In new year of 2012 I have much to celebrate. We welcomed our new daughter to the world with her arrival in November. She is growing fast, too fast for me of course. But I was able to capture some sweet sleepy moments during her first week that I love looking back on.
More image blog posts to come soon, including posting some more of my personal work to show you what I have been up most recently during this special time with our little ones.
Here’s a few more photos from one of the recent Green Mom photo sessions. We made a delicious lunch complete with sandwich packed into an earth friendly recyclable carrying case. Making the lunch was fun for both the mom’s and little ones.
We had a blast the other day photographing these images for Fredrica Syren’s Green Mom project. We were blessed with a beautiful San Diego October morning to garden, picnic and play in the grass. See below for a preview of a few of the images from this shoot.
Check back in the coming months to see more images from the Green Mom sessions and information on the up-coming launch of the Green Mom website.
We had a fabulous Sunday afternoon celebrating the launch of Fredrica Syren’s new vegan cookbook, “Yummy In My Tummy, Healthy Cooking for the Whole Family.” The La Jolla Woman’s Club was the perfect spot for this Sunday afternoon garden party. The event included vegan treats as well as an energetic performance by the organic kid-folk band Hullabaloo. Everyone enjoyed the celebratory afternoon complete with good friends, family and music to kick off the launch of this new cookbook.
Many thanks to Fredrica for inviting me to participate in such a special project. Through working with Fredrica I have been able to photograph two subjects that bring me much joy in life - adorable little ones and delicious food!
Doesn't this look like fun!
This summer and fall has been a busy one for me full of interesting projects, beautiful events and wonderful people. One celebration ahead I am really looking forward to is this, Sunday, October 16th. The launch party for the the vegan cookbook project I've been working on with the talented author, Fredrica Syren will be held this week end. Fredrica's vision is to share healthy, easy cooking tips with families. I had the pleasure of photographing and tasting many of her delicious recipes through our series of photo shoots. This project was particularly fun for me, since we were also able to have the entire family and friends participate in the photography sessions to create lifesytle portraits featured in the book.
The official launch party for the book is this weekend at La Jolla Woman's Club. See below for the article ran this week in the local paper, La Jolla Village News. For those who are interested in purchasing the book, you can find it on online at www.amazon.com, "Yummy in my Tummy, Healthy Cooking for the Whole Family" by Fredrica Syren.
As you can tell by the big smiles and true joy this couple share just being together, my job was easy. Meet Hugh and Susan, a wonderful couple who hired me to take their portrait together for their four year anniversary. We had a blast just goofing around and enjoying the beautiful day.
We were on the road again this month to have the pleasure of documenting this very special wedding day for Logan and Josh. Their wedding was at the Upcountry History Museum in Greenville, South Carolina. Perfect location, as the bride was not only born in South Carolina but also a history major in college.
We encountered all that spring can bring on this wedding day, complete with thunderstorms that parted into gorgeous spring sunshine just in time for these photos.
Congratulations Logan and Josh. We wish you many years of happiness ahead!
I really had a blast working on this project. So thought I’d share a few of the outtakes from my most recent session this month. Isn’t making salad with little ones fun.
I had the pleasure of meeting some really wonderful people this weekend as I worked with a talented photographer and friend of mine. We began our day photographing the bride getting ready at the groom’s parents home. Then we walked across the street to get some photos of the groom and his best man getting ready at the best man’s childhood home. Love it when you grow up living next door to your good buddy. That’s just the best.
The wedding ceremony was at Saint Terese Parish and the reception was at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse.
We got sprinkled on by a little bit of rain at times, but the sunshine made it through the clouds making for a beautiful reception complete with view of the water and the downtown San Diego skyline.
And I could not help but post this last shot. It was the sign on the front door of the best man's home. When I saw the sign I thought this captures the spirit of the day.
Here's some more of the images from the cookbook project I have been working on over the past few months. Heather Kern of pop shop studio created these three playful hip designs. Enjoy seeing how she brings the images to life. You will see that Fredrica Syren (author) of the cookbook appears with her sweet family in cover options below.
