The Jeremiah's- Harveston Community Park

We had the joy of working with the Jeremiah family this year. A short background on Daniel and Merae.. My brother was best friend's with Daniel and went through grade school and high school together. Merae grew up with my sister and have both been great friends throughout the years. They now live up in Temecula and have the cutest "all american" family. They have four kids and they are each equally cute!
Merae and Daniel are the sweetest couple. We had so much fun shooting them. We took the pictures at an adorable community called Harveston. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas, and are so excited to hang out with our new/old friends now that we live in San Diego.

Brian & Karrie - Mission Trails Park

I have been holding on to these photos for some time since they were actually taken back in July. But leave it to Karrie, who is an amazing designer for Posh Paperie, to set up her shoot for their Christmas card that far in advance. Each year she designs the best Christmas card for her and Brian. So fun to be a part of the process. For those who got ours, all credit goes to Karrie for putting it together.

The Inzunzas- Rustic Rooster (Encinitas)

Each Thanksgiving my family camps at San Elijo State Beach with a bunch of families including our amazing cousins, the Inzunza's. Joey and Kristi are amazing parents of FOUR beautiful girls (Ali, Sophie, Jackie, and the new addition of Lily). I was so excited to take pictures of all them while we were camping that week. We decided to head into the downtown area of Encinitas because it is a pretty cool little strip. Immediately this shop found my attention because of the bright colors and knew I wanted to take some pictures there. The place is called the Rustic Rooster Interiors and if you are ever in the area you have got to check it out. It is a mother and daughter run business that sells awesome vintage furniture along with interior design skills. The lady's were super nice and let us have our way in front of their shop and even in their flower box for some shots of Lily. Thanks to the ladies at Rustic Rooster and to Ali, Sophie, Jackie, and Lily for making it such a fun shoot.

Zlotnik Family- Old Town

Over Thanksgiving week I was fortunate to fill up almost every single day I was home from school with a photo shoot. So many families wanting to get pictures for Christmas cards. Because I was in the last weeks of school trying to finish term papers and finals, I am just now posting the pictures from one of the shoots that took place. Over the couple days I will be adding plenty more pictures from the thousands of pictures taken within the past few weeks. It was such a great experience working with the Zlotnik's whom Brianne and I met for the first time. Their adorable children Nora and Gabriel had the most stunning eyes. We headed over to Old Town in San Diego and strolled around the park. A good friend of mine's brother, Graham Dodd, joined me for the shoot to get more experience photographing people. Still in high school, Graham has already got major skills with a camera. I really wish I would have started when I was his age. Overall the shoot went great. Erin's choice of colors and style went well with the the park setting. I hope you enjoy some of the pictures from the day.

Hudson- Dallas, TX

A few weeks back I got the privilege of putting down the books from studying and picked up my new Canon 5D Mark II to take some pictures of Christy and Tim's adorable young man, Hudson.
Brianne and I drove up to Dallas and spent the morning taking all sorts of pictures to capture him at 6 months old. We started off with a few shots in his bedroom and then made our way to a near by park. We didn't get a whole lot of smiles out of him, but overall he was fantastic and we got some great shots. Here are a few:
