I think my first portraits of each new year should always include newborn babies; a fresh start in so many ways! Here is baby Ashley at two weeks old; you can see her “on the inside” portraits here. Big sister Nicole is just in love, enchanted, enthralled with her new baby sister. At age four […]
OK, you will not believe how much these twin brothers have grown! Check out their full baby session here; they were so little!
Here are Jennifer and Horst’s big boys, now two years old! I am so glad that we documented their first two years - time goes by way too quickly. Thank you and big […]
So fun to follow a family over the course of a year! Here is the latest installment in the story of Ryder and Kai. You can see their first session here, and their second one here. Kai has gone through such dramatic changes as he reaches the end of his second year. He is still […]
One fabulous reason to give back - the opportunity to meet some genuinely nice families! Martha and Mark won this family beach session at a fundraiser at The Children’s School. We met one morning at Fletcher Cove to play with their three children - Tommy, age seven, Ashley, soon to turn five, and Katelyn, nearly […]
How quickly a year passes by! Ready for this transformation? Here is baby Chloe as a newborn; here she is at one year old with her adorable brothers Jack and Ben, and the whole family! Observing the growth and transition in Sean and Nicole’s family is such a joy. Jack has always been a terrific […]
Fun times! The family that plays together is a LOT of fun to photograph. Meet the adorable Ella and baby brother Kai, along with parents Michelle and Tom. Ella is almost seven years old, and loves the outdoors, dolls, and wearing dresses - she’s also a gymnast, loves to dance, and has a deep sense […]
I keep saying this… time flies! Here are brothers Aidan and Mason a year after we first started working together to document Mason’s first year. In our first session, Mason was just an infant; in our second session he was crawling everywhere and just starting to walk. And here he is two days ago, exploring […]
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 […]

I had a wonderful family portrait session with Karis ad baby brother Drake this past weekend. Karis, who will turn three in April, and Drake, six months old, are an adorable pair. One of the happiest babies I have met recently, Drake is all smiles and big on personality. Karis is inquisitive, clever, and a […]
Working with newborns is inspiring. This is one lucky little girl. Addison was born three weeks ago into such a warm, loving family. Big brother Brody is pretty enamored, and parents Amanda and Dan are definitely in love with their little girl. She loves being swaddled, and dad’s special technique of rocking her down to […]
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 […]
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, […]

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 […]
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 […]
