I had a fun little mini-Mother/Daughter session out at Mission Bay while I was in San Diego a couple of weeks ago. (Aaah, the 75 degree perfect weather gets me in such a dreamy mood now...especially since it's been about 110 to 115 here the last few days!!! Yes, feel free to be grossed out by those numbers -I am.)

It was a gorgeous evening out on the bay where Christina and her two year old baby girl Caroline spent some quality mother/daughter time together while I snapped away!

Here's Caroline, being the adorable little munchkin that she is.


And off she goes!!! It was quite a scene with mom running after her and me right behind with my camera. =)


Sand?


Yes, please!


I think these are the times that your kids will remember when they grow up. Play time with momma. (Though my memory doesn't go anywhere before age 5, and even that's pretty sketchy.)










And I leave you all with a kiss.

New Album Alert!

I am lovin' this new hardcover coffee table flushmount album my studio's now carrying. The pages are THICK, sturdy and lie completely flat, the printing is done beautifully, and the quality (hand put together) is outstanding. I'm planning on making all my personal travel albums using this company! It'll be such an eye catcher for guests whether on the coffee table or bookshelf.

Here's an album made using the Tran Family's photo session.
















What an awesome way to keep your memories accessible to you at all times. And its yumminess makes you want to pick it up and devour it every time you see it!

I really wanted to title this post Coolest Family Ever, but thought I'd pay homage to their family name first. Even though the photo session began at 6:30 in the morning (thanks to the desert heat!), I loved every minute of it because of how fun-loving and sweet this family is. It was hilarious seeing the boys roll out of the car in the parking lot, looking half asleep, but they were troopers and put on some great smiles for the camera!

This session was a Mother's Day gift for their mom Jennifer, and it also happened to be Matt & Jenn's 29th anniversary as well as Father's Day that day. That's some mastermind planning going on there.

Ok, less talk, more pics...from left to right we have Anthony, Adam, Matt, Emily, and Jennifer.

Adam's headed to Brazil to live, Emily's a practicing lawyer here, and Anthony is on his way to NYU this fall. Did I mention how awesome their parents are for raising such amazing kids?

Every few years, the Taylors get an official family photo. This would be it for '09.

Thank you Taylor family for your contagious positive vibes. The banter you all had going on definitely showed what a fun and loving family you are!

My good friend and fellow photographer Daisy Varley just had her second baby girl and figured it'd be a great time do a family photo session while I was in San Diego last week. It was definitely good times during this family session on Mission Bay. =)

We start off tame. John, Daisy, Sofia, and baby Gianna.






And then we have some fun!


Sofia has a big spot in my heart. I've watched her grow from a 6 month old baby to a talking 3 1/2 year old sweetheart.


She's absolutely adorable & I love playing with her! We made sandcastles on Mission Beach for awhile and she called me her best friend. =) When I left to play a game of volleyball and came back, she already had a new best friend-so much for that!








Gianna's only two months old and such a good baby.










Flying baby would swoosh by every once in a while during the shoot.




Now we really get down & dirty. Look at Daisy eyeing my logo while she's at it.






Daisy, finally getting to be herself.






There was a second where I was secretly praying that Sofie wouldn't splash water my way.








Aaaaah!!! I love her!!! =)








Hope you guys enjoyed this post as much as I did when I was shooting!!!
