Cuteness comes in all sizes. This time it came perfectly packaged in a little 2 year old (he just turned 2 on March 17th) named Holden! He loved watching the planes go by, and was such a good sport (especially considering we started the shoot a bit late, due to them hitting a bit of traffic on the way, and were running out of light and had to rush from spot to spot). He is just so darn adorable!! They came dressed perfectly for a fun urban shoot. Loved my time with this super cute family!! :)

I know it’s only March, but I have clients who always book this far in advance for Fall, so i’ve already gotten emails asking about *FALL MINI SESSIONS*. Truth be told, I almost didn’t offer them this year (it’s a lot of work to figure out and plan around schedules of so many families (between jobs, sports, parties, weddings, etc, etc…as well as the dreaded issues of what happens when mother nature decides to take over and rain or whatnot (meaning having to RE-schedule and re-do it all over (haha)….BUT….I have so many wonderful families that asked me to do them, so I will be doing them, but ONLY offering 3 days this year (and only 3 spots vs 4 per day). Sooo….here we go! :)

Being a mother to a daughter, myself, I know the love that this mama has for her baby girl. I also know that our babies are growing up way too quickly….and there’s nothing we can do about it, but capturing the moment while we can, is just one step closer to attempting to freeze time. I wanted to make sure and capture that for Latanya and Mia. When we talked about locations, one place that came to mind was a place we all love… The New Children’s Museum, the only problem is that they don’t allow “photo shoots” here. Luckily for us, I have worked with TNCM for years (doing shoots for them), and Latanya, who started the San Diego Jr. Glee Club has performed there with her kiddos, so our friend who works at TNCM was able to get us permission to shoot there (thank you, Lani!). During our shoot, we also needed to update Mia’s head shots, and man, oh man, Mia’s smile and laugh is just perfection! I loved shooting these two…….

It’s always a compliment when a fellow photographer books me…..and even more so when it’s more than once! This awesome family drove down (again) from Orange County, and although two of our original plans (a cool little ice cream stand and the carousel) were foiled (due to construction), we still had fun and found plenty of spots to shoot. It ended up being a bit chilly that day (so I guess 3 plans were foiled since we thought about ending the session ON the beach..but brrr…everyone was freezing by then), but they were all troopers. I love that they weren’t afraid to show up in fun, bright colors. I LOVED it!

I first met and photographed Zoe when she was just 9 days old! She was this teeny, tiny newborn who was super alert and wide eyed pretty much the entire shoot :) Zoe is 3 now, was a little shy/nervous most of the shoot, and wanted mom, dad, and mainly her beloved stuffed puppy, “Lula” during the shoot, but I made sure to give her space and time, and eventually she gave me lots of sweet and adorable smiles, giggles, and even showed me her dance moves ;) We had a fun little walk around the block.
