AAS Bn Christmas Party

Last night was AAS Bn's annual Christmas party, and I volunteered to take pictures of the kids with Santa.

Here are a few pictures from the party!

Waiting for Santa to arrive.









Lots of food







And time with friends & family.





And of course visits with Santa.

Jerica, Alex, and Gunner :: Family Shoot

On Sunday morning I met up with Jerica and her husband Alex, and their son, Gunner, for a family session. Gunner is 6 months old, and so adorable. When Jerica first contacted me, she was worried about getting enough pictures to capture all his different faces, and during the shoot I realized exactly what she meant. Gunner has so many facial expressions!

Below is a variety of the expressions I captured.




Love this one!



Blowing bubbles..







Love this one of all 3 of them.







This is the face Gunner makes when pulling on Mom's earrings...note that Mom doesn't look quite so excited ;)








Jerica, I had a great time with you and your family! Have a happy holiday season :)

Katie & Greg :: Family Shoot

Last weekend I met up with Katie and Greg in gorgeous Coronado. Katie had contacted me to do some photos for them because they had never really had any professional pictures taken together, and Greg was nice enough to go along with the idea :)

I was a little nervous because it was sprinkling on the drive down to Coronado, but luckily the rain held off all evening for us.

It was also cool to find out that Katie and Greg are from New Hampshire - it's always nice to meet other transplanted New Englanders out here. Katie even has cousins in the same town as my in-law's have a house - apparently it's a small world!

I had so much trouble choosing some images to share with you because I loved so many....but here are a few that I narrowed it down to! You can see a few more at Fox Hollow's Facebook Page.




I knew when this happened at the beginning that it was going to be a fun session.





Love the next 2.







I love how you can see the bridge to Coronado in the background.











Love the Christmas-y vibe in these.





Katie, I had a great time with you and Greg!

Andy, Aaron, and Madeliene :: Family Shoot

Last Sunday I met up with Raquel and her husband David, and their three children Andy (10), Aaron (8), and Madeliene (6) for a family shoot. We were vacillating between beaches up 'til the last minute, but ended up heading north towards Dana Point. It was a beautiful setting for a beautiful family.

And seriously, if/when my husband and I ever have kids, I would love them to be like Raquel & David's. The kids were so sweet & excited to be doing a photoshoot, and I even got a hug goodbye from Aaron :)

Here's a few of my favorites from our evening...




We had some goofy poses, haha.






Mom & her sons. Aaron had tons of different posing ideas :)







Maddy was such a natural model.












I love this one of all 3 of them.



Skipping rocks on the water at the end of the session.




Raquel, it was so nice to meet you and your family!
