At just 9 days old, Zoe was one of the most alert babies I have met. Not only was she awake pretty much the entire session (I think she *maybe* fell asleep for 1 minute at the most?), but she would literally follow me with her eyes if I moved. Although she never fully fell asleep...I managed to sneak in some shots that made it look like she did ;) Zoe is adorable, tiny and loved to pose. We caught her with her hands posed behind her head quite a few times. She even waved at me a few times.....

Yesterday morning I met up (in the blazing heat and runner filled crowds...haha) with a wonderful group of 8.  I've photographed some of them before and after that shoot, they bought a gift certificate so that the entire family could do a shoot together. This was their first family shoot outside of a studio.....and hopefully it's just the first of many :) 

The real star of the show was miss Taylor. She is always a pleasure to photograph and never fails to bust out her model poses.......

The 4 sisters........

My Sunday afternoons/evenings are always spent with my family, but before I head off, I wanted to post one little sneak peek for the adorable S sisters from this morning. More to come tomorrow or Tuesday :) 

It looks like summer is FINALLY here! I guess we can save the baths for bath time now and start jumping into pools, sprinklers, spray parks and heading to the beach!  If you are a client with an upcoming shoot and have a pool at your house or even a cool front of backyard with grass...let's do some fun shots in the backyard with the pool or in the front or backyard with sprinklers! It's time to have some FUN!!!! 

Mike & Karyn are the wonderful owners of http://www.floatiesswimschool.com/ in Poway. Since they live and grew up in Poway, we started off at the park and then headed to their house afterwards. The original plan was to have pics of them jumping into their pool and then just having fun in and around the pool/backyard....but it ended up being pretty cold and overcast, so they decided to pass on jumping in since the water was freezing (we did get their feet in though!).   Their little boy Nash (age 3) is hilarious. He was a total bargain-meister the whole time since dad brought a small pack of Gummi Bears as "incentive"  ;) No matter what # his dad would offer, he would up that number. Really though, he probably didn't even need the bribery, he did great and was a smiley pants throughout the shoot :)  

Mommy's favorite face that Nash makes (on command I might add!) ;) .......
