Recent Sessions

I had the opportunity to do a few recent session of some babies! They were all great models and so cute!

The last Moments... (San Diego Family Photography)

Before deployments. Its always the hardest times but getting some pictures beforehand always helps. Dad is in the Marines and he is leaving for Afganistan for 7 months. He will miss all those first moments with his little girl, but he is serving our country proud. I was fortunate to get them some family pictures that he can maybe take along with him on his journey to keep his spirits high and keep him safe. Also for baby "B" to see her daddy and how much he loves her!

Slow Times!

Its kind of a wacky idea to say your going to start a photography business in San Diego. Its so beautiful here, there are so many locations for photos, and everyone seems to be a photographer out here. Its such a tough market and when your just beginning, it seems like you are not going to get anywhere. I can offer such cheap sessions just mainly to build my portfolio and still no one bites on it. It brings me down and makes me wonder if its really worth it. Don't get me wrong I am not going to give up my camera, but should I keep trying to build a business? Its expensive for one. People really don't understand why they should pay money for great photos when their friend down the road can take satisfactory ones for free. Well, to start a business it costs money, lots of money. Sure people out there can skip around the bush and not claim taxes or anything but those people are the ones that are not true to our country. We can't make money for free and well its not always fair for those just starting out, sometimes thats the risk that has to be taken. However, its that one person that gives you credit for the work you put into their session and gives you a huge pat on the back that keeps you going. I am going to keep going and I am happy to all that are reading this, giving me support! To all my friends that I have not done pictures for, be sure to keep me in mind! Things are super slow right now so let me know if you want to book a session!

~~Cousins~~

Little 2 year old K's cousins came down to visit and we just had to capture the love! Little K loves her cousins and they love her! They wanted pictures for grandma to have. I hope grandma loves her photos as much as she loves her grandbabies!

Beautiful Family

This was a beautiful family to photograph. The mom serves our country proud in the USAF and the dad has served his country proud in the USAF and now supports his wife. Their son was cute as can be and only 5 months old. Mom said she will be deploying to Afganastan in a couple months. My heart and sould is with her while she is gone. I hope for her safety and a happy return home to watch her baby boy grow up! That being said I hope I am able to provide them photographs to keep their spirits high while she is gone.

Cute Family of Four!

So while I was in Arizona I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to do some more portfolio building. The response was great and I got the opportunity to try new locations, shoot in different situations and experiment more. I will be posting my sessions over the next few days of those. I loved shooting there and can't wait to shoot more. I do lots of traveling back to Arizona since that is my hometown so I look forward to working more with those out there!

Maternity

I don't get too many of these but I finally got to do another maternity! The mom-to-be-again wanted indoor shots with the black background. I am still trying to get the hang of indoor shoots without having any lighting. I used natural light with a bounced flash. Plus I still need to save for a wide angle lens to help out in tighter situations!
