just because: Amelie

I'm a little bummed that I waited until the last day of my spring break to take Ami out for some photos, but it has been a great week filled with lots of quality time spent with my mom, so I don't regret not taking her out. However, my timing was a little bad because Ami was in dire need of a nap, and she wasn't really "feelin' it" today. Not even the promise of M&Ms could get her to look at the camera long enough to get a decent shot. But she's still a cutie and I did get some cute photos out of her.

I've been wanting to shoot at this location for some time now, and I was hoping to try it out with someone other than my "usual" subject, but I thought, "eh, what the hell - I can always come back". I'm also excited to be shooting a Quinceañera there next month. But if anyone is interested in scheduling a session at this cute little spot in Colma, you know where to find me!

For this first photo, I used a free texture from Isabelle Lafrance Photography. She's got lots of freebies on her site.

dig the hair clip? Yeah, I made it :)

I think this one (below) is my favorite :)

and just like that, she's done.

Sneak Peek: Ava and Bella Easter Photos

Just a taste of a little shoot I did with my cousin and her adorable little girls for their Easter pics. All I can say is that they're so adorable, especially Bella, the oldest. I just loved talking to her about Starbucks' mochas and Dora the Explorer.

Friday nothingness

Ok, has been way too long since my last post! Unfortunately, I have nothing interesting to say, except have a great weekend! I hope whatever you do is fun, enjoyable, and spent with people you love! ;)

Expecting: Stacey

My sister-in-law is adding a boy to our family, and I can't wait for the new baby to arrive! We went to Fort Funston on a FREEEZING Sunday evening for a quick session, and as always, my brother delivers on comedy. These are just a couple of pics from the day. :)

Pre-Quince Sneak Peek: Karina

A natural in front of the camera made my job just a little too easy. More to come soon!

Expecting: Danielle

Yesterday I had the pleasure (again) to shoot maternity pics for my lovely friend, Danielle. We hoped to do the shoot somewhere outdoors, but unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate. So, we took the shoot indoors. To a mausoleum. Yes. A mausoleum. I know what you're thinking. It sounds a little creepy, but this place we went to was sooo beautiful, you wouldn't believe it until you see it. We had fun exploring all the space inside, and stopped for some photos along the way. :)

Ami and Alexis' walk to the car at the end of lunch turned into somewhat of a shoot too, so I can't help but post pics of these adorable little girls.

she's crafty!

I've been feeling the need to be crafty lately, so I finally started a project. I made these cute little rosette hair clips, and I must say, they came out pretty good! Now if only I could get my model to sit still long enough to take pictures! Maybe next time.
:)

I've got a couple of other projects that I'm working on. Stay tuned for those ;-)
