Many of us who've lived in San Diego for some time forget to take in the tourist attractions in our own city. The rich history of San Diego can be found everywhere. One of the places that we love to visit is the Presidio / Serra Museum in San Diego, just above Old Town. Yesterday, Susan and Brian met us there for a quick mini-session. Their son is wonderfully fun and photogenic young man with a knowing smile.
This beautiful lady was in town visiting her family. Last weekend we got a chance to spend some time with JeanJo and her kids, ......their kids, ...........and their kids...... Yes! A four generation get together. This was truly an honor for us to be welcomed into this family for an afternoon to capture them all interacting. Here she is "workin' it" for the camera.
Here's Bill and Suzie looking radiant.
and the great-grandchildren. 
Finaly, the whole gang!
Our family is full and well fed. We started the day by fighting the crazy 6 am crowd at Target and then ran home to have our "stuffing" omelet. That is an awesome recipe we got from Sam The Cooking Guy. BluDomain had great sales and I even donned red lipstick to get one of their great Black Friday deals. Anybody who knows me realizes I would never wear lipstick. I had to search the depths of my bathroom sinks to find some. So look for our new and improved web site to come soon.
To really get in the spirit, check out this great video by the Gap.

This beautiful family met us down by the bay last weekend for some family shots. We got so many photos of family, it was hard to choose which to put on the blog. Here are just a few.
The weather is supposed to clear up by Saturday and we still have 2 spots available for the Saturday Holiday mini-sessions. Contact us right away if you are interested.
We also have just a few standard session dates available for December.
My sister, nephew, and niece are in San Diego this week for Thanksgiving. Yesterday, we got a chance to go in the backyard a play for a while. We had football, bugcatching, and lots of giggling.
It's good be 2 months old.
Last week we had a blast taking "just for fun" shots at our kids school fall festival. Kids love to get in front of the camera and just ham it up. We did a "be crazy" photobooth and at times we had twelve kids trying to cram into the same picture. It was a carnival style production that was tons of fun. Can't wait to do it again next year. 
Jack Johnson's music is a big family favorite, I could almost hear him singing in the background during this session...
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away
While we were a little nervous about Mother Nature getting the best of us with her santa ana breezes, we ended up a beautiful park in Poway, a gorgeous sunset, and a great time. 
i absolutely love this shot!
There's a story here about Julie. In the rare occasions that she wants someone to do something "now", she will slap the back of one hand against the other palm. Seems the whole family knows the maneuver.
upside down.....is this how it's suppossed to be?
It's not easy being green....or keeping the grass green. A few weeks ago Julia spent some time with Larry and Wendy from PACE Turf. PACE Turf....
"provides expert, objective, science-based advice and information to the turf management community. Using research results, on-the-ground experience, and their over 50 years of combined knowledge in agronomy, plant pathology, entomology, weed science and turf science, PACE Turf has long been a leader in translating science into practical turf management information, and in helping turf managers prevent problems before they occur ."
They keep the beautiful golf-courses green..which isn't easy. Wendy and Larry needed some updated photographs for their website that showed a little more of who they are. Julia has some experience with the test tubes, microscopes, and beakers, (and playing in the dirt) so she jumped at the chance to meet them out at the beautiful Fairbanks Ranch Country Club and at their personal lab to capture who they are and what they do.
You need to go this link. This video really resonates in me. It's hard to describe. It takes a few minutes to watch. Inspiring. Simple portraits. A wonderfully powerful idea. I'm going to go find this book. Click here next: http://www.wisdombook.org/
She loves Starbucks, running, being "fashionably late", and has a kindness and empathy for others that is unmatched. He's a "niners' fan, can cook a mean Sunday morning pancake, and mixes THE most wonderful margarita on the planet. Together they share a love affair with their two light-saber-dueling-run-where-ever-we go boys. After a few reschedules, we were finally able to make it out for our official photo shoot near their home in Coronado. You may remember this family from a previous trip to the beach. With the final happy hour of beautiful late-Fall sunset light setting the stage, we had a blast on another beach adventure with our great friends.
