Christmas Eve

I hope everybody had a great Christmas. We got to spend Christmas Eve on Coronado with family. It was awesome. Nothing like great people and great food. Throw in 4 dogs, 2 tweens and an adorable toddler and it's a perfect evening. One highlight was a quick walk to the Hotel Del Coronado. The kids got to ice skate (Kai for the first time)and all of us were treated to an incredible sunset. It was really clear that day, you could see the (Mexican islands) of the coast (pink picture in the middle).
All of these photos are straight out of the camera, no photo shop.

Merry Christmas

Sweet Twins

These sweet 2 week old twins loved snuggling up together. Can you tell that the boy was a whole pound heavier at birth? Amazingly,these two not only have big brother Jonah (see below), but also have 14-month old twin siblings. What gorgeous kids.

Pilot and His Lady

Here are is a WWII inspired shot and a nice close up of this beautiful couple. Actually, they told me they have a picture of a pose like this from their wedding many years ago. Sweet to see that the magic is still there.

Airport Museum Shoot

I was thrilled when this family booked a session at an airport. Everybody knows I love the beach, but you may not know that ever since I was a little girl I loved flying in planes. I grew up near an airport, heard Berlin airlift stories from my parents, and loved traveling by plane. I played stewardess and was actually accepted to be a flight attendant for Lufthansa. Then my life took a totally different turn (including a history degree, anything old is extra cool). So being at a plane museum at an airport, with my camera and a beautiful family was a treat. I'm super excited to share these pictures, I had to wait until their Christmas cards were mailed :)
Thanks, G. family, I hope you'll love these pictures as much as I do.










P.S. I love boats, too, I used to race in an Olympic boat class (470) and have a couple of skipper's licenses, I'd love to do a boat/yacht session. In due time, I'm sure.
