Austin's Graduation Announcement; San Diego High School Senior Photographer

I had a great time meeting and photographing Austin earlier in the year. He's an old soul, cordial and really funny. I felt like I was hanging out with a friend.

Recently, I put together his graduation announcement (some of the info has been changed - obviously). It was so fun working on creating something fun and fresh.

With summer just around the corner, I'm feeling like there is going to be a needed season of fun and fresh for me and the family.

Happy Monday!

Shy?

It's hard to believe this one was my shy one. She always wanted to be in the sling, hardly looked at people, and would only go to a limited few as a baby. Oh, and did she cry. Leave her in the nursery at church -waaaaaaaaa -how about with a babysitter -waaa?waa?wa?wa! - at the gym -waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! (ok, I didn't even try that one until she was three).

Then she started preschool - cute little summer program, she didn't cry the first day or even the first week. When fall came, she was seasoned and slowly we started to see her crawl out of her shell. She is so happy in the company of her peers. With kindergarten heading our way this fall, I'm sad & excited.

Full of Cups

I was at Extraordinary Desserts yesterday waiting for a client, just relaxing sipping a cappuccino, taking random shots. The sky light was casting beautiful moody light everywhere. I've been wanting a sky light in my kitchen for a while. It's tough to put that project on the budget priority, but some day my kitchen will light up the house.

I didn't realize all my random shots were of cups or containers until later. My cup is full theses days. Full of transitions, full of tragedy, full of pace, full of hope, full of gratefulness... a season of fullness.

Sonja & Dave

I met Sonja while teaching Kindergarten at few years back. We've spent our share of Friday nights at the Bunco table too. That's where the stories would come. Stories of traveling, stories of dating, the stories of life.

When the story of Dave arrived, there was a definite excitement.

Happy Marriage Sonja & Dave!
