I met Ben, Debbie, Zach, and Taylor at Windansea for their family portraits. The kids had such a great time running up and down the beach collecting seashells that before we knew it, the sun was getting low in the horizon!
I made sure to get a few images of just Ben & Debbie because often times, when couples have kids, they stop getting photos of themselves…
The Sullivan family was all together for Christmas this year, which was a rare treat for all of them. Mom and Dad lost their home in Rancho Bernardo in the fires.
We met at La Jolla Cove, on a very cold but not rainy afternoon right before the new year started.
The family.
The “kids” and granddaughter.
Mom and dad.
And one of Grandma and her little sweetie with her special scrunchy face.
One more of four generations of the family on my blog.
I met with the Zarrella Family at Old Poway Park to create some new family heirlooms. It was a busy weekend for me, but it’s my good fortune that I was able to squeeze
them in and get to know them a little bit.
Notice the slab of rock in the foreground of this last portrait. That’s what’s left of the family pool table. “Slater” was hauled around the park to be included in as many images as possible. He will be built into the new home as well.
This image also became the Zarrella family Christmas card, which contained a beautiful sentiment written by Marta. The line that gets me every time is “Home is where the heart is- and that is safe and sound”.
As a photographer, I am privileged to peek in to the lives of many people. The Zarrella’s are a wonderful, strong family that I am honored to have met.
on friday i had my first project heirloom shoot with the shack family. even though their three girls have moved away from san diego, they all came home for thanksgiving with their husbands (and of course jen brought their two cutie boys too!). here are a handful of photos from the shoot.
