What could be better than a beautiful young woman, gorgeous light, and the old barns in Clayton?  Nothing.

Whilloughby Family | San Diego Photgrapher

As much as I love family life style photography, I love creating these kinds of images for families:

The Whillougby family takes every family portrait at their home showcasing this tree.  I was able to see many of them – and it’s fun to see the family and the tree grow and change through the years.

Here’s Grandma & Grandpa with the grandkids :)

This kind of photography requires a different skill set and way of thinking about pictures – but I love it just as much.  Mostly, I love the joy it brings families.  I know my grandma has images like this one framed on her walls.  It’s a blessing to create that sort of heirloom for other families.

Paxton Turns One | San Diego Family Photographer

Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve updated my professional work here on my blog!  I can honestly say my life has been richly busy and wonderfully full.  As a result, however, my poor blog was neglected.  Today I decided it’s time to wipe the dust off and post some fresh images!  The opportunity to share these images with you makes me happy.

And nothing makes me happier than sharing this session with my dear friends Brad & Merrilee.  You might remember these images of baby Paxton -

Well, he’s not a baby anymore!!!

Paxton turned 1!  And it’s easy to see that his mom and dad are more in love with him than ever!

This session was a dream session to me.  We played, we did some crazy lighting things, we laughed, and we took full advantage of their totally awesome house, and we focused on capturing the beauty of the everyday.

I think one reason we all get along so well is that we worship all hold a deep affinity for Apple.  Check out Paxton working the iPhone:

Don’t you just love these colors!!!!

Ever since we met Brad and Merrilee it was clear Fergie was a part of their family.

Shortly after we took these images, Fergie passed into a more peaceful and wonderful place.  I’m so glad we have these of Paxton and Fergie!

We took a stroll down to the park where we finished our session and created these images:

Brad & Merrilee, I am so honored to photographed your family.  It was a privilege.  Thanks for asking :) .

Lucy Turned 5

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here – and I have LOTS of catching up to do, that’s for sure!  But this image caught my eye and I had to post it right away!  I love Luke in the background, Chris looking so proud, Cinderella illuminated by 5 candles, and Lucy thinking so hard about blowing them all out!

Enjoy!
