Many of you long time blog readers will remember this little girl’s big, beautiful eyes!

Now, she is a big 2 year old!

The first time I shot her it was in November of 2008.  Caroline is just two months younger than my little guy so it’s fun to see all the similarities.  All I can say it’s a good thing I watch a lot of Yo Gabba Gabba!  Those songs came in handy!

At Caroline’s first session it was just Caroline.  This time Mom and Dad came and participated and that always makes it so much more fun.  I love seeing the way parents and kids interact.  They are the ones who know their children best and can get the best smiles out of them  Caroline’s Mommy, Nicole, and I went to college together and were even in the same sorority!  Go Bruins!

I’m excited to be spending more time with this awesome family at Nicole and Jeremy’s wedding in August!  Thank you so much for the referral, Nicole!  And hopefully we’ll be seeing you at some football games this fall as well!  Here’s your slideshow!

Every time Thomas would throw Caroline up in the air Nicole just about had a heart attack.  It was so funny!

I first spoke with Daniell last Spring.  Daniell and Daniel were planning their Hawaiian wedding and they were interested in having me do their engagement pictures.  Unfortunately I couldn’t fit them in before their big day.  But, was I surprised when Daniell contacted me last Fall to say she was pregnant!  How could I forget a couple with the names of Daniell and Daniel?  I think it’s so cute how their names are so similar!  Daniell booked me for her maternity and newborn sessions right when she first found out she was pregnant.  Luckily with that much notice I was able to fit them in this time

Daniell and Daniel have been together for 5 years and married for 9 months.  The two of them met in Las Vegas of all places while Daniel was celebrating his birthday and Daniell was there on a bachelorette party.  They dated long distance the first year while Daniell lived in Arizona and Daniel lived in LA.  Once they knew it was meant to be Daniell moved out to LA and the rest is history

Baby Hannah is set to make her arrival in May and I can’t wait to meet her and take her first pictures!  I’m sure her session will be a little less eventful than the maternity session.  We shouldn’t have any encounters with coyotes or bugs in her nursery  Until then, here’s the slideshow!

When another photographer contacts you to shoot their pictures it’s very flattering, but at the same time super nerve wracking.  Photographers know what they want and it puts a lot of pressure to do something fun and creative.  But, it’s also very flattering because out of all the amazing photographers in Southern California they are picking you to shoot their pictures!

I met Megan about a year ago.  She signed up to do a mentoring session with me and we had so much fun!  Megan’s business has really grown over the past year and she’s just about finished with a new blog and branding.  How exciting!

We had a ton of fun on this shoot!  What’s really funny though is that Megan lost her keys at the very beginning of the shoot.  We can laugh about it now, but it wasn’t funny at the time!  We looked for them for a few minutes, but we were losing light so I told her she just had to forget about it and focus!  The gates to the area we were shooting in closed at 5.  Once we were done shooting we had about 30 minutes to take down the props and find the keys.  We couldn’t find them anywhere!  As Megan was calling a dealership to see if she could get a new set of keys I found them!  And right at that time the guard was coming to close the gate!  It was a close call!

If you’re in the San Diego area definitely check out Megan’s site for your next family session or wedding.  Not only is she an awesome photographer she’s also a very sweet and caring person who puts a lot of thought into everything she does.  Thank you for choosing me, Megan, for your headshots.  It’s an absolute honor!  Oh, and thanks for the Sprinkles Cupcake!  Yummy!

*** And special thanks to Carina from Flawless Faces for doing such an amazing job on Megan’s makeup!
