Just 10 days old...

This sweet baby boy was only 10 days old and couldn't be more perfect. Alright... I'm biased because he's my cousin's little boy!


And here's his big brother who is the perfect little "poser". The moment I broke out my camera he was flashing me big cheesy grins!

New favorite photo...

So I had a photoshoot with my favorite subjects... my kids. They get pretty tired of me sticking my camera in their faces, so I only had about 5 minutes to snap before they were sick of the whole experience. But I got a photo that I love and I think I'm going to blow it up huge for my house. It totally depicts my kids, their personalities and their relationship. So what do you think... color or black and white?

In need of a Christmas Portrait?

Am I the only one thinking about Christmas already? I love Christmas and it's never too early to start planning for it! So I'm running a special right now for all you people who like to get your Christmas cards out early ... if you book a regular session in the month of October, I will give you two of your favorite digital images for free (a $50 value)! I'm only offering FOUR of these sessions... so first come first serve! Tell your friends and family!

Professional Headshot...

Prior to my life as a photographer, I was restoration ecologist. I had the honor of working with a cadre of talented consultants, including Debra from EDAW. Debra was recently promoted to principal with the firm and she needed a new headshot for the website and press releases. I was more than happy to help her out, particularly because she's so photogenic to begin with. Congratulations on your promotion Debra! You deserve it!

A beautiful baby girl...

I had the pleasure of photographing Brenda and Frank's 6-week old baby girl. She was such a great little model and hardly cried at all. And she definitely couldn't have been much cuter.

SnugEase photo shoot...

I made a new friend at my Sacramento Mother's of Multiples (SMOM) meetings. Her name is Claudine and she is the inventor of the patented SnugEase bib! She has 7-year old TRIPLETS, so she learned first-hand the importance of a good bib. Anyway, she needed some photos of the bibs "in action" so I offered to put them to the test on my twins and take some pictures. Paige was having a bad morning, so Garrett had the honors. I'm happy to report that these bibs work great, and Garrett stayed clean despite his attempt of bathing in his sweet potatoes.

Off-camera flash...

I had the joy of having a "play date" with my friend and fellow photographer buddy, DeAnna. When we get together we like to experiment with new ideas and I had a hankering to try some off-camera flash pictures. So we took Samantha out during her shoot and tried it out. I loved the results and may permanently be an off-camera flash convert!
