I posted a sneak peek of Josh & Laura’s engagement session a few days ago. While the e-session photos aren’t quite ready, I got a special request to show some of the photos we took of them with their son Johnny. As you can tell from the previous sneak peek, Josh & Laura are pretty cute. And Johnny is proof that two cute people make beautiful babies!
Laura brought this rad poncho as a prop. I loved all the color and this family shot of them with it is one of my faves!
I think Johnny will make an excellent assistant… in about 15 years.
Laura, Josh & Johnny… your family is so stinkin’ cute! Stay tuned for your e-session photos!

I’m doing my favorite thing ever and ringing in the new year with my nieces and nephews. Even better, we are at a cabin in the snow! Hope you are enjoying this special time as much as I am.
Happy New Year! 2010 is going to be the best year ever!

….aaaaand I’m back!
After a refreshing break from blogging, I figured I would have to post something really stupendous in order to make up for all the lost time. So, I’m introducing the Jacobson Family.
Harmony is one of the ex-college roomies of a co-worker of mine. I took photos of the co-worker’s family, who posted them on Facebook, where Harmony saw them and instantly had to have me take photos of her family too. I love it when that happens! Since Harmony and her family live in Hawaii, we weren’t sure when we’d ever be able to schedule a session, only that “someday” we’d make it happen. Someday came sooner than later when my family decided that Hawaii was a great place to take a family vacation this year. After a few emails, phone calls, and a puddle-jumper flight between Oahu & Kauai, I found myself at the Jacobson’s front door.
The first thing I noticed about the Jacobson’s? They are tall. No, correction. They are TALL. The second thing I noticed? Harmony is made of funny. Her blog is awesome. She is awesome. I would make her hang out with me all the time if she didn’t live in the middle of the ocean. And, perhaps because she is an amazing photographer herself, she had already geared up her family to have the raddest photoshoot ever.
We traveled to Ko Olina Resort for our session where the heat and humidity made it feel like it was 300 degrees. But it was gorgeous. And as Harmony and her family unpack themselves from the car, she says to me, “No formal shots. I just want to see my family as they are. Just do your thing.” Seriously, Harmony… why don’t you live closer to me??
Colin had been working on a magic trick to show me…
I told the kids to go “dog pile” their parents… this is the aftermath of an ill-placed little boy’s elbow. (Sorry, Blake!)
I’ve had a shot in my head for awhile that had a family snuggling up in a quilt together. That’s kind of hard to do successfully when it’s 500 degrees out…
So happy they toughed it out though… this is one of my faves from the day…
We were having so much fun, I basically shot until it was too dark to see…
Harmony, Blake, Colin & Kate,
I am keeping my blue hair forever because of your enthusiastic endorsement. Thanks for welcoming me to Hawaii. Thanks for keeping me giggling the whole time. You guys are the best! XOXOXO
PS… you wanna know what our session was like from Harmony’s perspective? Read this.

Sarah & her kids are some of my favorite repeat clients. I began photographing Sarah way back when her little man was a teeny tiny thing… through her pregnancy with Cassette, to the present and everything in between. She was one of the first people who believed in what I did and just rolled with it as I learned.
Since life is moving by at a breakneck speed for this little family, Sarah decided that photos on a Indian summer’s day were in order. Since the kids would be less than pristine once we reached the sand, we got a few of the “clean shots” out of the way first…
And then on to the beach!
Almost 2-year-olds tend to get distracted along the way and think the destination might not be all that it’s cracked up to be…
But they recover nicely when told they can finally go play!
When I pointed my camera in his direction, Noe gave me this:
… when he really felt like doing this:
As he wasn’t really in the mood to get sandy and wanted to “gooooo noooow, moooooom,” I just let him do his own thing. He eventually came around. Cassette, however, enjoyed every minute of it!
