As stunning and glamorous as she looks, this mama was a champion going on a 2 hour hike to culminate with this shot, baby in belly, 9 month old in tow, 2 outfit changes, she was so perfect as well as her whole family.

The best age for newborn photo shoots is within two weeks of birth. At this age, babies sleep more and their joints are still very flexible. However, I do love seeing babies 3+ weeks old as they start to make eye contact and smile.

I’m currently working on my last client gallery

I’m currently working on my last client gallery from before everything got crazy and it is brightened my day a lot! My oldest son requested that I teach him how to “color” photos on my computer like I do, sounds like I’ll have an editing assistant one day 😊

When looking through freshly taken photos, there’s nothing that makes me happier than a genuine smile…. I’m not sure if I was trying to be funny for this shot or if I told them a silly joke (I have only managed to memorize about 4 from my 7 year old) but this couple definitely played along, or had a good time, or my camera was making funny faces at them. Either way, here’s to one more dad who thinks he is not photogenic 😁

I gotta admit, I wasn’t particularly excited about shooting at the very popular Carmel Beach for sunset on a nice Sunday evening. But this family made our job so easy that I almost forgot the crowds can be overwhelming...not this weekend, it was amazing and I can’t wait to shoot there again!

Last one, I couldn’t help it! While I need to pose families to some extent, I enjoy talking to them and prompting them to bring up those natural expressions.

— It’s so important to let them be themselves

— It’s so important to let them be themselves and never crush their spirits, let them dance, let them run, and twirl....sometimes parents contact me and express their concern about their wild children that won’t stay still, my response is always the same: I don’t want them to stay still if they don’t want to, they should be themselves and we’ll figure it out. —- This photo is #straightoutofcamera with #nofilter applied and I LOVE it. All I had to do is ask her to dance like a ballerina and dance away she did. —- The longer I work as a photographer, the more I realize that I am just a witness asked to document the moment.

Back when I used to be an underwater photographer.

Back when I used to be an underwater photographer. @espacioprofundo_revista, you’ve probably forgotten about me, but I’m still looking forward to the day I get back in the water.

This photo was taken during a live aboard in the Komodo Islands, Indonesia.

Pausing my dream, hopefully not for long... I have

Pausing my dream, hopefully not for long... I have been a business owner since 2012, it started out of a corner of the soon to be nursery room to my first unborn child.
-
From the very beginning my dream was to own a studio, a bright little space where I could see families, newborns, friends, businesses owners... A year ago my dream came true and the doors to my photography studio opened in downtown Monterey. -

Today I gave the keys up, I had been emptying the space for the last two weeks and this morning I had to say goodbye. -

My role as a full time mom right now is essential, I’ve constantly tried to find time to figure out how to pivot my business, how NOT to keep draining my savings. But I have to be here for my family, self employed or not.... -

I’m dreaming of the days when I can see you again and tell you a joke to make you laugh or fix your hair for a shot less than 6 ft away. I dream of the breakthroughs I will have as an artist. I dream of a world without #covid_19
-

Certainly, it will happen. But for the moment I’m limiting myself to continuing my education in photography and gaining strength for a #comeback -

Thank you to all of those that supported me during the existence of my short-lived dream and hope to resume the journey as soon as our community is no longer under threat. -

With love,

Your photographer that misses you, a lot!
