Thought I’d post a few from our San Diego trip last month. My sister Liz and her kiddos were out from Kansas at the same time and suggested we head over to Coronado. it was cloudy, a bit cool, and at times a little drizzly. Transalation for all the kids – no problem! Give Teagan a bucket & shovel and not even snow would stop her from beach-combing. I got the wonderful pleasure of sitting back, guarding the stuff, and fending off some seriously aggressive seagulls.
I did however manage to get some nice photos of the girls at play. Here are a few of Reilly, Miss T and cousin Ashlyn.
First off, let me just start out by apologizing for the length of time between blog posts of late; our 9 day absence while we were off on our workshop/cruise to Cabo and in San Diego for James’ brother’s wedding has felt more like we were gone for 19 days! Getting caught up during the busiest season of the year has been challenging, but at least those of you who follow us on Facebook know that we’re still alive and posting! Thanks for hanging with us!
Now, to the REAL point of this post…the handsome Mr. David! We started photographing J when he was about 3 months old and throughout his first year, and it was shocking to me that he was already here for his two-year portraits. J was a typical little boy who wanted to run and play, but not without giving us some looks to die for, as he always has! How can you not just melt at that shock of blonde curls and sweet little smile? We can’t wait to meet his brand-new baby brother…congrats to the David family!
Meet Sara from Bella Vista. Sara brought some energy and attitude to her senior session that kept me going. We made her session in our very own Enchanted neighborhood and did everything from jumping, dancing, lounging, and um…tying some shoes. Great job on your outfits Sara, love them shoes!
It’s taken me the better part of 7 years to convince Stef the yumminess of sushi. Never high on her list, on the rare occasion she would suggest it for dinner, it meant it was either my birthday or a preparation for a household project.
Enter Mikuni and the now ubiquitous soy wrap. Someone suggested that to her in place of the standard seaweed wrap. The chef brought the first roll out and just like the old Life cereal commercials…SHE LIKES IT!!!
Now it’s tough for me to keep her out of the place.
I am not disappointed…
Sacramento senior pictures! Meet the wonderfully charming Chelsea. We had such a great time on her session, it went a little well…longer than expected. She also had some specific looks in mind (which we LOVE to hear about), and really was able to nail all of them. So full of life and excitement, it was just a pleasure to be around her. Thanks Chelsea for your input and energy, your portraits showed it!
Yep, it’s that time of year again! We are SO excited for this year’s Costumes & Cans event, which again will be held at the fabulous Silver Spoon Children’s Boutique (they moved, so make sure to go to their new location!). We had an amazing turnout last year and collected over 400 cans of food. We hope that this year will be even better, so be sure to invite all of your friends and family with little ghouls and goblins. This event is on a walk-in basis, and the first 2 hours are always the busiest, so if your kiddos are older and don’t nap, you might consider coming a little later if possible (just a suggestion based on last year!). New for this year is a costume contest, and the winner will receive prizes from Enchanted Images and the Silver Spoon!
This was the adorable Miss G’s third Bebe session with us, shortly after she turned one. This was a huge milestone session for her, as they always are, but especially so since she was getting ready to undergo open heart surgery shortly after this session. I’m so happy to report that everything went well and she’s doing great, a couple months later. G is just the sweetest little girl; I don’t think I have EVER heard her cry!
Just got back into town (San Diego) from our cruise to Cabo. Stef and I got to enjoy 5 nights out on the rolling (and rolling) ocean and a couple of relaxing days on the beach. It was a great time and we made some new friends. One of the days I decided to lug out the camera gear and lights to see what trouble I could get into. One of the dancers on the boat cabaret show was gracious enough to model and I got a few great shots before the rain and surf knocked us out. Here are a few of them. Thanks Rachael!
We will be out for a while while our site gets some maintenance. Back in a jiffy!
Meet Kaitlyn. With a full schedule and ASB responsibilities, she is a busy girl this year. I was very happy she took some time to meet with us to discuss her senior portraits. Kaitlyn said she wanted to be photgraphed in a location “doing something”, so off to K street we went. There was lots of “Hey, jump up on that” or “Get behind that” and she was game for all of it.
A fun day and even more fun images. Thanks Kaitlyn for the experience. Have a great year!
p.s. don’t ever try to stand someone in front of a moving light rail car just for a great image. Their horns are really loud…
