Dori had her first ultrasound last month, and this is what it told us. Couldn’t be happier. :)

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. :) :) :)





Last 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:

Last 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.











Back 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…









A few weeks ago, Kimm asked if we could do a family session at their house in Valley Center. After agreeing and setting a date, I asked, “How many kids do you have?” The answer: Four.
Four sweet, amazing children–who apparently really enjoy smiling. Or maybe we just caught them on a good day. Either way, if the sun hadn’t gone down I could have gone on taking pictures of these kids for a long, long time. As you can see, the setting was great, too. The horse is theirs (our first family + equine shoot), as are the corrals, trees, and various settings you see in the pictures.
Crandall family, thanks for having us. We had a blast!!!



Aaaaand, the horse. In search of alfalfa. Not even vaguely interested in anything else but hay.
