San Diego Workshop | San Diego Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Oh my goodness...I can't believe its been this long since I've posted! Well, between the wedding season and my family's camping trips...I haven't had a minute to keep you all up to date! So sorry about that...

Good news is...I have lots of fun stuff to blog in the next couple of weeks! :)

Starting with THIS! Drumroll please...I'm so excited to announce that I'll be joining the fabulous Melissa Koehler in hosting our first Workshop Retreat in San Diego! Many of you have been asking for this, so we are just ecstatic that it has all come together so nicely! We have put together an awesome program for you with lots of valuable instruction (from two professional photographers) and hours of hands-on shooting experience with models! The space is limited, as we'd like to create a unique and beneficial experience for all of you. So please let us know soon if you plan on joining us! We'd LOVE to have you!

It's a Boy! | San Diego Photographer

Jamie and Brenda came to me a few weeks back to take some maternity photographs. I figured I should post them...since their son was born this past weekend!

Their session was so fun! We took the photos in this amazing Carlsbad home. It was such a beautiful home, and as you'll see later...the yard was also landscaped fantastically! Needless-to-say, we shot for hours because there were so many great places.


Brenda was stunning...

She was so easy to photograph! She just glowed! :)




Their session was particularly fun because they had chosen not to find out what they were having! Not many people have the patience to do that anymore! :)

I love this photo of the two (I mean three!) of them.




I just LOVED the lighting coming in on this shot...


And now, to the backyard!
This is one of my absolute FAVORITES from the day. Not much editing done to this image...just some amazing landscaping with fantastic lighting! Their expressions are just the cherries on top!


Some fun in the pool...
Jamie kept threatening to push Brenda in the pool. It was really cute to see them interact! They are so excited to be parents!




I really love this shot as well...


Brenda, you were absolutely stunning...and Jamie, you were such a great sport to endure such a looooong photoshoot! Not many guys could hang for that long!
Congratulations on your new baby boy! I'm so excited for you!! :)

Alright....I admit it!

I'm a terrible blogger!

My good friend Melissa pointed out to me how many of you regularly check my blog...I'm sorry I haven't posted something new in so long! I vow to try harder... =)

Starting with....(drumroll please...)

Susan Meissner!

This is one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met! She is a Christian Mystery Writer, who contacted me to do her new headshots for her next book getting published by Random House, Inc. in 2008. She has written several amazing novels...and is again, one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met!

She was so fun to photograph. Here are a few of my favorites.

I know this next one isn't a 'headshot', but I couldn't help myself. It looked 'mysterious' to me! I thought maybe she could use it for something. =)

Isn't she beautiful?

I was such an honor to photograph you, Susan!
