lake tahoe & todd wees

August 5, 2010

my family recently returned from a trip to lake tahoe… such a wonderful summer trip in the midst of our central-coast ultra-mild weather and daily morning fog.

we made sure we timed our trip in order to see our friend todd wees perform. todd recently released an album of kids’ music (i love his tagline… ‘music for kids, by a big kid!’) my two girls just love his songs. attending two of todd’s performances was an awesome addition to our weekend.

kite festival – squaw valley high camp

todd singing – round 2 for the day

my girls – avery and logan – and a whole bunch of yummy sun flare

you’ll recognize some of my photos on todd’s site… you can listen to his music from there too! check it out: http://www.toddwees.com

i promise to get back in the swing of posting session pictures soon here… but for now, just a before and after shot of my sweet avery:

after falling off our dining table bench… (she’s nearly 3) so the photographer’s kid now has 4 years of a missing front tooth!

i’ve had clients say that they think pictures at the beach are cliche. maybe, but i think a session with me is always unique.

jimmie, the girls and i headed down to the pier the other night to enjoy this amazing place where we live.

i spend so much time photographing other people’s families, sometimes my own gets a little neglected, especially my husband jimmie. i made sure to include him in the pics i took tonight at the beach (more to come from tonight, i hope!)

my daughter logan at the park this week… i’m loving the intense look and her wild hair from the static of the slide.

bathtime | week 3/52

January 14, 2010

there’s nothing better than bath time around here. sisters get along, giggle, laugh and splash, and everyone comes out smelling sweet and ready for bed.

our town | week 2/52

January 10, 2010

after sharing this image with a group of fellow photographers, i was told how much the signs indicate our sweet small town. i’ve always loved this sign. the surroundings aren’t the best… lots of wires and street signs and a bus stop bench just out front, but the theater itself is great. i can smell that burning popcorn oil now.

last of the lights | week 1/52

January 3, 2010

so… i’m attempting to take one ‘out of the norm’ image each week this year. i initially thought i’d take one per day, but i know myself too well to think that i could even CHOOSE 365 pictures for the year, let alone pick up my camera daily and find creativity. (no guarantees that i won’t throw in a few images of the two most gorgeous girls i know…) on new year’s day, i hadn’t taken any pictures, so at 10pm i found our christmas lights to be my best subject. they would come down the next day after all. maybe light will be my theme for the year?
