EllaMae

I heard EllaMae babbling in her crib, so I got the camera and this is what I saw…

I can’t believe how big she’s geting. She’s already 8 months!

Owynn

I think Owynn is getting used to the camera now. He was getting a little restless, so I pulled out the camera and started playing with him. Not like before, he would never sit still! Now look at him…

The Aiello Family

A beautiful day in San Diego called for the perfect family shoot. The Aiello Family is from Allston, MA. So you know they were thrilled to be on vacation here in, sunny San Diego. Sophia loved La Jolla Cove so that’s where we decided to go. Little Hannah was so playful! We really had an awesome time with you guys. Here are our favorites of the day! Enjoy

October 25, 2009 - 9:15 pm Sheryl - Hey, I'm selling my AB800, large foldable softbox and heavy duty stand. It's in great condition (used less than 10times), it's just I'm more of a natural light photographer and lights weren't my thing (nice to find out after I buy, right?! haha). Let me know if you're interested. I've posted it on other forums but would rather sell it locally and, even better to a couple friends :)

October 21, 2009 - 10:17 am Victoria Guzman - Girl, I know you guys have nothing but the best! :D

October 15, 2009 - 9:03 pm Allan B. - and more to come * thumbs up

Adao Siblings

My friend, Melissa from junior high, YES..junior high, contacted us for some pictures. Keep in mind that I have not seen Melissa in literary 15+ years. We were in seventh grade when we met. She attended Southwest and I was at Montgomery. Although our paths went in opposite directions, I was so glad to hear from her. We headed out to Balboa park with her younger brother and sister. I couldn’t have been happier to see Melissa and have met her siblings. We had a great time with all of you! I will definitely keep in touch with you Mel…Thanks again for contacting us, Im glad you did! Enjoy!
