Filled with Light

Posted in Baby Sessions, Portraiture

 

Here are some images from a maternity shoot we did at Mission Trails Regional Park. Rick and I hike and run here often, and the place has special significance for us, as we came here a lot when I was pregnant and also many times with our son, Dylan. We have memories of walking here during sunrise because he wasn’t sleeping well and well, we had to get out of the house in order to keep ourselves from falling asleep! He has explored the trails there from in the carrier on our belly, to off-roading in the stroller, and now, he runs with us! Our favorite time here is just before sunset as the sun recedes back over Cowles Mountain… the light is golden and with the surrounding mountains and light breeze blowing over the grasses, it’s simply serene.  We thought it was the perfect spot for Leslie and Jordan’s shoot.  Leslie looked so at home in the peaceful setting and she glowed with inner serenity, as I find that pregnant women often do. I absolutely loved Leslie’s choice of sweater! It was blowing in the wind and just so perfect for the setting.  This was just the most peaceful shoot, and the baby seemed to like it too, as he kicked alot during the session! We can’t wait to see him after he makes his grand entrance into the world.

Aydin and Ilyas | 6 months

Posted in Baby Sessions, Family Sessions, Portraiture

The beautiful twins we photographed as newborns are now 6 months!  It is so unbelievably cool to keep popping into people’s lives to see how their family grows and changes. These boys are so adorable, and we are so lucky to get to have double the fun photographing them!  Can’t wait to see them at one.
The hand on the face makes this photo.
Love this.
A sweet nurturing moment where Dad is feeding one boy and mama is changing the other.

Little Amelia | Miss Smiles

Posted in Baby Sessions, Portraiture

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many smiles! What a happy baby!  We photographed her as a newborn, and now we get to see how she has grown and developed into such a happy, happy little girl.  Props to her mama!
Too skinny for skinny jeans!
I think she’s a little skeptical about the hat and about Rick. hehe

Natalie + Rob | Coronado

Posted in Engagement Sessions, Portraiture

A really fun shoot in Coronado… Again, just because you are near the ocean doesn’t mean that all of the images need to be beachy shots. It’s really fun to mix things up visually, and that keeps me and Rick ticking (artistically). It’s so nice to wander around and see what catches our eyes (like some really amazing light, an unexpected scene or genuine laughs that appear on the couple mid-conversation). We even did a little bit of trespassing on this shoot;-)Luckily, Natalie and Rob were willing participants!

For the shot above, we were shooting down on the sand and I looked up and saw a couple hanging out on the cliff, just enjoying the sunset.  Their silhouette against the beautiful sky caught my eye, and we asked Natalie and Rob to head up there. Natalie and Rob were so fun to work with.  They have a great sense of humor and made us laugh a lot. We really look forward to their wedding this Spring, which I’m sure will be filled with lots more genuine laughter.

Crissina Fimbres - My favorite picture of Natalie and Rob is the second to last one, where Rob is kissing Natalie on the forehead and she seems to be absolutely giddy with happiness. It truely captures their love and devotion. There are moments that you never want to forget so I’m glad the photographer captured this this so they can revisit this photo throughout their lives!:)January 28, 2012 – 4:51 am

Lucie’s Bat Mitzvah | Fort Collins and San Diego

Posted in Event Photography, Random Stuff, Travels

There is something just so beautiful about ritual. Tradition, gesture, language, symbolism, contemplation and reflection, song, and the whole community aspect.  I am just fascinated by ritual, and we both feel so honored to be invited into these sacred spaces to document them.  Rick and I had never been to a Bat Mitzvah, and being able to document it with fresh eyes was really nice because we were able to experience it and document, simultaneously. The rituals in the Bat Mitzvah ceremony were all very old and beautiful, and we were so impressed with Lucie’s poise and grace as she read or sang in Hebrew.  It was really cool to see the pride in Lucie’s parents’ faces during it all, too!  I really wish we had been able to experience some sort of spiritual/cultural ritual to celebrate our own transitions out of childhood.  It’s such a paramount transition in your life.  It really should be marked with a ritual.  Nonetheless, we were honored to be able to be thereto document this ceremony, and the party in Fort Collins was so fun! Again, what I would have given to have had a party like that as a teenager!  Being at the party brought back so much nostalgia for those middle school years… so much fun and excitement! Congratulations to Lucie!
