Deigo from San Diego

What do I love just as much as wonderful families who book me time and time again.. yes you ask me this I know.. well I love their friends who call me and book sessions too! My wonderful the Gabaldon's sent this beautiful family my way and I quickly headed down to San Diego! The Villanueva family were so much fun to hang with for the day down at Balboa Park! I had been wanting to shoot there for a while. Little Diego was a blast and Kathryn and Danny are suer cool parents. Check out their slideshow here

Jaden Terrific 3-year-old!

I am so blessed to have clients that continue to ask me to take pictures during those key moments in the lives of their families. I have had the amazing pleasure of photographing the Gabaldon Family for more than a year. When Stephannie told me about her middle son, Jaden, needing his birthday pics for this year I was so excited to get to see them all again and even more to have some one on one time with this amazing little guy! Most moms to a 3-year-old boy know how much fun and laughter go into each day and the level of energy is defiantly part of the fun! Lucky me having a boy of the same age had me well prepared for this shoot :) We of course, because I am the weather queen, met on the first super hot weekend of the year-it must have been over 100 out. I was sweat-en it up, but Jaden was the best and didn't let the heat slow him down! He was all smiles for our hour together and he was more than pleased with all the props and toys his amazing mommy brought along. Here is Jaden's fun little slideshow

Gotta love shoes! Especially kid shoes!


Lovin' the lollipop and being 3!

We really had a lot of fun and I can't wait to see the whole family later this year!



happy summer!

Look who is turning 1 !

Over the past year (well almost a year) I have had the great pleasure of taking pictures for the Gabaldon family. It all started when Stephannie called me last year to get some new born pictures of her youngest son, Justin. So, he is alomost a year-old and I was so pleased to hear that Justn's mommy wanted more pics of him. We had a blast at Craig park in Brea with this little early walker. He started at 9.5 months! WOW! We had sooooo much fun, he got a cupcake and a cookie and balloons! He will be one next month. Happy Birthday big boy Justin! I have tooo many pictures that I can say are my faves! Here is a slideshow and please, I hope you enjoy these as much as I did taking them.

Birthday Party at Gymboree

Last month I had a super fun time at the 4th birthday party of this little cutie. It was totally not fair to call this work because I had a blast running around for 2 hours playing and taking pictures of some amazing little people!!!! Here are just a few from the day.

The Gabaldon Family
