Benjamin | San Diego Baby Photographer

We’re still catching up on blogging some of the sessions that we did earlier in the year. I can’t believe it took so long to get this posted.   Kirsten contacted us on a referral from Sara and Ed. You may remember the family and baby photos we did with them and their beautiful little boy and his cool monkey pillows.

Kirsten has something that we do not.  Kirsten has GRACE.  We have accepted that WE are not graceful.  The bruise on my toe, the noises I make when I sit (or stand up), the coffee drips on Julia’s shirt and still bent glasses from a recent bicycling fall…all signs that God did not bless either of us with an overabundance of the graceful gene.  That’s okay. We’ve come to accept that as who we are. Hopefully our kids will learn someday to accept that of themselves too.  We gave Ainsley the nickname “Crash”, for a reason.  However, when Kirsten walks, she glides.  But it wasn’t only the outward sense of fluidity in motion, it’s internal too.  She has that balance of confidence and down-to-earth-ness (yes! my blog, I can make up phrases.).  She’s a trained and accomplished dancer who recently left the Sacramento Ballet Company to move to San Diego.  Her grace clearly carried over into her new role as a mother.  While she mentioned the usual nervousness that comes with being a new mom, it is obvious that she is a natural and LOVES the new role.  Luke’s quiet strength and casual demeanor helps create a very comfortable home to be in.

Here’s a few shots of baby Benjamin and his parents from our shoot back in mid-May.
