I have a few solid color backdrops that I use in my studio here in Oceanside for headshots. I let the client choose, but what usually happens is that we choose together based what clothes they bring. Sometime people will show up in what they want to wear and not bring anything else (these people […]
Little boys. Need I say more? Whether they are being sweet and cuddly, or running around with wild abandon, little boys kinda-always steal my heart during their sessions. They never fail to bring the energy and fun to a shoot, and when there is more than one? Forget about it, and let’s have some fun! […]
Funny story, I took these lovely ladies’ photos last year. But what I didn’t know is that baby boy was already with us! He was snug as a bug in mamma’s belly growing getting ready to be loved like crazy. My goodness, he is adorable. You can tell he is doted on and loved to […]

People often think that family photos are just for young families with little kids. Every once in awhile, however, I get a call from some grown-up kids who want to gift portraits to their parents. I absolutely love when this happens, because it gives me all the warm and fuzzy feelings about being a parent. […]
Listen, sometimes you just need to put on a pink fairy dress and lay in a bed of flowers, ok? A girl after my own heart! She and I are on the same wavelength. It was her birthday, and mom wanted to do something fun to celebrate her as well as document who she is […]
