No matter how sophisticated the camera, the photographer is still the one that makes the picture.

A trip through the Corn Maze [Theresa Le, family time]

Halloween morning my family and I went to the Swank Farm Corn Maze for the first time. I highly recommend it if you are in the Hollister, CA area in October.

California Academy of Science [Theresa Le, family time]

At the end of October we were scheduled to go camping. Me with one daughter and her Girl Scout troop. The other daughter with my husband for a daddy camping weekend. Well, both camping trips got rained out. What to do instead?

I grabbed my camera and the four of us headed to The City (San Francisco). We thought it was a perfect day to check out the California Academy of Science. We hadn't been there since they remodeled.

WOW! Beautiful! Some of the original things we remembered and many new things. One of my favorites was the rain forest. I could have spent all day in there. I might go back to do just that.

Here are just a few of the images from our visit.

Sneak Peak [Infant Portraits by San Jose Photographer Theresa Le]

Baby bubbles, little feet and tiny toes. How I love photographing infants.

This baby was so amazing during her photo shoot. She just loved the camera. No matter where I was she was looking at the camera. I had such a hard time getting her profile. She kept turning her head. So cute!

Images of Day Camp

I volunteer with the Girl Scouts. I am a co-leader of a troup, but I also volunteer my time as a photographer. I will photograph different events through out the year (at no charge). My favorite is Day Camp. I not only bring Day Camp home to the parents, but I try to capture the spirit of Girl Scouting and Day Camp. Capturing memories for all the campers and staff.

We are very blessed that our Day Camp is outside. It truly feels like camp. Here are some images of what we call home for one week every Summer for Girl Scout Day Camp.

Getting ready for creek walking. One of the many fun things we do at camp.

My younger daughter doing the Monkey Bridge. She was too scared to do it last year. This year she was determined to do it. She not only discovered courage she didn't know she had, but she learned sometimes we need to do things that are scary. She was so proud of herself! I am very proud of her. I did it last year along with my older daughter. I was very scared, but was proud of myself for doing it.
