Baby G is another one of our Bebe members, and travels all the way from the Bay Area to come see us! G took a little while to warm up (literally and figuratively!), but finally relaxed and gave us some beautiful images. I absolutely love the first image of him on the infamous red chair; so did mom and dad, as they choose this for an art piece in his nursery. Such a sweet baby…can’t wait to see him next time!

The Downs came for baby J’s newborn portraits when he was just 2 weeks old, and he was teeny-tiny! Christine deserves an award for effort, as she drove by herself, in the pouring down rain, with baby J and big brother N, all way from Richmond. Then once she arrived and we started the session, little J wasn’t too happy. Suffice it to say, our patience and Christine’s won out, and we came up with some sweet images of him. As happens all too often, though, big brother stole the show, I’m afraid! Can’t wait to see them back for J’s next Bebe session!

It was my sister Paula’s birthday and what better place to celebrate than the new Hooley’s Irish Pub in Grossmont Center. What a place! They really did a nice job. Lighting, mood and food were all perfect. Guinness, corned beef, bangers, chips, Harp, mash, darts…and authentic Irish plasma TV’s!!
Paula is out from Kansas and we haven’t seen her for a while. We shared lots of stories, food and drinks….a great time.
Happy birthday Paula!!

We put a little something in Paula’s Lemonade…
Give me that sandwich…
Little Miss H, also known as “Princess and the Pink” (see image below), is one of our Bebe members. She was so content and happy during her 1st session with us, and I absolutely loved the pink bow she had in her hair. While we were thrilled with all of the images from this session, we knew there was something unique about her sleeping in the sea of pink material. James entered that image (titled above) in print competition at the Professional Photographers of Sacramento Valley and won Best of Show in January. Can’t wait to see what her next session brings!

We were invited to a birthday party by the Pulley’s at Wacky Tacky. What a crazy place! Perfect for our crazy girls. Clowns, ballons, pizza, cupcakes and everthing else that make little ones go wild. Thanks Pulley’s!!!






We photographed the Goering/Shirhall extended family right after Thanksgiving(um…yeah, we are really behind on blogging!), when they had come together from all over California to celebrate and, as a bonus, be photographed together. We have to thank Terri for organizing this extended group and doing such a great job on everyone’s clothing coordination. They were a fun family willing to follow us around to what may have seemed like odd places to be photographed…and it resulted in some fun images! Not shown here was a family dog that was present for some of the individual family portraits…posed like a champ! Don and Jean, you have much to be proud of in your beautiful family.



The latest in our Cutest Kid contest, miss Sophia. Mom brought an incredible array of clothing options and we just loved this dress. Sophia did fantastic! Vote for Sophia HERE.

Yet another cutie in our Cutest Kid Contest. Miss Savannah impressed us with her willingness to perform in front of the camera…and she’s not quite 4!!! Maybe she can give our Teagan some lessons…
Vote for Savannah HERE.

Better late than never I suppose…
Hey, I would have posted it Saturday but was busy with our super cool senior fashion shoot (more on that soon). Anyway, here is our little lovelies showing off their stuff. Hope you and yours shared some love.
