In the Studio

We couldn't decide which style of photography we wanted to do to celebrate Sofia's growth, so, we decided to do a little of both. Here are a few images from the studio. Sofia really was so much fun during this session. When we were out-and-about there was so much for her to take in and process, but in the studio it was warm and simple, and all about her, mommy and daddy. She has some of the best expressions, she's a beautiful girl!

I think that's how portrait photography should be! You, your family, the environment; just enjoying yourself and eachother.

Spring Contest

Spring is almost here! The days are longer, warmer and wildflowers are in bloom everywhere. It might be because I'm a spring baby, I was born the first day of Spring long ago... but I LOVE this time of year. It's gorgeous outside and I'm dying to get out and create art, with you in it of course! So I'm gifting a free portrait session* to whomever can come up with the most beautiful Spring location. Keep in mind I'm a sucker for big open spaces and fields of wildflowers. All you have to do is: 1) sign up to "follow" this blog, just sign in by entering an email and password with google and 2) leave your choice of location in a comment below this post. I'm excited to see what you all come up with. Be creative and keep your eyes open for good spots while driving around town (but drive safe!). I'll announce the winner Monday March 22, when Spring has officially begun. Something fun to start your week off. Tell your friends and thanks for participating! Look forward to seeing you!

*gift includes portrait session, photographer time and talent + soul mini-book ($200 value) *prints or portrait cd purchased seperately

Dede + Milani + Baby

Some dear friends of my will be having their second baby soon, a baby boy. They're so excited and I wish them all my love as their family grows.

At the Ranch

The Brolaskis make you feel at home right away.  And what a beautiful place to call home. Dogs, cats, horses and family.  A surfer family not far from the coast, tucked away in the wild mustard.  What a beautiful afternoon!
