london & ryder

Meet little miss London and little mister Ryder. They are the sweetest. I had the privilege of taking little Ryder’s pictures a few months ago, I think he was about four months old. Now he’s a big boy sitting up and all. Big sister London is awesome at taking care of her little brother.

cousins, grandkids, buddies…

I love all these little people. These are all the little cousins on my side of the family. What a precious thing to be able to grow up playing with your cousins. They also have the best Nana in the world (my mom…she’s amazing). Nana, these pictures are for you, your grandkids in your backyard. We love you. Hope you enjoy! :)

And in case you wondered…. these kiddos were some of the most difficult to photograph. Because… there are 6 of them and because they’re my kids, nieces, and nephews and that’s just how it goes. We sweated for these, made tons of silly noises and faces, ran around, and bribed with popsicles. These images are far from perfect, but they capture life at this stage and I love that.

And the after picture, eating popsicles with Nana and Papa…

ethan & evan

Little brothers. Little boys. Awesomeness.

the simpson family

I had the privilege of meeting this sweet family at a wedding I photographed in Cabo San Lucas last September (that was a super fun wedding!). They drove from the bay area, thanks Linda, you guys are awesome! It was a pleasure to spend a little bit of time with your sweet family.

little miss madelyn, 6 days old

This little 6 day old baby girl weighed 6 pounds when she was born. What a precious little thing.

And check out her awesome lips….

yesterday’s workshop

We had another little workshop where I helped some lovely people learn how to use their fancy cameras on manual…. not on auto!! YAY! During our time learning about our cameras, we do little photo shoots so we can practice what we’re learning. I’m a “do-er”. I learn SO much better if I talk about it, touch the camera, and then actually DO it. So that’s how I teach these things. Only two more workshops this summer, then no more til 2011. One is already full, but there’s still some room in the one on Wednesday, August 18th. Sign up here.

Well, these were our lovely little models. Aren’t they so precious? This is Charlotte. She’s five months old and as sweet and smiley as ever.

This is Bella. She’s the fabulous big sister at two years old.

And this is Jackson. He’s the big brother and as sweet as can be.

little merrill

I had the privilege of photographing this little itty bitty newborn at only 4 something pounds, and now at 6 months old, he’s adorable and full of smiles. Seriously, completely full of smiles…. way too many smiley pictures to choose from. Love it…

ella, one month old

Ella in all her beautiful little glory. She came into my humble little studio with all her chunky rolls and did a fabulous job. Four weeks old is a tougher age to photograph. I prefer my babies freshly new at 5-10 days old. But we were up for the challenge. With the help of her mama’s fabulous milk and all our other little tricks…she slept somewhat well and photographed just beautifully. Ella, you’re stunning already…

precious pregnancy

This is my beautiful friend Kari and her gorgeous little family of soon to be 5! Seriously, pregnancy is such an awesome thing. Love this little family. Can’t wait to meet little Miss Maci.

the ayers family

Oh the lovely Ayers family… We love these people. My husband and I went to college with Nate and Amy. It was such a pleasure to photograph your wonderful family. Thank you!
