This past weekend we (read: Jason, without Julia’s permission) offered some some “Celebrate Summer” photo sessions. The first to grab a session was my school friend, Melissa. Melissa rocks our drama department by putting on some absolutely amazing performances with 12 and 13 year olds. Her husband, Garrett, is the Technical Theater Coordinator for the Poway Center for the Performing Arts. I hadn’t done a session by myself in a while, so I called one of my photography friends, Arlene, to go with me. After about 3 u-turns (typical for my driving, even with the iphone gps) we arrived at a beautifully century-aged home tucked away in Escondido. I ended up with a ton of photos, so bear with me, cause this post may have a lot of photos….
This kiddo is just adorable. You may remember him from his time on American Idol and questions for Adam Lambert. With parents both involved in theater, you can imagine his wonderfully gregarious personality.


This young lady loved her bubbles…her smile, gorgeous eyes, and beautiful hair will clearly drive the boys crazy and her parents nervous some day.



how can we not take photos with a porch swing….how awesome.

a few of just the boys….

and finally, the whole family….

Thank you agan, Mel and Garret. You have a beautiful home and a wonderful family.
…and to Arlene, our biggest fan: You’re awesome. Thanks again.
