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.

San Diego Photographer | Christianne & girls

Christianne was one of my college roommates. Slater and I went to Idaho to visit our other college roommate, Allison and then we headed to Park City to visit Christianne and her girls while they were on their own little vacation. Allison and I see each other pretty regularly but I haven’t seen Christianne for a long time. At least not anything with substance. The three of us had such a great time together… better than old times. Christianne is like Martha Stewart to me. She has incredible style and I envy that in just about anyone. I have never seen the arrangements she does with flowers for weddings but I am sure without a doubt that they are amazing!  Christianne is also thinking of diving into the photography world and I think she would be so great at it.

We went on a little drive around Park City to find a few fun spots to do a session. Everything went great… except later that night when I was in Salt Lake and Christianne was still in Park City (thank goodness), I realized I was missing a very expensive lens. And figured out that it was at the old little shack on the side of the road. And then I started freaking out a little. Christianne said she would go check it out first thing in the morning and she did, bright and early. She reported back that the lens wasn’t there but there was a note. We pulled off on the side of the road close to dusk… how many people could go to this exact location within an hour of us? But thank goodness the people who found it were photographers themselves and knew the lens was a good one and couldn’t bare to leave it sitting there. Christianne picked it up for me later that day and all was right with the world again.

Anyway… long story. The pictures are a must see:)
