{San Diego Family Photography~Cole and Quinn}

I fall in love with every shoot I do. Working with the families to style and pick locations,  scouting out new a fun places to create the perfect backdrop for their special day, and of course the cuteness of children on the day of dressed up in holiday finery, perfectly polished and clean faced. In this case that is how they arrived and for a short time that is how they stayed... But I have to say I love a mama who wants both sides of her children, the pictures you can hang for all the marvel at how perfect your children must be and then the shots I love the most, the real ones. So when the lollipops came out and the faces became smudged with layers of colorful sugar we did what any fun loving family photo shoot would do~ Through them on amusement park rides with lolli's in hand and then have them romp in the ocean to clean up after! These two were tons of fun and mommy and daddy were equally amazing. Thank you so much Kelly family for allowing me to capture just how beautiful you are inside and out!

I adore this shot of these two <3

The little heart on the bottom of the sparkly silver shoes~ priceless.

At sunset and still enjoying the lolli's!

Cole was so excited to go in the water

Quinn, not so much :)

This made my day. Thanks Kelly Family for being so amazing!

{Paisley Chief Pinning Ceremony}

This was a very special shoot for me. Jessica had originally contacted me about a homecoming photo shoot but as most homecomings go it was not at an opportune time so we planned on regrouping in the future. Fortunately for us another big milestone was waiting just around the corner for the Paisley Family. Mike had been selected for Chief and after the process as a selectee would be the Pinning Ceremony! This was my first Pinning and it was really amazing to witness such a special occasion for so many that day. I love so many things about being blessed to be a part of a military community and those you meet are more like family than friends. Thank you so much to Jessica and Mike for allowing me to capture this very special day in your lives!
