This is the time of the year when my blog turns from pro work to personal...each summer, I take off with my family for about six weeks to reconnect, laugh and play while we have some amazing experiences and create memories that we will treasure forever (I usually edit the summer book down to about 750 photographs). This summer, we will be returning to our most favorite place, San Francisco, which we know very well. We will also be visiting Alaska and are planning adventures such as dog sledding and helicopter touring. We are beyond excited! I hope you will join us here on the blog and I will try my best to update as much as possible. By the way 90% of the images will be with my point and shoot camera~ The above image is one of our favorite places here, the Art Van Go Studio, which offers fabulous art classes and camps for budding young artists. My boys make the most incredible creations under Sue's (pictured above) guidance.

Limited Edition CityPlace Mini Sessions will take place on the following dates for 2009: August 28 • September 21 • October 12 • November 6 Here's the scoop: Mini sessions are $295, for 1-3 children only and last about fifteen minutes. Each session will include one 8x12 portrait and an online gallery with approximately 10 images with online ordering for one week. All speciality studio items will be available for purchase a la carte, including prints, art canvases, display pieces, note cards, and photo jewelry. Because of limited availability, sessions will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. These sessions book up very quickly...if you are considering a mini session for 2009, please book now to avoid disappointment. The studio will close for summer vacation this year on July 3 and will reopen on September 1. Email us to reserve your space. We look forward to seeing you!

This was my final session before a much needed six week summer vacation. The studio will be open for two more weeks to complete client orders and schedule fall sessions, then we will close till the end of August. It is way too hot here for sessions anymore!! Rain hit the studio twice today, so I was super lucky to even see Amelie and Jasper. They are very close in age, which I love for portraits. Amelie's mom brought a whole wardrobe of amazing clothes for both kids, which I also love...and balloons, which made everyone happy. How sweet are these two? By the way, fall is booking briskly as it does every year...if you need a session September through December, please email us within the next two weeks and we will guarantee you a spot on the calendar!

This is my last week of shooting before we close for summer...I was happy to get to see these three before they move to Philly in a few days. Alex, Avery, and Sammi are great kids, very comfortable in front of my camera, which made my job so easy (in 90+ degree heat, that is a huge bonus!). Wishing them a fantastic adventure this summer...

I met up with Jordan and Kai early this morning to try out this beautiful new spot I discovered...in the most unexpected place! They did a great job for me despite intense heat (yes, at 8:30 am) and lots of bugs. Gotta love Florida.
