Valentine treat printable

Many of you may not know that I am kind of on the crafty side.  I thought I would put together a little printable ziploc bag topper for you to download to make quick, easy, and cute valentines for your kids at school.  This printable will fit on any baggy that is 6.5″ wide (sandwich, snack size, etc).  You can also cut this topper so it isn’t quite as wide if you want.  You can print this on cardstock, photo paper or  plain typing paper.  Just click here to download and print this pdf (make sure you click off “print color as black” if your print screen says anything like this.  Then cut out, fold and staple over filled ziploc.

I may have to bring out more of my craftiness on this blog:)  Enjoy!

Sledding in Del Mar

Ok, not really sledding… the boys got these new boards for Christmas called Spooners. I think they are made here in San Diego.  I had just done a shoot (sneak peek coming soon) in Del Mar at the beach and the sand was pushed up into big steep hills.  Perfect for the boards.  And today is amazingly beautiful.  And I love the beach in December… love it.  So I pulled my “Please don’t make us do anything but lay around the house” older boys and the fun loving “i’ll go anywhere” Slater to the beach.  And this is what we did.

These were all shot with a little Sony cybershot… when you are used to full creative control with a very good camera, point and shoots kind of suck (and not really just kind of)

San Diego Family Beach Photography | the Roberts family, La Jolla

I wish I had a picture of Kim and I when we were little…. I don’t darn it.  Our parents were friends as we were growing up and we spent summers at La Jolla Shores and vacationed in Borrego Springs in the blistering heat and just layed in the pool all day and I think a season or two of baseball behind home plate.

I don’t see them very often and I couldn’t rememeber what her boys’ names were even.   But it’s always fun to photograph people who you have some history with.  There is just something that you get to see when you are behind the camera concentrating on each person that you just normally wouldn’t if you were to just hang out for two hours.  I loved getting to ‘know’ each of her kids and how totally beautiful they all are.

I heard that getting to the shoot was a little rough on everyone (the getting ready part is usually the most stressful part) but you would never know it from my end.  Everyone was great and even their youngest who is four made it through over 2 hours of shooting and traversing around the La Jolla Cove area.

So Kim is dying to see some pictures and I didn’t want to disappoint so here is a giant sneak peek for her:)  And Kim, don’t hate me for your close up… you look awesome and I loved it too much to not include in my favorites.  And the one right below it, one of my fave couple photos. And Luke’s jump… one of the best ever. Rivals my boys and I had to train them how to jump for pictures so they looked rad;)  Ok… pictures!

San Diego Family Photographer | Little Baby Bird Rock Mini Sessions

Little Baby Bird Rock Children’s boutique offered mini family photography sessions with me and we just did them.  And they were awesome!  I can be behind the camera for days and be soo soo happy.  So a full day of families with a variety of location looks was the best.  I love so many photos…. it’s so hard to not only narrow down the blog post but to narrow each session down to the super star shots.  That part is grueling.  Here’s two shots from each session.

San Diego Family Photographer | the Smith family, at home

Lots and lots going on over here.  If you are planning on a holiday photo session, now is the time to schedule it.

Now onto something new.  I have photographed this family many, many, times.  Love seeing them again and again.  I thought the twins were just the cutest boys when I first met them.  But I think their little brother is going to give them a run for their money because he is soooo cute!  But see for yourself.

We have done quite a few shots on the bed before but I think this one is my favorite of all of them.  I love this photo so much that I wish it was mine and I would print it huge and put it over my bed.
