Calling Class of 2009!!!

Congrats to all of you Seniors out there! One more year left...and lots of memories to be had! =)

Since many of you have contacted me about Senior Portraits...I've thumbed through my images and have selected one of my 2008 graduates to showcase.
Meet Janelle.

We had such a blast shooting her Senior pictures. Isn't she just too cute?






And then we spiced things up a bit...




And then a little more...








And then we went for SUPER spicy!



Isn't she SUPER HOT! ;) Giggles and all...


Thanks Janelle! We had such a blast....
Congratulations on graduating!!!

Flash Back...

My friend Carly contacted me this winter to do a family photo of her, the hubby, Scott...and their baby, Tucker.
Of course, I said, 'of, course!'
So, when they got sick of sitting around Arizona...looking at the dirt....they came to San Diego for their photoshoot (and I guess for a Thanksgiving feast at her mom's house. wink wink!)

Shooting them brought back memories of their fabulous wedding...
So, since that was before my blogging days, AND I took some of my FAVORITE of all favorite photos then...
I figured I'd show a few from their wedding in November of 2006.....

The details of this wedding were just amazing...



But the bride was even more astonishing!



Lots of cheer in the bridal room!


Okay, so this is one of my favorites...
After she pulled up in her horse drawn carriage (I know! So amazing!)....she had everyone around her helping her down from the carriage....helping with her veil...taking video,
....so much going on...
...yet she just seemed to glow!

My favorite photo, everyone...

The ceremony was as perfect as the sky.


Afterwards....just a few shots of everyone hanging out.
The flower girl was so precious.


This cracked me up...
"Can I please just be with my WIFE?"
So desperate...
...enough to be holding a flower basket.

Spirited group!

As for the bride and groom...


On to the party!

They were (ARE!!) so happy together!

Here it is, the finale, and my second all time favorite photo...
Again, they just seem to be in another place...
in another time...
just by themselves.



AND....here is their baby!
He was so cute...but as my first 'pet' photoshoot...quite a challenge!


Playing with mommy and daddy...


Kudos to you pet photographers...its so hard to get them to look at you!
WAY harder than kids! =)

Now for their Christmas Card...


I had a lot of fun with you guys! I'm glad you came all the way back from Arizona for your Christmas pictures! Looking forward to next year!

Baby #2????

Kids...or Monkeys?

I LOVE this family!
Allow me to introduce you to the Wagensellers. They are my neighbors from my highschool years. I remember when both of these kiddos were born...I can't believe how big they are now! They have grown into the most amazing kids...so talented...so smart....and SO loving! It's so cool to see how well they get along with one another.

Anyhow, we went to the park to have a little fun...and to try to capture something for their Christmas Card.



So the kids love to climb trees! These were a couple of their mom's favorites...

I loved this! Classic Blake!








So fun! Of course...this is one of MY favorites!

I had such a blast with you guys! Can't wait to do it again!

'Tis the Season!

So, I was so excited to photograph some of my favorite people to kick off the holiday season! My good friend, Melissa Koehler and her beautiful family met me up in Poway to take a few shots before Aiden's One Year Birthday Party. It was so much fun!
We had to go to extreme measures to get Aiden to smile for the camera!
Aiden LOVES his mommy!
I think he was done here....he's waving goodbye!
Thanks you guys! It was a lot of fun!
