Feeling Like a Cactus

More like the first two and hoping to be like the last soon.

Happily Ever After

LaFrancis Family

The beach is a natural place for me to bring families, and so is a great hiking spot. I enjoy the diversity it offers for photography, but also the relaxed environment. The LaFrancis's are family. Not biologically - but in all the other ways that matter.

Brig

This is my sister in law's dog Brig. I've been wanting to photograph more animals, but they always seem leery of the camera. Not Brig, he loved having me in his face, making random high pitched squeals and seeing his gorgeous reflection in the lens. It would be fun to have a dog of our own one day. Both my husband & daughter are allergic to most of them. Apparently poodles and a few other breeds are low on the sneezy radar.

El Cajon Harley-Davidson

That one isn't for sale, but what a classic.



A little self portrait.







I was at El Cajon Harley-Davidson last weekend shooting thier Holiday Kick Off with Santa. It was a fun group to spend the afternoon with and an amazing store.

Enjoying the Sun

I really enjoy meeting new families and capturing them at play. When I first arrived, I was welcomed and got acquainted with the kids. It seemed as though I had met Deb (the mom) before, but I just chalked it up to "one of those warm, familiar faces". We made our way to the water and play we did. After talking with Deb a bit more, I told her that she seemed familiar. We went through the list, until we hit profession. 'Math Professor' was her response. Well sure enough, I had taken two of her math classes in college. And yes that was a while ago.

Magical

These images are from a family session over the weekend... I'm not sure exactly why, but this set was mesmerizing for me. The lines, the movement, the colors, the playful anticipation, the fresh ocean air, the dogs running around - magical.

Bloglecting

Back from blog neglect (bloglecting). We were on vacation for a week and I've been happily photographing families. I'm not feeling to wordy today, just wanting to say hello. I'll be around to visit soon.

Yee Haw I Got a Butt Kicking!

I'm not sure what it was, but I was sick... sick... sick over the weekend. I haven't laid in bed like that since I was in the hospital delivering beautiful blessings - but even that seemed a little easier. I don't think it was H1N1 only because I didn't have any congestion or cough (decode symptoms at your own risk). But it got me thinking about H1N1.

I think the government is preparing for the worst. It seems like the current strain of H1N1 is mild. If it mutates will the Baxter vaccine still be effective? What do you think? To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?

In the mean time, I am climbing back to health. Thank God.
