San Diego Maternity Portrait Photography

This evening I met with the Nguyen family who are visiting from South Dakota. They are expecting their little bundle of joy next month and wanted some maternity photos while they were in town.

Here are a few samples:

San Diego Beach Photos at the Hotel Del Coronado

Tonight I met with the Palmer family from Austin, Texas for some beach photos. What a night we had - the beach was empty, no wind, plenty of wet sand for reflections.....and by far the best sunset of 2008. This is why you do your beach photos in the fall - look at the color in some of these shots.

San Diego Newborn Baby Portraits

On Wednesday we met with baby James and his Mommy & Daddy for some newborn photos. For being six weeks old he was a little on the small side (which is good) and was extremely well behaved and cooperative (even better!)

We got a variety of great photos using the black and baby blue backdrops. Here are a few favorites from our newborn photo shoot...

We call this one "Four Feet".

San Diego Family Beach Portraits

Tonight I had the pleasure of photographing the Judd family down at the Hotel Del Coronado beach. We had a perfect evening at the beach - great weather and not a ton of people, although there did appear to be four weddings going on while we were there. We were also treated to a small school of dolphins that swam by.

Here are a few favorites from tonight's family photo shoot at Coronado Beach.

My favorite - this little lady kept losing her britches. ;)

Tucson Arizona Modeling Photography - JoAundra

After seeing the photos that I got with Briana on Tuesday, I thought it would be pretty tough to match or beat them on Wednesday. But after shooting with JoAundra for a couple of hours it was pretty clear that we had gotten another series of exceptional photographs.

JoAundra was excellent to work with, and again we were able to capture quite a wide variety of clothing and scenery around Tucson. We started at Rattlesnake Bridge, here are a couple from that location:



Some Red Sox gear:


Then we headed over to downtown Tucson and started at the Fox Theater:


Then across the street for a reflection of the Fox Theater:


And finally a pretty funny photo. JoAundra changed into a black and red outfit and right after that we came across some sort of costume shop. In the window was a mannequin in - you guessed it - black and red. There was also a poster hanging of the same costume. The colors matched almost too perfectly.

Tucson Arizona Modeling Photography - Briana

Tuesday evening I had the pleasure of meeting Briana Genevieve, a beautiful young model from Tucson, Arizona. Downtown Tucson was our backdrop, and we found several great locations for capturing some beautiful photographs.

Briana was amazing to work with, so easy going and fun. I'd show some photos of her cracking up laughing, but she probably wouldn't care for that. ;)

Here are some photos showing a variety of Briana's looks...

We started at El Presidio Park with a park bench and some nice greenery:



Then we moved over to the Pima County Courthouse for some cool architecture (note the perfect timing of the wind blowing her hair):


One of my personal favorites, check this out:


A nice closeup portrait:


Finally one of the photos that we took at the gazebo:

Tucson, Arizona Modeling Photography Preview

I had the opportunity to photograph two outstanding young models in Tucson, Arizona this week - Briana and JoAundra. I've just gotten back to San Diego and had the chance to browse through all of the photos real quick and all I can say is WOW! They looked great in the camera but even better on the computer.

It's nearly midnight so unfortunately I'm out of time for tonight, but wanted to give a little sneak peek of both of them. I'll have several more photos from each shoot posted in the next 24 hours - so stay tuned.

Here is Briana:



And this is JoAundra:


Again, lots more preview photos coming up on Friday.

San Diego Newborn Portrait Photos

This was our second family on Saturday, and baby Aidan is just over two weeks old. He was quite a fussy one, and he never got tired of taking snack breaks. However we all worked through it and got some beautiful photographs of him. Here are some favorites from this newborn photo session...

Saturday we had not one but two newborn sessions at our studio. The first was baby Kai, who is already over a month old. His older brothers were there as well, and they really hammed it up for the camera.

Here are a few favorites from Saturday's first newborn photo session...

Kai doesn't know it yet, but he's a big Padres fan:

San Diego family beach photos at Coronado beach

Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting Tiffany, Jake and Dutchess a beautiful and rambunctious four year old Lab. Dutchess did very well, and even got her first taste of the ocean!

We had a great time and almost got thrown out because apparently dogs aren't allowed on the beach there (first time I've been told that). But the Lifeguards were nice enough to let us off with a warning and we were just about wrapped up by then anyhow.

Here are a few favorites from tonight's beach photo shoot.
