We usually skip the traditional school photo every year. Instead, we take each of the kids out on (or near) their birthday and do a quick photo shoot. This year’s 9 year old shoot was pretty brief. We were on our way to my parents house for dinner (and the amazing chocolate cake) and made...

Can you make fart noises? | San Diego Photographer
I love to hang out with kids. They bring an energy and unpredictability to photo sessions that is unmatched. This often makes parents anxious and nervous, but we’ve learned that it can also add fun and laughter. This family is in the process of leaving San Diego and while we (and many others) are saddened...
Twins x2 – preview | Rancho Bernardo Photographer
Over the next few days I’m hoping to blog a few of our sessions from this past weekend. On Friday, we met up with an amazing family at a cute little park/pond in Rancho Bernardo. You may remember the twin newborns we photographed a few months ago…well, they are growing! Stay tuned for more photos...
Brothers | Balboa Park Photogapher
Last weekend we met these two brothers and their parents at Balboa Park. I think we especially enjoyed this session because they reminded us of our own kids so much. The older one is quieter, gentler, thoughtful and analytical. His younger brother is full of spunk, has a quick sense of humor, and very athletic. ...

Just a quick sneak peek of these amazing girls from their family session last weekend. More to come….
So Cal fun | San Diego Photographer
Growing up in Southern California suburbs means that I spent hours on my bike and skateboard as a kid. A few weeks ago I realized that our kids might be missing out on a part Southern California culture. They didn’t have skateboards. With some help from a friend, I was able to be “the best...
Jett – 3 weeks | San Diego newborn photographer
Newborn photo shoots are different than any other type of shoot. We always aim to have fun, be comfortable, and just relax during every shoot, but there is a sense of peace that inevitably comes during each of our visits to a family with a newborn. This was our 3rd time photographing this family. By...
Learning from the Master – Shooting Kids Workshop with Jay Reilly
Last Friday I got to live Jason’s dream and attend a Jay Reilly workshop. Jason was insanely jealous, as he should be. I spent the day getting lighting, camera and business tips from Jay Reilly and hanging out with a group of great photographers. We used Artist Alley in Oceanside for our first photoshoot with...
Kids, dogs, and family – sneak-peek | San Diego Photographer
Two months ago we added a new member to our family. Roxy is 2 year old yellow lab that we found at the shelter. I really didn’t know that I was ready for a dog again until just before we found Roxy. We had our other dogs, Max and Aspen, for 15 years. This is...
sneak-peak | San Diego photographer
I’ve mentioned it before, but we just love when we get to photograph families several times over the years. We photographed this family a few times several years ago when there were only 2 children. Last week we were able to visit them again in their home and get a few shots of the kids....
