells of all shapes and sizes. Everyone left wet and sandy, […]

Sometimes my job is just too easy. Meet sisters Colleen and Megan! This shoot is their Christmas present to their mom. Isn’t that sweet?! Megan flew down from Seattle for this, and she was rewarded with a weekend of perfect San Diego weather. Colleen’s beau Justin humored us with his participation, and Colleen’s labbie girl, […]

Please welcome three and a half year-old Basia to the blog! We played at Fletcher Cove this week on a very summer-like day. The more wet and sandy she became, the more delighted Basia was. It was wonderful to bask in her pure, unfettered joy. I know parents Erin and Farid are thinking that we […]

Please join us on Friday, October 17th from 7-9PM for the opening reception of the Starfish Portraits exhibit! This exhibit will be installed at the office of Robert M. Biter, M.D. It celebrates women and their families at all stages of life. We hope to see you there! His office is located at 499 N. […]

October is National Family Portrait Month. With our friends, the Jacksons, looking to adopt a child to expand their family, I thought it would be nice timing to put the spotlight on adopting families by gifting a free portrait session. If you are part of a family who has adopted a baby or child, or […]

We wrapped up baby Jet’s year-long portrait series with an afternoon at Quail Botanical Gardens. I’m so amazed at how quickly this year has gone - I’m sure parents Tim and Brooklyn feel it even more, ha ha! Let’s compare! Here is Jet’s newborn session, and here are his six-month portraits. The development and growth […]

Kevin and Diane make this look easy, but I imagine parenting four children takes a very specialized skill set. I love how these siblings interact; lots of love going on here. I find it even more admirable knowing Diane’s commitment as Team Captain for Boobs on the Move. Many thanks to Kevin and Diane for […]

Noah, age 16 months, loves dancing, climbing the stairs, racing up and down the hallway with his shopping cart, and in general running big circles around anyone over three feet tall. I can see how parents David and Tristine stay so fit! His enthusiasm for life is infectious, and was a welcome reminder of the […]

I had the pleasure earlier this week of photographing Matt as he embarks on his last year of high school. I’ll try not to embarrass him too much by gushing about him, but suffice it to say that I can only hope that my son grows up to be as independent and sure of himself. […]
