Such A Beautiful Baby

So, I am trying to get ready for this photography school! My camera has been decently quiet for a couple of months due to the cold. Lucky for me ... this new little one is a willing subject!!

I had Jeremy teach me some new tricks in Photoshop too. I might have gone a little crazy with the photo effects, but I was pretty excited to learn how to do some of these things!

Water

So water shots are my favorite!! I should start bringing random children to swim in the pool just so I can take their picture ... that might be a little creepy for the neighborhood!

I love the way the camera captures the water drops - so cool!

A Family Of Friends

This is a true "California" family ... one that is not too keen on having their picture taken. We had to play a bit, but they got a couple that they were happy with.

Looking back, I need to come up with better poses. They look a little stiff!

Daughters Are Heart Warmers

It's hard to believe I ONLY wanted boys!! I think some of the individuals turned out okay ... but I wasn't overly thrilled with the group shots. All three aren't as focused and crisp as I would like. Oh no ... guess we'll have to go back and try again! :)

We Remember Moments

A very special moment ... for a very special girl! I loved the way she just threw her arms around her Mom and hugged tight. Such a great relationship captured in a quick picture.

All The World Is A Stage

One of my new friends who is an established photographer asked my girls to be her "models" for her fall/winter marketing campaign. While we were waiting for her ... I took a couple of shots. I really want to take the girls back to this spot and play some more. LOVE the way the blue train just makes their eyes pop. Really need to figure out the lighting and why their faces are so washed out!!

Momma's Boy

This little munchkin could move in ANY DAY!! He has the biggest blue eyes and dimples to match. How could you not love taking his picture.

Moms Make Memories

The Mom of the two cutest boys I know had a great idea for Father's Day ... she just needed a couple of quick shots to finish the perfect gift. So we met at the park. I did "force" her to jump in a couple of photos - every child needs a great picture alone with his/her momma!!

Beach Boy

This little guy does not live on a beach ... but he does look like the ultimate California kid!! He truly is too cool. He did such a great job smiling and posing. However, towards the end, the creek was just too tempting.
