Hi everyone! I’m so excited for 2012 it’s going to be an amazing year. I KNOW IT!

to kick off the year I have this amazing session to show you.

We shot it in November however I didn’t want to ruin the holiday card surprise.

Seriously I love this kid. He is so adorable.

His parents are super fun too!

I love Jessica’s smile, it’s one of those from the heart smiles that warms you right up!

It was a little cold! Thanks to everyone for bearing the cold to do this session at this awesome location.

You guys don’t even look cold at all! ;-)

Next year we can do the yearly family portrait somewhere warmer!!

I teased you back in this session with this gorgeous little girl and her smile.

I am happy to share this whole session with you!

san franciscoI am sad to just have met such an awesome family and already say goodbye.

You see they moved back to the East Coast and this session was taken as they said goodbye to San Francisco.

as you can tell the kids aren’t too happy to leave!

I loved spending time watching the parents. They are such a  great looking couple!

I asked how they met.. High school sweethearts!! Isn’t that awesome to still be in love after so many years.

I love how he looks at her in this next image

Each child is always unique! These three were no different although they did agree they liked the foods their mom cooked for them!!

They were all adorable, however this little one I fell in LUV with!!

She has so much energy and spunk and doesn’t let her big brothers get too far ahead!

As she gets older I bet she will have lots of scrapes and bruises from skatebording, bike riding and chasing her big brothers!!!!

I wish the whole family the best, on their new venture!

Nick & Sarah: I hope you guys come back and visit and give me a ring -or I can always fly out to capture more fun times! ;-)

(leave well wishes for the family in the comments below! )

Dingo

Dingo turns ONE today!!!!

He doesn’t look a day over “big adorable puppy” months old. HE HE

He is a Labradoodle and they got him as a tiny puppy. I had the best time hanging out with Dingo during Wayne & Amy’s Maternity session.

OK I watched him play with other dogs!

Amy had previously told me “we are those crazy dog people that want our dog in our maternity session”.

I honestly did not think they were crazy at all!  And then I met Dingo and realized maybe I was “that crazy family photographer” that forgets about the gorgeous couple and just wants to play in the sand with this big furry ball of Love.

Seriously who can resist this face?

I think that when the babies come he will be a tiny bit sad that he has to share his parents, however once he figures out that he now has more humans to play with…

HE WILL FORGET about his human parents. HE HE (except at dinnertime)

Until then He is an only child and spoiled rotten!

labradoodle training

happy Birthday Dingo!
