Schellenberg Family | San Diego Family Photographer

Allison is great. If you know her...you know what I mean. I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful gal in a special Mommy bookclub that I attended (scarcely) this summer. I'm so glad that I endured the chaos and went the couple of times that I was able to pack both kids in the car and drive to whatever destination by 10:00am. It was there that I first laid eyes on her...cloth diapers. Ha! No really, she totally got me started on cloth diapering Asher by telling me everything from what types to buy, how to wash them, how to store them, how to bargain on craigslist...etc. I am so grateful! I absolutely love it. Through her giving and kind spirit, our friendship sparked!

I am so blessed to have the opportunity to kick start my family portrait sessions this year with this wonderfully spectacular and beautiful family! Allow me to introduce the Schellenberg crew:





























Thank you so much Allison for allowing me to capture your precious family this year!

More Cute Kiddos!

Here are a few more of Abbey's adorable new friends...



















So cute! They were all so adorable and amazingly....cooperative! =)

Time to Play!

So, my little Abbey is part of a playgroup...and I decided that it might be fun to take some photos of her new friends.
It was so much fun capturing them. They were all so different...and adorable as always!
Here are just a few of the kids from that day.
Hopefully you wonderful mommies out there can find some good use for these precious ones!!! Oh, and a HUGE thanks to Erin for allowing us to hold playgroup in her beautiful backyard!

And a double thanks to Jen for the PERFECT ladder! Loved that thing!!!

Okay, this one just melted my heart!


More kiddos to come!!!

As for the Taylor Family...

They were fantastic!


This shoot was extra special because Alisa and I went to graduate school together. She was pregnant when we graduated...and three years later...I got to see her beautiful little girl for the first time!

Is she precious, or what?Alisa wanted some fun relaxed photos that really captured little Eleanor...I think we did it.Beautiful family! Those curls!

Okay, I couldn't have 'ordered' a better fall location than this! It's like the trees just knew we were coming!


Time for mom and dad to play dress-up too!
Is she proud of herself or what?! What a ham!Alisa, your family is beautiful...thank you for allowing me to 'play' with you guys!
