San Diego Photography presents Our Thanksgiving

My sweet momma wasn't feeling well, so I took over the cooking duties.. at 2 separate houses with 2 separate turkeys... I was a busy girl. Here are my favorite snaps from the day...


After snapping about 20 with her hands in front of her face.. I finally got this.

Hopelessly behind....

This is every portrait photographers craziest season. Everyone wants family pictures for the holidays.. and I am more than happy to oblige. But that means my blog has been sadly neglected.. I am sorry dear blog. I will try to do better! :)

So, a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend called me to have their Christmas pictures taken. I love how that works. :) I met this beautiful family out at Balboa Park, on what was, I think, the busiest day they have ever had.

For one, it was a beautiful Sunday with temps in the high 70's, so all the dogwalkers, baby strollers, mimes, didgeridoo players (oh,you don't know what that is... here) tarot card readers, et al.. were out in full force. Secondly, it was a day for thousands of women to don on their pink and walk for Breast Cancer.. a noble cause for sure... but it makes it hard to find a parking space. :)

I digress...

So, the B family showed up ready to go, and I am not kidding you I didn't have to pose these girlies one bit. They had curls in place and smiles in tact, and boy I loved this session!! Here are just a few to tide you over on the holiday!

Happy Thanksgiving... Mrs. B.. your email will be in your inbox soon! :)

San Diego Photography presents A tried and true pose...

I have so many Christmas sessions to blog, but I am still editing away... I wanted to give you a hint at some pictures to come.

This is one of my favorite poses for a mom and baby. Some may say it is overdone, but my clients are mothers (mostly) and every mother I have ever met would die to have a picture like this to look back on. Me included. :)

San Diego Photography presents No longer awaiting Nathan... :)

Look who I got to meet!! It's Nathan. Remember when we were all awaiting his arrival. :)

I had such fun holding this sleeping, warm, soft little bub. When our session was done.. I didn't want to leave. And I said so too.. But then I remembered how I used to walk around in a daze, waiting for the little person to finally go to sleep.

And then I would walk ever so carefully into the room to place them in their crib.

And then I would hold my breath...because as every young mom knows, one wrong breath can lead to the destruction of the napping procedure..

And then I would pray as I have never prayed before..."Please let them sleep so I can shower, and sleep for a minute, and brush my teeth, and maybe have a meal... Please!" But really, even if I got one of those things, I considered naptime a sucess.

And then I would back out of their room, still walking as quietly as I could...

And then as soon as I shut the door, the angels would begin to sing a sweet beautiful sound like none other (in the baby monitor, of course)... the peaceful, slumbering breath of your tiny one.

So, I remembered those wonderful feelings, and scurried out of there so Jess could have a little nap. But, can you blame me for not wanting to leave??

I mean really...
