Squidly....

ROFL....that's what I always call her. "Squid" or "Squidly", ha. She'll hate me if I call her that when she's older! Today we were playing around in the yard (it was Coooooood out!). She is not one that tolerates me and my camera very well. Every now and again she'll give me one of those "America's Next Top Model" poses - but only a handful and she is done. She's REALLY into the pageants right now - so I thought I would try and get some shots for her portfolio. Not quite sure if any of these cut it. She wanted to be inside where it was warm, ha ha. These were taken at about 2pm....but it was slightly overcast. She still insisted that the sun was too bright -- and you can see it in her face, lol.

Here are a few that we got~

A couple of couples....

Yesterday afternoon I met with two couples at Huntington Beach State Park. I swear we laughed through the entire session! These guys were so much fun to work with. We started in the castle and then moved down to the beach after the sun went down a bit. It was still quite bright but provided us with a beautiful pink and blue sky.

Here are a few previews from our time together~

60th Anniversary

Yesterday I met with a family of 8. They were here on vacation celebrating their grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. I have to say that this group was GREAT to work with. It was freeeezing down on the beach and they took it with "a grain of sand" (pun intended)! We battled the fall sun - very bright at 3:30pm and gone by 5pm. These guys were SO much fun, full of personality! Sessions like these are the reason I LOVE my job ;)!

Miss CF...Class of 2008

This afternoon I met with the beautiful CF from Saint James High School. It was a beautiful day for pictures -- even if it was a little chilly. We met at Huntington Beach State Park and shot in and around the castle. I so love it there...walk 5 feet and have a totally different backdrop and feel. C made things very easy for me. She's a lovely girl with a super personality. We both had fun trying NOT to smile for certain pics. She'd get serious, I'd pop a grin and she'd laugh, ha ha.

C, I really enjoyed meeting and working with you! Here are a few previews from our time together. Hope you love 'em!

Boy, OH Boy....

Oh boy, I met with my little Finn monster this afternoon. He is 14 months old now and a go-go gadget! I'm a little rusty when it comes to toddlers zooming around, ha ha. He had me laughing so hard throughout the session that I found it hard to press the shutter button (without camera shake that is, lol). I never thought I'd have a tough shoot with a little one that laughed SO MUCH! He has got to be one of the happiest babies I've seen in a while. Full of spunk and curiosity. I JUST ADORE HIM!
