For those of you who think you need to change locations when you book your next shoot with me, think again.

Today’s lifestyle shoot with the F. Family proves you don’t need to change a thing.  And why not?

Because everything else has changed:  you, your kids, your outfits (hopefully!), and even elements at your location (foliage, flowers, weather).  And don’t forget me too!  I get creative ideas all the time and may even have a new lens to play with. 

In case you want to compare, check out some images from the F. Family’s last shoot in June 2009.

A Verizon Ad

You know the ad, right?!  Maybe it’s a different cell carrier.

I like the linear theme of the image — from the doors to the people.

Half Glare

How cool is it to have glare on only half your image?  It looks like I gradually faded the colors on the left side of the image in post-processing!

A Good Sport

Big brother Kai was a good sport by letting his little sisters play with his face!

Just Like Mommy

Little Nina has one of the sweetest smiles… one that makes you smile when you look at her.  This image proves whom she gets it from!

The Kids

Daddy’s Girls

I’ve shot the F. Family for a couple years now and I have to say, this is one of my favorite images of Alex.  He looks genuinely happy to be kissed by both his girls!

If you live in the Bay Area, you have most likely heard of Super Franks, if not already frequented there!

It is THE nicest children’s entertainment center I’ve ever been to!  With real furniture, like leather club chairs, a Starbucks counter, real food that actually tastes good, and themed rooms that divide children by age groups, it is the best place to visit where everyone can enjoy themselves — toddlers, teens AND adults!

Yesterday’s commercial shoot at Super Franks was all about the little ones!

Super Franks has two rooms dedicated to toddlers and preschoolers:  Taught Town Safari Adventure Room and Taught Town Village.  And there is also the Mini Gym, appropriately called Sherman’s Tank because one large wall is glass, so parents can sit comfortably outside the room as kids go hog wild in the safe and staff-monitored room full of soft, fun toys and plasma cars!  At certain times, it is reserved for little ones, and other times, it is geared towards the older kids with zip lines!  You can check their schedule for times.

Ok, sharing some of my faves from the day…

The New Deluxe Slide

And new ridable pony!

Look at all the monkeys!  Oh, and there are inflatable ones on the side! 

Taught Town Safari Adventure Room

Sherman’s Tank

The staff get to know the kids and enjoy seeing the same faces, as you can see here!

These little girls are listening intently to Frank (yes, THE Frank)!

Some kids kept coming towards me — or in this case, crawling towards me — when they saw me taking photos!  Tee hee.

It warms my heart to see dads playing with their kids.

If you haven’t been here yet and you have kids, you must check it out!
