My Family in Comfort

My lovely family continue to be my daily subjects. I love to photograph moments at home. I see opportunities of lifetime memories daily in the face of my husband and my son. If I had enough archive space I would probably photograph every second of my day with them in hopes that I don't forget the special moments that we share daily. But the truth is-as a photographer you have to learn a difficult rule...when to put the camera down. There are moments where I have to make a choice to just embrace the moment without capturing it...as a photographer, that's tough! But sometimes, like these moments, I see opportunity that can't be missed. I love photographing my family-they inspire the photographer in me.

Fun in SLO with Dave and Lily

Boy was this photo shoot fun! First of all, it's always a blast to be in SLO (San Luis Obispo). Great photography spots such as the Creek, beaches, the Mission, downtown shops and vibe. Then what fun it was to photograph my friends. It took them a while to finally get used to so much picture taking. But after about 2 hours of it-they finally warmed up! Boy was it a long photo session-changes, locations etc. But in the end, great portraits. I was not attracted to the mission at first util I saw the side fenced area with a cement long walk way that ended up being such an attractive place for portraits. You would never guess from these portraits how much goofing around there really was in between shots with this couple...lol...and how much making out! I think they forgot I was there half the time :-). It's part of the process of taking portraits of people who are in love. Plus this is what I love, photographing people and getting them to feel so comfortable that they are just themselves-those make for the best portraits. And they sure did! I await the renewing of the vowels of my friends. Congratulations Dave and Lily for 12 wonderful years of marriage together. May the Lord sustain you both for many years to come!

Baby Damian

Baby Damian was super easy! He's so adorable! I can't believe that he is only 3 months in these portraits. He has features of a 6 month old. I really enjoyed photographing Baby Damian and his parents.
