Newborn - Clayton [San Miguel Photographer]

September 28, 2009

Meet Baby Clayton.  He has the most gorgeous head of hair and big full eyes that were always wide open.  He was an alert little guy.  Didn’t want to sleep, even at two sessions. ;)    His mommy and daddy are so super nice.  At the first session I had an equipment malfunction and so I had to return a week later. Thank you again for your time and the wonderful time visiting.

    Tutu Nibecker: You have captured his expression so beautifully!

    Newborn - Josie [Templeton Newborn Photographer]

    September 24, 2009

    Oh how I am loving all these newborns. Today was another wonderful little bundle of joy. The photographer the family has used for many years has moved back to Australia, so I was honored she called me. Josie was so good for me. And wow, the hair. I’ve had lots of newborns with full heads of hair. Mommy was so nice. Really enjoyed visiting with you today.

    Isn’t she beautiful?

    I do love black and white images, but I wanted to show this in color.  I know it has blues and I use wraps for texture, but the purple still says girly to me.

    Newborn - Jack [Central Coast Newborn Photographer]

    September 22, 2009

    Isn’t little baby Jack cute?  He was a snoozer - of course, sometimes I had to help him get back to snoozing, but he was a happy boy.  He made some adorable faces, like this first little grin.  He truly is a blessing to his mommy & daddy.

    Fall is coming. I started this session and the sun fell fast. I was getting worried I wouldn’t have enough light. But the light I had was fabulous. :) Maggie, you are the cutest thing. I so enjoyed visiting with you and your mom. I could have just chit-chatted all evening with you. Enjoy your sneak peek. Be in touch next week.

    2010 senior - Hope [Paso Robles Photographer]

    September 17, 2009

    This session I really enjoyed.  It was just Hope and I at her photo session and we had a great time. The session started off shopping - ha!  She had a dress on hold and wanted my opinion on it. ADORABLE! We started for some urban shots in Paso, then headed over to her grandparents house at the end of the session. You are so sweet and very beautiful.

    and we ended with some dramatic lighting.

    2010 Senior - Nathali [Templeton Photographers]

    September 14, 2009

    Meet Miss Nathali. She was up for my suggestion of doing a little urban downtown and then heading out to a quiet country road for some shots. She also brought along an easel and her paintbrushes and we set it up right there along the road.  Loved all her jewelry & accessories.  Thanks for bearing the chilly weather.  Fall is on the way - yay.

    Family portrait session [Paso Robles Family Photographer]

    September 12, 2009

    Remember this little chunk? Well, he’s turning 2! And he’s grown. And he has lots of energy. And he’s adorable. I chased him all around the backyard but as we know, two-year-old little boys have their own agenda. We worked with it. We played. We tickled. We ran around. And we got some doggie loving too. :)  Have a wonderful weekend at Cam’s birthday party.

    Enjoy.

    this makes me giggle.  he loved being upside down.

    and no, he’s not giggling at me.  grandma and grandpa are behind me - he thinks they’re quite funny doing silly dances behind me. ha!

    Now meet Chance & Charlie.  all I had to do for Chance was meow like a cat and he’s tilt his head back and forth with every noise.  pssst: look in his eyes.  see me standing there?!

    and this image melts me.  I want some of me loving my furkids.

    • Michelle B: We love them ok (ok, I don't love me in the legs shot but C is adorable!!!) These are ALL wonderful - we are *dying* to see the rest of the photos! The doggie shots are amazing too!!! Chancer with his ears up (he's so cute!!) and I already cherish the shot of Charlie + I. Can't wait to see the rest!!!! Thank you!!!! Waiting with baited breath :)

    melissa zihlman: I love the family shot with C upside-down...it is just perfect! And the last shot totally melts my heart! Well done, friend.

    Kim Prochazka: These are adorable! I would love a pic of us lovin on our furbaby too. When are you flying over for a visit? ;)

    2010 Senior - Brittany [Paso Robles Photographer]

    September 11, 2009

    I had been looking forward to this session since Brittany first contacted me and said she’d like to have shots with her horse too.  I needed to find the perfect spot and just wasn’t liking anything, until I thought of the little teeny tiny town of Creston - yeah, that place that has 2 paved roads, the other 3 roads are dirt.  So, meet Brittany and her horse Jack.  ps:  she has some great taste in jewelry and accessories too!

    Enjoy.

    2010 Senior - Kiersten [Templeton Photographer]

    September 6, 2009

    We met later in the evening at Hunter Ranch Golf Course.  It was nice and quiet and nobody was around, well, a couple men who would walk by and ask what we were doing and if we needed some handsome men to pose with the beauty I was photographing.  ;)   Laughter. Yep, we laughed and laughed. Kiersten has the best personality. I had such a great time with her and her mother. Both are so kind and easy-going.  I love, love, love that she switched up here hair style.  not just once, but several times.

    Seriously, had a blast. Thanks for being so fun… and beautiful.  Enjoy your sneak peek. It is a bigger share, because I was wanting to show off some of what Hunter Ranch Golf Course has to offer.
