Baker Family Photos

The Baker Family had a perfect San Diego morning for their photo shoot at the beach. This was a lot of fun and a challenge all at the same time. You see, little Christopher is 4 years old and is very opinionated when it comes to having his photo taken. He actually likes to make the rules. He doesn't like silly games or funny faces that usually work for me when I'm trying to get a minature person to play along. Instead, he was skilled at the art of negotiation. I never before have offered to pay a child to smile for me. But once the first five cents was on the table, he had my number. By the end of the shoot, little Mr. had earned himself 75 cents. Almost enough for an ice cream cone! I'm glad that his little sister wasn't quite old enough to understand, and still offered her sweet smiles for free!

A great post about recycling

As a huge supporter of going green, recycling, saving our oceans, and just plain being less wasteful, I loved Liz Beck's blog post about unique ways to recycle. Besides supporting the green cause, Liz is a talented event planner with a huge heart and fun sense of humor. Check out the recycling post here and Liz Beck Events here!

I can't wait for next week & tea #2!

Dawn's Maternity Photos

I had so much fun taking Dawn's maternity photos! She's just one of those people that's a lot of fun to be around. She was such a good sport to hike down to the beach and bare her belly without worrying about onlookers or the cool morning breeze. It was worth it! It was the perfect location for the natural soft look she was hoping for. The photos were a surprise gift for her husband, Alex. Dawn also ordered an album from the shoot that she plans to give to baby Isabelle when she turns 13. What a great idea! I loved it! Congratulations Dawn and Alex. We can't wait to meet that baby girl!

Alex's Birthday!

Alex celebrated his 1st bithday in style. First, a few photos with Mommy. Then, just a boy and his cake! Happy Birthday Alex!

Windansea

Just a few shots from Windansea yesterday morning. It was absolutely beautiful, as you can see. The water was clear and the waves were perfect for a few guys to get some great rides.
