Taco Time

I saw this SNL vid that just cracked me up, especially being from Cali.

Gina Steelman Teaser

I had a great time doing a maternity shoot for Mike Steelman's wife Gina today. We tried to go a little grungy first then softened things up at the park in the last moments of daylight. I'm getting sick and feeling like crap so I'll leave it at that for now and post more soon. Thanks Gina & Mike.

Gavin & Alexis (Blessed Twins)

At long last here is the slideshow for the shoot I did with Gavin & Alexis for their mommy Charlotte, who by the way, just had her first Mother's Day. Congrats Char!

This was my first fully baby shoot so I was very excited to do it and happy with the results. Gavin & Alexis truly are miracle babies and they were a ton of fun to work with.

You can see the previous posts about them and see a bit of the rough journey they went through while spending months in the NICU. It's amazing to see these current photos while looking back and seeing them on life support.

Enjoy, pass it on, and leave me some comments (I could use a little encouragement after my first real baby session!)

Thanks for watching and thank YOU Charlotte.

Hendricks Family

Today the rain held out and the cloud cover worked perfect for a mid day family shoot for my friend Katie's family. It was a group of ten with three totally awesome little ones. We shot up at Katie's gorgeous home in Las Palmas. The garden was great for some nice backdrops. When we were done with the more formal stuff I had some fun shooting some candid pics of the kids. I have to say they are by far my favorite. Once again I'm finding myself having a blast working with kids, especially when they start hamming it up for the camera. They always get a kick out of instantly being able to see themselves in the back of the camera.

Here's a few for a sneak peak while I work on the rest.

Thanks Katie! I had a blast.
