The face of a writer...

This past weekend I did a quick head shot for one of the most amazingly talented up & coming writers.. she's funny, witty, intelligent, and can make you feel any emotion with just a few choice words. Her writing can make you cry one minute. . .and pee your pants laughing the next...

Check out her blog to see what I am talking about... The Lucky Paw

Kuz, I am so proud of everything you are and how amazing your writing is... you rock!!

Love,

Brothers will be brothers...

So the other day I had the pleasure of shooting portraits of Derick and Miles. . .brothers through and through. One minute they were laughing with each other. . .the next they were putting each other in headlocks. Well, the pics are definitely candid... and captured their different personalities. Whether or not any of them Mom can use for a holiday card is up to them (I think so)... I did capture a couple quick ones here and there when they were smiling and looking like they loved each other... if nothing else it was fun to wander around the Santa Barbara Courthouse on a beautiful afternoon.

And Guys... remember beware of ledges without glass... this ain't Chicago!! Isn't mom a little daredevil!!

Codie's Senior Pics .. Island Style

This past weekend I had so much fun shooting Codie's senior pics with her mom Marie. It's amazing the different backgrounds you can find within a Mackinac Island block. They were so cute together. . . you can tell by her laughter. . . how much fun she has laughing . . .with (or at) her mom...

Congrats Codie. . . and it was so fun to meet you. I wish we could have had more time. . . darn those boat schedules...

Good luck with V-ball!!

Love,
A
BTW... who would of thought it would look like a summer day in the middle of October!!

Welcome to the beach... Ulrike and her family

A little over a week ago I spent time at the beach with Ulrike and her beautiful family. I photographed Ulrike this past spring just before she gave birth to this adorable little boy....

I felt like a little bird on the tree just capturing this family playing together on an overcast Sunday morning... (even the clouds don't keep us away from the beach)

Ulrike, Thanks again for welcoming me into your family for a few hours... it was so much fun to play with you again!!

Love,
A
