Coming Soon..

No pun intended. The full blog will be up shortly. Hopefully before the baby is born. The due date is any day now.

So it will be a mad rush to see "who" gets here first. The full blog or the baby. ;-)

Senior Portraits: Phillip & Whit Part 2

Honestly all day shoots are soo FUN!!
For the evening session we headed out to the beach...

Don't these two look like they should be on the cover of some Teen magazine?? I think so .. what are these kids reading now a days? Tiger Beat? or did i just date myself??











The masta said to the grasshoppa- "watch and learn"



And then the Grasshoppa......

Jumped over the Masta and became the new and improved Masta!!



and rightfully so.. she practiced long and hard. ;-P

The day came to an end.

Sneak Peek: New life...

It's amazing how a new life forms inside one's body for 9 months. 

Senior Portraits!!! Philip & Whit Part 1

What do you get when you put two outrageously outgoing teenagers together?

Lots of fun, lots of laughs a really long day and AMAZING portraits!!!



I have sooo many favorites. Truly I do it's going to be hard to limit them.

I will start by telling you these kids each go to a different high school & only see each other at family functions. Their mom's are BFF's but they get along so well you would think they were the BFF's. Both moms came along, they are stage moms you see- they had orchestrated the whole thing the kids were just props. ;-) Hey I didn't mind.

It was soo much fun!!! I'm ready to do it all over again.

We started the day out on the Thing (in Prom clothes) and then went up to San Francisco in search of some really urban hotness. In part 2 you will see where the day ended.














To be continued....



Let me know if you want to book YOUR senior portaits!!

Femme Fatale

I have been receiving many inquiries about these sessions. And would like to offer some answers here:

Do I have to go nude?

No. Being Sexy and Alluring and showing your Beauty does not need you to get naked. Many times seeing less is more!! However if you want to go nude you can. I love artist nudes.

Where are these sessions done?

They can be done in the privacy of your home, or in studio or anywhere you would like. Some options even include a secluded beach.

How long are the sessions?

They last anywhere from 1.5 hours- 3 hours, depending on the number of outfits and your photography package.

What do I wear?

Anything really. OF course to get desired effects suggestions will be made. For example in a pin up style shoot : fishnets, bustiers and heels are strongly encouraged. Wardrobe will be "planned" in advance.

Do I come with my hair and make up done?

Yes. Unless you opt to add an on location hair and make stylist to your session.

How much do these packages cost?

Sessions start at $300 & include a print credit, light styling, and a password protected gallery.

CONTEST ALERT!!!

I am giving away 2 mini sessions. How do you win?? Easy leave a comment with your first name and email. In your comment tell me who your favorite Femme Fatale is and why?

Two winners will be randomly picked on Friday, Sept. 26th.

Apologies...

I am soo sorry for being so behind in posting. I was swamped all of August was insane!!!
So over the next few days there will be a flurry of postings.

And in the next few weeks there will be a MAJOR announcement. as well as the Femme Fatale contest you ahve all been waiting for ..

As summer comes to an end..

Let's all think back to when we were kids and loved to play in the grass.

I'm only posting 2 pictures, one of each child. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words. I truly believe I captured each child's personality in these. Enjoy!

Continued.. She was looking for tickets and instead she found love

Cecilia had recently moved to Sacramento and decided she should check out the city's local sports teams. Now where else does one look for tickets but Craig's List. Brett was selling tickets and Cecilia was buying. They emailed and called each other to work out the logistics of the ticket sale ..... however what really happened is they fell in Love. And like they say-- the rest is history.

Cecilia & Brett had a beautiful garden wedding in Ryde, Calif. WHERE??? yup - I asked myself the same question as I googled directions. However the drive was amazing no traffic, warm weather (in the 90's) and scenery worth many pit stops. The town of Ryde is quaint and perfect for a little get away, cell coverage is very spotty, I highly recommend it!

Everything about their wedding was perfect. It was an intimate weekend affair with very close family & friends. Everyone was awesome. I even had some amazing impromptu assistants!!! Although i did have to "yell" at the groom when he pulled out his camera, because honestly you can't get married and shoot your own wedding, but first I got this:



I am very honored to have been part of their special day. I know they will be extremely happy!!
