Daddy's Girl

Since I had this week off (from photographing families, not Halloween craziness) I thought I would post this cute shot I snapped of my friends at the beach a couple of months ago. Can you tell this is a Daddy's girl?

At last...a peek for Jennifer...

Sunday morning I bundled up bright and early to shoot this north county family. Right away Nathan and Kaitlin (sure hope I spelled that right) ran into the woods to do some exploring. Nate found a rock, which he affectionately named "rockie", and carried it around the entire shoot! You would never know Dad had a twisted ankle, and Mom was wearing heals as they scaled countless rocks to get that perfect family photo. And did I mention no complaints? These guys should be professionals! :)

Fall Morning at the Beach

This laid-back family was all smiles despite the chilly morning weather. Of course it was high tide (made higher by the full moon) so we were given no sand to play on :( Luckily, this is a roll-with-the-punches sort of family. Little Ellie scraped her knee half a dozen times, yet still found a way to ham it up for my camera. Must be a third child thing!!

Happy Birthday Mojo

Happy Birthday to my sweet, furry friend. It was two years and four months ago we walked into Helen Woodward Animal Shelter and fell in love with our not-so-little dog. Tomorrow he will be three! The kids and I will be making home made dog biscuits and doing a little singing to celebrate his big day :) If anyone is ever looking to adopt a pet, we highly recommend Helen Woodward. They have all kinds of animals from horses to turtles and are a no-kill shelter. They also provide tons of educational workshops. http://www.animalcenter.org/

Carson turns 1

I have been photographing Carson since he was in his mommy's tummy. Now this little guy is 1-year-old! How time flies with these little ones. Needless to say, he wasn't a big fan of sitting still for our session. His two sisters and I chased him all around the park :) Thanks for the help ladies, and Happy Birthday Carson!!

Ervin Family

A couple of months ago I got to meet Angela and her family. She was hoping to get one last family portrait while her kids were still "kids". The following week their daughter left for New York and I'm sure they are missing her. Enjoy your last year with your son at home Ervin Family!

End of Summer

I have been out on the road with the Fino Fam all summer and have been terrible about updating. Here are a couple pics from our most recent beach trip.
