The Chavez Family

Every year I get the awesome chance to photograph this wonderful family. We met at HIDDEN location and headed out to find a cool scene for pictures!

And – of course – I zero in on some tree stumps for the kids to sit on or mess around with.

Laila’s First Birthday at Terra Nova Park

Everyone had a fabulous time at Laila’s First Birthday Party at Terra Nova Park in Chula Vista. It was one of those rare Southern California weather events as hurricane Delores unleashed thunder, lighting and over an inch of rain in one day. However, as the afternoon wore on the clouds parted a bit and we finished strong. It’s a good thing Laila’s parents secured the big gazebo!

The birthday girl at various stages of her party! I think she likes cake.

The Chavez Family

Several years ago I had the wonderful pleasure of filming Mariah & Abraham’s wedding. Over the course of time I’ve had the honor to photograph some of their most precious life moments. The other day Mariah and her two adorable children met with me for an hour of candid photography.

First it’s all about warming up to the camera. Mariah’s son has never met me while it’s been two years since I photographed her daughter. Her daughter has decided my name is Greg. 😉

The sun was at that wonderful magic hour angle, but – alas – I had to break a few of my rules about having my subjects look into the sun. We wanted MOUNTAINS AND LAKE so VIOLA!
