{San Diego Family Photography~Coronado Beach Christmas with the Crane's}

This is my last shoot of the year and I have to say it is one of my favorites because I believe it perfectly captures the direction Andrea Gallagher Photography is taking for 2012 with custom styled portrait sessions! This beach inspired shoot was styled to perfection based on the vision of my client and friend Jen who wanted to capture her girls on the beach for her 2011 Christmas cards. We assembled and gathered props and items that would reflect the feel we were going for; mason jars filled with sand and shells, beautiful white starfish, sea glass, custom made quilt, pink flowers, and  a vintage surfer themed suitcase. 

If you are looking to capture your memories in a unique and beautifully styled way please contact me or visit my website to book your 2012 portrait session @ Andrea Gallagher Photography.com {here}!!  

Thank you to the Crane family for letting me capture these amazing moments and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!! 

{San Diego Family Photography~ At home with the Phalin's}

Some of you may remember Kim's Maternity session I featured several months ago with Connor {here}

at the beautiful Summer's Past Farms. I am happy to announce the newest member of the Phalin family has finally arrived; Miss Abigail Gray!! Such a beautiful name for such a sweet little lady and I had the pleasure of capturing some special moments between her and her loving family at their home several weeks ago:) We delayed the posting due to the adorable birth announcements being sent out so she is even bigger now but just as cute! Phalin's you are such a wonderful family and I cannot thank you enough for letting me into your lives!<3 

Beautiful Mommy and Abigail Gray

She was just beginning to open her eyes more...

Loved this shot! I had been waiting to use this sling made by my friend Paige forever and I could not be happier with the results!

This was Kim's cradle as a baby! Loved incorporating such a special family heirloom:) 

She looks so sweet in her pink tutu and pearls with mama:)

Hand made blanket from Kim's friend, just lovely!

Love this<3
