Dawn and Maia

It was wonderful to see you in CO. You guys were all smiles. Love ya.

Colorado Rocky Mountains

We recently returned from a trip to Colorado. They whole family enjoyed hiking and hanging out with family. The columbines where in full bloom. Our almost four-year old city slicker adjusted quickly to the fun in Colorado.
Playing with the horses was her favorite activity.
Getting together with new cousins.
Enjoying the view in Pikes National Forest!

Nikki, Price, and ?

Last weekend we met Nikki and Price at Coronado for a maternity shoot on the beach. It was an absolutely beautiful day at the beach with a slight breeze and plenty of sunshine. I posted a super-sneak-peak earlier in the week. We really enjoyed watching them interact. Here are more shots from this beautiful couple.

This whole shot was Julia's idea and I was a bit skeptical, but now I think that it is my new favorite shot of all time! I wish we had this on a big canvas in our home.Nikki and Price, thank you again for sharing this special time with us. We can't wait to meet the little baby.

more disneyland

For Father's day and our nephew's birthday we drove up to Disneyland. Here's a quick glimpse at a few images from the day. We had such a good time with the whole Schafer family. There were a ton of people and the weather was a bit warm, but it still is the "happiest place on earth". We were all wiped out by the end of the day. on the Nemo ride...

lots of waiting in line....but everyone did great!

he learned to wink and wanted to show all of us.... i guess leaning his head helps a bit...

weeeeeeeee......

and.....we're done.

confession

okay...so I have a confession. With Julia and the kids gone for a few days, I'm fending for myself in the dinner department. When it comes to food choices, I have never made the best decisions for myself, but today I think I hit a new low. My dinner of choice tonight seems to have given me a bit of a stomach ache. but it sure tasted good!
...tomorrow I will do better.

Disneyland !

The whole Schafer clan was at Disneyland on Monday. Here's the end-of-the-day-shot of the whole family (taken by the innocent bystander waiting for his family....poor fella, he knew I was eyeing him to take the picture and he just kept looking away.) These are pretty big smiles for such a long day, but we all had a great time.

Father's day ver 6.3

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there. Hope you are enjoying your day!

A Great Family

Here are some of the pictures we captured at the Presidio at the last mini-shoot. We had a blast with this fun family.

Just us

Here's a few from a few weeks ago. We arrived a bit early for a session. Two photographers with cameras and a few spare minutes resulted in some fun shots of each other.
