Happy New Year!

Special Portrait Session Price with Ad

Last year I place a small ad (big for me) in Bay Area Parent's b.a.b.y. magazine. It's a great resource for new parents or parents of small children. Check your local library or pediatricians office for copies.

I also  placed a phone listing in Bay Area Parent's Family Navigator magazine. Another great resource for families. This issue of Family Navigator has just come out. Look for copies at your local library, school, or pediatricians office.

Have I got a deal for you...

Photography Fun

One of my goals for 2009 is to take more photographs. I want to just get out and take pictures. Shoot, shoot, shoot.

I thought I would have some fun with my camera before putting Christmas away yesterday. I hope you enjoy these images.

Can you guess what type of flowering plant this is?

Happy New Year from Lake Tahoe

Happy New Year! I would like to thank all my wonderful clients. 2008 was a great year and I look forward this new year.

My family and I are ringing in the new year in beautiful Lake Tahoe. Here are some images and fun portrait images I wanted to share with you.

No one is safe in a snowball fight with this one.

GOTCHA!

Maternity Portraits Sneak Peak

Last weekend I had the honor and privilege of photographing this beautiful mother-to-be. We were able to get the daddy-to-be in several images as well.

I hope mommy-to-be is able to enjoy this sneak peak before her baby arrives. I want to wish her all the very best. I can't wait to photograph the new baby with mommy and daddy.

Any Camera to Capture the Moment

I don't always have one of my Nikon SLR cameras with me. Sometimes I have my Canon Point-and-Shoot. Other times, the only camera I have with me is my cell phone. That's probably not good to tell the world--I don't carry my camera around everywhere I go. I have two young children and that's just life. Sometimes I want a day off.

Although, it seems to be those times, that I don't have my SLR with me, that I see something I want to capture.

Here are two of those times. I took these two images with my cell phone.

Just goes to show, it's not the expensive equipment that takes a good photograph. It's the talent and training of the artist taking the photograph.

Happy Halloween

I absolutely love Halloween. I love everything about it; going to the pumpkin patch, decorating the front porch, costumes, school parades and parties, handing out candy, going trick-or-treating, and carving pumpkins.

I hope you capture some wonderful Halloween memories.
