We’ve had a lot of gray days around here this summer, but as you can see that can make for some beautiful photographs. Taina, Rodolfo, and Gabriel were all excited about their impending addition. And as if this family couldn’t get any cuter, that new baby has already arrived, and wait until you see him!

I spent a lively morning with Jolene, Eliza, and the quiet company of baby-to-be. I couldn’t resist photographing their labrador as well, who was such a gentle creature as you might decipher. I’m looking forward to photographing the whole family in November, along with the new baby of course.

While I’m on the topic, if you are interested in a family photo session with me in time for holiday cards, please let me know. The calendar is filling up fast! Separate from that I will be holding another portrait event at Sweet Child of Mine children’s boutique in Monterey, November 19th and 20th, 10:30 to 2:00. Those will be studio style mini-sessions lasting about 10 minutes each. There is no sitting fee. Call or email me soon to get in on that!

And now, Jolene’s beautiful baby belly!

It was a beautiful day at the beach and Heather was glowing in the final days of her pregnancy. It was the perfect time to capture her and her family while her sister’s family visited from out-of-state. We had a lot to accomplish in one afternoon and I’m really happy with the results.
