Cute needs no introduction.
But, just in case, this is our niece, Addison. She is now four months old with a brand new smile. Just lovely. :) :) :)

We’re surrounded by babies!!!
May 18, 2010Evelyn at one week: Fallbrook newborn portraits
April 17, 2010Last month, we had the pleasure of meeting 9-day-old Evelyn. She was so sweet and only fussed a little bit as we moved her around and played with the light. And we even got her big brother, Sebastian, in the frame for a few minutes toward the end. What an amazing family; thanks guys (and especially Evelyn) for the great shoot!
I have two favorites from that day, and this is one:
And this is my other (most) favorite:
Kyle + Tessa: Seaport Village engagement pictures
April 4, 2010We had never met Kyle or Tessa until the day when we got together at Seaport Village to shoot their engagement pictures. So we had no idea how tall they were. Or how cool. He’s 6′10″, and they’re both off the charts for knowing how to chillax and look great for the camera. (Revision: Seems I exaggerated a bit–Kyle, I’ve been informed, is “only” 6′8″.) The only bad thing about this couple is that they’re getting married in South Dakota later this year. (Obviously not bad for them, and more like sad for us, since we can’t do their wedding.)
You can probably tell from the length of this post that we spent more time than usual with K&T. Again, that’s because they were so much fun to be with, and every pose was a WIN for Brooktown Photography.
Thanks so much, guys! You are going to have tall kids someday!!!
When Tessa called us to arrange where to meet, she said, “Do you know where the popcorn stand is?”
Seaport is hands down one of the best places in San Diego to watch the sunset. Most days it looks like it’s lowering itself onto the deck of one of the aircraft carriers moored across the bay.
A couple months ago, a good friend called up to ask if we’d shoot his sister’s wedding and engagement photos. It’s always flattering when that happens, and we of course agreed immediately.
Cyrus and Diane are awesome together. We already shot their wedding last week, and it’ll be a few weeks before we get those photos edited and up on the blog. In the meantime, here are a few of the best from their engagement session in downtown San Elijo.
Portraits in the Park
February 18, 2010Last month, we headed down to Live Oak Park in Fallbrook for a couple of family sessions, the first in what we hope will become a series of “Portraits in the Park” afternoons. For more information, shoot us an e-mail. Until then, enjoy.
The girls
February 13, 2010Addison was born on Jan. 19; we took her pictures on the 29th. (How’s that for being on-the-ball?) She is absolutely beautiful, and pretty mellow. At the beginning of the session, we cranked the heater so we could take off her PJs. Then we set her on a big, fluffy pillow with a soft blanket over it. She was soooo out. But then we started moving her around more, and she woke up and looked around. All in all, we took a couple hundred shots over a period of an hour. Here are the best, along with the three from our initial post.
Oh yeah, and Lorelai was there, too.
Quick glance at our newborn niece
January 30, 2010DISCLOSURE: We’re about to brag on the newest member of our extended family. Big time.
Well, all we’re going to do is put up a few pictures from her newborn session last night (she’s 11 days old). But it’s the same thing as bragging, because she’s so freakin’ cute!!!
Her name is Addison, her favorite color is pink (she has no choice), and her favorite thing to do is sleep. And be cute. And then go back to sleep.
Our little rockstar/niece
January 12, 2010If you watched the slide show in our earlier post of Lorelai talking, then you’ve already seen all the best pictures of our recent session with her at Buddy Todd Park in Oceanside. But we thought it would be worth reposting a few of our favorites in higher quality. (Update: As expected, she is now saying many more words and partial words and made-up words that only she understands. She is also combining words–e.g., growing up way too fast!!!)
Happy New Year from the Pfingsten + Rosas families
January 1, 2010Back in November, Tom’s mother asked if we would do the annual honor of photographing the Pfingsten/Rosas families. This would be a particularly special session, the first time since mom and dad moved into their new house that we’ve gathered for pictures. So we chose a spot in their new neighborhood, Shady Grove, and commenced with the shooting. We even got a few good pictures of us–thanks Annie!
We start with Tom’s three nephews, who have had plenty of time in front of the camera over the years…
Fallbrook family photos, Christmas edition
December 20, 2009A couple weeks ago, Brittnee called us to ask if we still had time for a quick pre-Christmas session, and quick was all we had time for–we were leaving for the Philippines in a matter of days. But we set a time, the rain let up long enough for the sun to shine on us for an hour, and we captured some really cute moments between Jon, Brittnee and their daughter.
I’ve known about Los Jilgueros Preserve in Fallbrook for many years. It’s always been a nice place for a quiet walk, but this was the first time we’d done pictures there. Jon and Brittnee actually chose the location, and we’re so glad they did! We’ll definitely be going back for more!
