Holiday Mini Shoot Success!

My first ever holiday mini shoot marathon was a TOTAL blast! 5 great families, 10 gorgeous kids! Thanks so much to Debbie and Richard for letting us use their amazing house and yard - and thanks to all the families for having such well-behaved, sweet kids! Here's a sneak peek into our morning....
And FYI there is one slot left for my next mini-session on 10/3 - in Golden Gate Park. Contact me asap to sign up!

Twin One, Twin Too!

And for the life of me, I cannot tell them apart. OK, maybe without the multiple wardrobe changes I'd figger it out....but then that's probably giving myself too much credit. I guess if they were my kids, I'd have to tattoo one of them. Or something. Now I'm nervous that all the pics are of only one of the twins. At least I know who the big brother is!

Big J, swinging the world by the tail!

Could I ask for more beautiful eyes? The entire family had peepers worthy of song, but none more than 8-month old "J"! While he didn't give up his smiles easily, I didn't mind - you see, his face is so expressive and those eyes just melted me into a heap of non-stop shutter pressing photog love.
Enjoy your sneak peek, T Family!

My 3-day old Nephew!

Surely I'm NOT biased. But this kid is
b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.!!!

Meet 'Rocky', all 8lbs 5ozs of his newborn deliciousness. Born after only an hour (ahem) of pushing, on 8.28.09 at 2:00pm. I just had to make a special trip down to LA to meet him, and hang out with his proud big sisters....who, by the way, were the best photog. assistants for me. (Don't worry, I repaid their patience with a trip to Baskin-Robbins!).
We're so bummed we don't live closer, but I feel so lucky to have gotten to meet him already. Thank you baby Rocky for being my latest muse!
(This first pic was inspired by Megan Wilkinson - a fabulous photographer who I hope to be half as good as one day...)
