Hurley Fans

I got this photo off the Hurley Website (thanks, Uncle Darrell!). It was so great to scroll through the event photos and to find my kids on there. And then with Taylor Knox from my Yoga For Surfers DVD. Fun! (Kai actually did Yoga with me two days ago, thanks, Taylor!)

Back to School

A very cool Grandma called to schedule a shoot for her grandkids, before the oldest headed off to college. We met at the beach on a very cold and windy day. But we got to have Catalina in the background. Doesn't happen often. These 2 sisters and 2 brothers were obviously close and very fun to work with. And very easy on the camera, too!

Hurley US Pro at Trestles

My kids and I went to the Hurley US Pro event at Trestles today. Pretty exciting. Got to see some amazing surfing. Kai and Makena were collecting autographs on their little Balsa surfboard model. Their favorite one was from Kelly Slater. This picture below totally cracks me up. Just some local San Clemente surf groms. Way too cool!!!!! Kelly Slater, watch out!

First San Clemente Shoot

This was my first shoot in San Clemente. After getting off the phone when this session was booked, I felt like I had known this mom forever. Couldn't wait to meet her in person. This shoot was really touching to me, it was great to see the strong bond between these two. Demetrius (isn't that the coolest name?) was not only polite and fun, but turned out to be a natural in front of the camera. Check out his many "faces" and looks. Ambercrombie, line up now! I love all these pictures, but the close up of the two heads together is my favorite. Wish I had one of me and my little guy at that age.

Sweet Courtney

I met this little lady (and her mom) at the beach this summer. She was only 6 weeks old, and I saw her grow, daily. Must have been all that good ocean air. She is the newest arrival and child number 6. Her parents couldn't be sweeter, lots of love in this family.

Birthday Baby

As promised here are a few more of my "birthday baby". Isn't she sweet?
