Alexander {Senior Portraits}

I had the wonderful privilege of taking this guys Senior Portraits. This handsome young man is in his senior year at Valley Center High School and after graduation will be headed to NAU. We had a fun time at the beach and we had great weather!  It was too bright at times but we made it work.  These are some of my favorites.

 

 

 

Happy 4 Years! {Ryan}

I did this big guys pictures a few weeks ago.  I've been taking his pictures since forever and I can hardly believe that he is 4!  He really makes me work hard for pictures.  His sessions typically involve his Mommy and me running....a lot!!  But I still manage to get some great shots that really capture his personality.  These are some of my favorites!

 

 

SURPRISE...It's a BOY! {Falefitu Family}

I had the unique opportunity to be part of such a special moment in the life of a special friend.  Bethany has been my dear friend since the 7th grade and our boys have grown up together.  At our age we thought we were done having kids and then surprise...she's pregnant!  What a special gift from God!  With her first child she didn't find out what she was having so with this one we decided to have a little fun with it.  I was the ONLY one that knew what they were having and was in charge of preparing the box and the balloons.  It was great to be able to capture their surprise and excitement and they saw blue balloons coming out of the box.  These are some of my favorites!

 

Rancho Santa Fe Community Center {Poker Tournament}

This was the second event that I was asked to photograph for the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center.  They held a huge Poker Tournament & Casino Night to help raise money for their Community Center.  The room was filled with about 50 competitors plus numerous spectators.  Everyone had such a great time enjoying the yummy food, the awesome band, the open bar and playing for the kids.  These are some of my favorites.
