Condor’s Nest Concept Shoot

I love doing fun, out of the box photo shoots.  This shoot was set up in the most amazing place ever.  If you are getting married and want a place that is rustic and unique… this is the place.  We had lots of models and lots of photographers.  It was actually really hard to get the shots you wanted.  I think there were about 8 photographers per setting and we each had 5 minutes to get complete attention with the models.  I actually prefer people I am photographing to not look at me and direct them to do that often but there were some missed shots (lots) because I wasn’t in the right place or I needed a different lens.  Regardless… it was SO much fun and I am so happy I attended.  I will definitely do more shoots like that in the future. So here is a little slideshow of my very favorite images.

San Diego Kids Photographer | just the grandkids

All the grandkids were in town and all in one place … the perfect time to get fun beach photos (on a cloudy overcast, summer day in San Diego).  This group of kids was a lot of fun. Rounding them all up was quite a fete.  Two of those kids belong to my boys’ orthodontist (I am on Tucker with his rubber bands Trish:P).  I think all five kids had fun racing, jumping and getting to run around all over the beach with each other.  Here are some favorites from our time together.

San Diego family beach photographer | the Stempel family

There was a bit of a run on Pacific Beach family shoots lately…. there’s still one more to showcase (coming soon).  I have photographed this little boy a few times.  This time though, he was a boy… not a baby but a boy.  He’s changed so much in just the short time I haven’t seen him.  We did a lot of running during this session.  The shot of his feet running away is just perfect and represents him so well at this age… or at least this shoot.  Love photographing this family because they are just so cute all together:)

Family Photogaphy at the Beach | Ian, Katy & David

These three kids are so photogenic.  I loved the first time I photographed them and this time was no different.  Their mom wasn’t planning on being in the pictures but having kids just past this stage of her kids, I had to give her what I would love to have myself… just a hint of me with my kids.  Love each one.  One of my favorite shots is the last one with the three kids running to the water.  I take a lot of pictures like that but this one has a lot of life to it.  Love it:)

Pacific Beach Family Photographer | little Max

I’ve been photographing Max since he was a newborn… he’s just barely over one. But this is the third time and I just love seeing him and his mom and dad.  Their sessions never disappoint and Max is just about the cutest one year old there is.
