San Diego vacation family portraits

It's not a big secret that San Diego is a nice place to visit. Millions of people come to San Diego each year to vacation with family and spend time relaxing at our beautiful beaches. I love it when a family will hire me to do a portrait session while everyone is in town. And now that my own parents are now grandparents I understand how extra special it is to capture these memories while the kids are young. I met up with this extended family who were staying at The Beach Cottages in Pacific Beach. We headed down to Crystal Pier to grab some nice portraits of them together. Hope you guys had a great vacation!

 

 

 

 

Marion Bear Park family session

Loved catching up with these repeat clients for their annual family portrait session. They also planned the shoot for when Chloe's grandparents were visiting from out of town. We were able to capture some truly special memories! And I hear there will be a new addition to the family coming soon... yay!! For more of this awesome family be sure to take a look at their wedding photos ... and Chloe was just a baby when we shot this in-home family session

 

 

 

 

My family portraits

After posting this blog post of all my clients and their gorgeous families, I thought it would be nice to share with you my own family portraits taken last month. I find that even though I'm a photographer it's hard for me to keep up with documenting my own family... and I'm hardly ever in any of the photos! So it's important for me as well to hire a photographer to update our family heirlooms at least once a year. I'm also making a promise to myself to take more photos (and video) of my son Reed this year. He is growing up way too fast! Thank you to Chelsea Anne Photography for capturing these beautiful memories for us!

2013 YEAR IN REVIEW

As I reflect back on this past year I feel so grateful for the opportunity I have as an artist and business owner to connect with people and live my passion. This year my portrait business has really grown... thanks to the continued support and referrals from my awesome clients! I wanted to share with you a sample of the moments I captured in 2013. Eventually I will catch up to blogging most of these sessions (hellooooo new years resolution) but I wanted to make sure to give a big shout out to my past portrait clients and a huge THANK YOU for making 2013 a year to remember!!
