Ali in an alley | san diego family photographer

There's no better compliment than a lovely family coming back and trusting you to capture some memories for them.  Today I got to photograph Roxanne, Craig and Ali for the second time and they were such great sports, trapsing up and down the streets and yes, even alleys of downtown san diego.  Here are just a few from today's session...

Let's start with our blog title - Ali in an alley ;)  Isn't she adorable!?










I love this one...

A dozen smiles | San Diego family photographer

Today I met one of the most fun, charming, and beautiful families in all of San Diego. Seriously. I'll admit being a shade nervous anticipating my largest group yet - eight adults and four kiddos under three - but I had *such* a great time photographing all of them.

As you can imagine, shooting a large group means LOTS of pictures, so this post is going to be word light and photo HEAVY (which is how most would prefer it anyway. lol)! Let's get to the sneak peeks...

Let's start with where it all started - Roberto and Ana (and their furbabies, too!).

With their grandbabies...

The whole gang!

Check out Ruthie and Peter heating things up. Careful you two - that's how you got the lovely Valencia and Toby ;)

Definition of cute = Toby

Go ahead...melt from the sweetness! :)

Another furbaby, Cooper, getting in on the photo action...

Hayley, Eduardo, and Adrian looking fab.

I found myself a little jealous of Adrian's wardrobe ;)

Dan, Jessica, and little Sophia being beautiful together...

I swear Sophia is "smizing" like no one's business. Tyra would be proud ;)

LOVE this family. Great job guys!

Sneak Peek for Mr. T!

So yesterday afternoon I met the most adorable little boy. T is seven years old and as could be expected, he is very much an active boy and wanted to do everything except get his picture taken. ;) lol But he put up with me and my camera just long enough to get some great shots of him. I always ask the older kids if they have boyfriends or girlfriends because I think their reactions (to this always seemingly absurd question) are hilarious, and T didn't let me down. Well T, if you don't have any girlfriends now, I'm sure you'll have plenty of girls chasing after you when they see these. :)

Like I said, very active guy. :)

Not to mention, totally handsome

With this ring...

September 15, 2008.
I got a new sister.

Congratulations to my brother and his new wife.
Welcome to the family "Cyndada" ;) We love you.

Sneak peek for V & E-Money

Two great friends of mine are celebrating their 7-year anniversary this week, and they asked me to take some photos to help them commemorate the occasion. I knew it was going to be a fun time, because these two are funny separately and hilarious together. I wish I could show you all the "outtakes"...funny, funny stuff. But all laughing aside, you can tell just by looking at them, that they are MFEO (if you have to ask...I suggest watching Sleepless in Seattle).

Thank you guys for letting me take your anniversary photos, and I hope you two had as much fun as I did!

Teasers for T&C

I'm going to be an auntie and I am beyond excited. Yesterday evening, I had the honor of photographing my "baby" brother and his girlfriend, who are equally (ok...maybe a teeeeeny bit more) excited!

Hope you like your first peek...








Back with more soon...
