Such a fun family!

I had a blast yesterday on the beach with this wonderful family that were visiting from AZ. I knew the dad oh, more than 20 years ago! The weather wasn't cooperating in typical San Diego fashion, we had a marine layer that wouldn't stop. But we still had a good time.

Here's Mr. "J", realizing, that "Hey, the sand isn't too bad!"Mom & Miss "I" taking a stroll. Amazing in the fact that this energetic 4 year was busy rock collecting most of the time.


And don't worry you two, I got respectable shots as well, but Dave, you were tooo funny.




I'm still sorting and editing more, but wanted to get the sneak peek up for you all. And don't worry, there's some shots with color but I'm loving how these are in black and white....

I promised more civilized so here we go!

The lovely Miss Z looking lovely perched a tree stump....


Little Miss N loving on her beautiful Momma..



and finally here's Trish loving on baby-to-be....



Trish, if you're reading this (and I HOPE you are) your gallery should be up by early next week.

I'm back!

I've neglected my blog for too too long. And I had so much fun with the "B" girls today! I've known the mom since we were pregnant (her with her 1st, mine with my only). She's expecting again so we got together today for some fun at Zolo Garden in Balboa Park.

Here's just a sneak peek of what we did....

Miss "N"



and her bigger sister (who'll be 5 in August!!), Miss "Z"


We had a lot of fun and I hope the laundry wasn't too much work Trish! I'll post a couple more civilized peeks soon, but I couldn't resist these two!

Offering some new stuff!

So, I've been getting some inquiries into my landscapes and still lifes. As a result I've launched a new gallery on the site. "It's All About Life" -- this will be growing section of the things I see around me. Be sure to check it out and if you're interested in ordering any prints, head on over to "Client Proof" and enter "Art" as the name and "life" as the password and then shop away!

I hope you enjoy it! And if there's anything you'd like to see in there, let me know and I'll do my best to add it!

Thinking of new things...

Well, I was planning on trying to pull off a Valentines Limited Edition session, but as life tends to do, it went and got in the way. So, now I'm planning way way ahead. I am going to do a Spring Limited Edition, I've got a great spot already picked out I just need to nail down the times and days. Oh, and the packages too.

Some things to know about my Limited Edition sessions
There will be a set session fee and this fee will include prints of a pre-determined amount. As the photographer and artist I will pick which prints will be included in your final package. I will post all images taken in a password protected gallery so that if you wish to order additional prints you will be able to.

Digital Prints
I am still deciding on pricing options for digital prints. It may be a per picture price or a full session price. It may require a minimum print order. Like I said, I'm still deciding and working on it. I know this is a popular thing these days but more and more photographers that I encounter have done away with offering, so I am learning and contemplating.

happy 2008!

We're back! It was a long trip but Bryan had a blast playing in the snow and exploring more of Chicago!

So, I'm working on getting back into the swing of things. One thing I'm working on putting together is a Valentines Day mini-shoot. I think I've decided on the card design that I'll be using (only one this time) and package prices. Go ahead and leave me a comment here, on the website or in email and let me know if you're interested.

hate to cut this short but today is a day primarily with my "Mommy Hat" on.
