Dear friend and her family....

I have known Jeannette for over 30 years. She was working at the same place where I met my husband. We lost touch over the years and through Facebook, we were able to reconnect a few years ago. 

She asked me to take a few pictures of her family. She saw some of my samples and thought that it was time to update her family pictures too. Her son just finished his tour in the service and now that he was home for a little bit, she want to get some pictures done. 

  

 

 We were able to meet and head to out on a beautiful summer day. It was wonderful to be able to have so much time and use 3 different places to take pictures. Each place lent for a whole new set of fun. Everyone was so terrific to work with and I enjoyed spending so much time with them.

 

  

 As for most men, I am sure this wasn't the number one favorite thing to do on a summer morning. But we had a fun time and they were wonderful to work with. They were open to just about anything.

All they wanted was to make (mom/wife) Jeannette happy.

 

And as for most of my photo sittings, you as the client, will always get a CD of all the high resolution  images, (adjusted and some with some fun filters). They are yours to do as you wish.  

 

So no matter how old your "babies" are..... Family pictures are an important piece of personal history to keep and treasure.

Girls love Diamonds

For a few years now, I have had the joy of photographing both boys baseball and girls softball senior pictures at Brea Olinda High School, which are presented to the graduating seniors of the varsity teams as a gift from their booster clubs. It is a unique set of pictures in which the subject does not smile or look directly into the camera at any time. I try to capture the emotions of what the player may be feeling while in the game. I take a series of different poses that is true to the players' natural game posture. Once I take the pictures, I do a little "fun filtering" aka. sepia tone touch up to the image and "voila"- the 11x14 mounted gift is ready to be presented at the end of the season banquet.

Here you see the Senior Varsity Softball girls photos.

I have been so pleased to be able to offer this service to BOHS and hope that when each player looks at their photo, they look back on their season with fond memories. 

 Interested in something a little different in a portrait for your family (or school)? Just call me and we can discuss some fun and unique photos just for you. 

My Cousin, Bethany's, Wedding

Weddings are such a wonderful time to come together and celebrate love and laughter and family and friends. I was honored to attend my cousin, Bethany's wedding a few weeks ago. I was not the official photographer for the day but most of the people who know me, know I don't go too many places without taking my camera with me. I took a few pictures of the event to give to Bethany as a little extra gift for her and her new hubby.

I know that Bethany likes all types of photography so I decided to play around with some of them and give her a few pictures that aren't the standard color photo.
