I just got a call…
I was chosen for the Heidi Mauracher Award! It is given by Professional Photographers of California and Golden Gate School of Professional Photography!
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… I won, I won!
I am very excited (if you couldn’t tell).
Baby Stella, 1.5 years old
It was based on overall achievement, not from a specific photograph. [...]
This handsome little boy, Owen (3 yrs old), is in my daughter’s preschool class. This morning’s shoot was focused on him and his younger sister, Stella (1.5 yrs old).
Here are some of my favorites from this morning…
In this photo below, the focus is on Owen’s big brown eyes. And the balloons give this photo a [...]
This morning I had a 9-person photoshoot. Everyone looked like they could be a model, including the kids and grandma!
It is hard to believe… Brenda turned 70 this Thursday! I would be thrilled if I could look that good when I turn 60!
Her sons, Peter and Kenny, got their families together to celebrate Brenda’s big [...]
Have you ever been so connected to someone that you didn’t even need to talk in full sentences because the other person already knows what you’re going to say?
A typical conversation between me and Myra
Me: Gosh, look at the…
Myra: Yea, I know! Isn’t it…
Me: Definitely! How about we…
Myra: Okay, let’s do it!
Me and Myra [...]
*Sigh* Where do you have an Easter Egg hunt when you lack a yard and the diligence to book an Easter Egg hunt at the local park in advance?
The community pool, of course! Hey, that’s much more creative than last year’s livingroom hunt!
Melia gave me advice before I hid the eggs: “Don’t put [...]
My daughter had one of her best friends from her preschool come over today for some Easter egg fun!
Ryan is 4 1/2 yrs old and has the most amazing eyes! I couldn’t resist picking up my camera…
When my daughter saw this photo (below), she said this photo is funny because Ryan’s mouth is covered by [...]
Newborns are incredible… they grow at lightening speed! All newborns should have “Super” in front of their name.
Super Bella was itty bitty one week and then pow, she put on some chub! I term this: “chubbalicious”!
Bella’s very first shoot was when she was happily lounging in mommy’s womb back in December 2008. Click here to [...]
I met Suhani when she just turned 1 year old back in November 2008.
Our photoshoot was scheduled for 9am, and at 9:01am, it started raining! The overcast was perfect for our photoshoot and we thought the rain would arrive later in the day. Wrong! So, a few reschedule sessions later, here we are! (Click here [...]
My little dancer had her first performance ever last night!
Melia was a student of KinderDance and had the greatest dance teacher, Mrs. Terrie Guevarra. It was a small class of students from ages 3 to 5. Melia was the 2nd youngest.
Melia was so darling, and the dance performance was so sweet! My insides turned to [...]
Miss Kaitlyn (7 1/2 years old) visited us for 11 days. (Kaitlyn is my stepdaughter who lives with her mom, stepfather, and 2 sisters in Utah.)
We see her once a year, which isn’t very often, so we really value our short time with her. It makes me sad whenever I think about it.
We liked to [...]
