Two Families on the Beach

I met these two families at the beach at Lover's Point. They are related the mother in one family is brother to the father in the other. The couple with the new 1 year old were visiting from Tennessee. So I was glad I could capture a little bit of their time together. What great families! I took about 500 photos, and had 18o something left after editing! These are some of my favorites.

Sweet Kindergesicht (baby face)

I spent some time Wednesday photographing this little 7 month old cutie. His parents are from Germany and his daddy is in the German Navy. He is here studying at the Naval Post Graduate School. Sadly, they will be returning soon. They go home with a great souvenir of their time spent in America...this little guy!!

The really interesting thing is their last name is Mandel, too! I couldn't believe it! I had a great time talking with them. I found out that Mandel means Almond!! Who'd have guessed? We're a nutty family!

So below are my favorites from the session. She had him dressed so cute! I love the red bean bag she brought for him to sit in! Notice his black shirt reads, "Come to the dark side...We have cookies"! How funny!

Sweet Baby Girl

I photographed this brand new to the world little girl on Friday. I'm a little behind in posting, I was enjoying my weekend. This little girl is my neighbor's 4th child and she is, as you can see, adorable. Unfortunately when I met up with her for photos, she wasn't in her quiet sleepy state, she was a little irritated with us for removing her clothes and her nice warm blanket. We did capture a few great shots though. This session has convinced me I must buy a space heater to keep these newborns toasty and sleepy! I think I may use the heating pad too.

So here are my favorites for you to enjoy.

There's No Place Like Home!

I love an excuse to take pictures! Lucy is just so darn cute, I had to take some photos of her Toto style! I think these turned out really cute! It's hard to photograph a constantly moving target, but these were caught at just the right moment! Enjoy!
