I have had the pleasure of photographing some of San Diego's most beautiful children this past year and wanted to end the year with a special contest. With the help of a few judges, I have selected the best images from each children's session. Now, I need your help to select the best image of the year.
The winner will receive an 8x10 of the winning image. The voting period ends at midnight, January 3rd, 2008. So hurry up and vote!

Just wanted to share some of my latest favorites from some recent sessions:
This is the second time I've had the opportunity of photographing this little guy! He's still just as cute! I just love how he says "beautiful"!
I truly enjoyed photographing little E and his family! 
And look how much he's grown! Here's the photos from last year! November 2006
And what a beautiful face! Abigail was so patient with us, but didn't want to readily smile for the camera. But, I need to show mom and dad that we did capture more than just straight faces!
Here's some of Abigail's many expressions - even a smile!!!
Enjoy!
Every fall, one of my favorite traditions is to take Noah to the pumpkin patch.... to take pictures, of course! I took last Friday off in honor mine and my husband's birthdays and thought it was a perfect (cloudy/overcast) day for pumpkin patch pictures! The past couple years have been so sunny, dang it! :D
Anyways, here's some favorites from our little session. Noah can be bribed with candy corn!
I had the privelege of photographing this little cutie the other day. He's such a sweetie and I wish I could cuddle him all day long! His mom, dad and big sister sure are blessed! Here's a couple of my favorites to hold mom and dad over for a couple weeks. The rest will be ready soon!
October is my favorite month of the year. The main reason is that my birthday is October 15th! I also share the month with my husband and dad, so it's a month of birthdays! Who doesn't love birthday cake?
The rainy weather made for such beautiful coloring at the beach. Little S was such a sweetheart, and no worries about those waves. They're pretty scary when you're so small! Here's a few of my favorites from the session.
I had the pleasure of meeting little G and her mommy and daddy at the beach early yesterday morning. The weather was great, and despite the high tide and an early soaking (watch out for those waves, G!!!), we still managed to have a lot of fun and get some great pictures.
Little G, you are hilarious! I especially loved it when you argued with me about the color of my eyes. Yes, my eyes are blue! :)
Here are a few of my favorites:

These two beauties were such a pleasure to photograph! I was amazed at how quickly they warmed up to me and my camera. It was a treat for me when they would actually make eye contact over and over again, and even pose the way I asked them to.
I love their gorgeous blonde hair and their beautiful eyes! Both seemed just so sweet and if it weren't so close to nap time, I'm sure we could've went on much longer than we did.
Here are a few of my favorites:
When little N was just 6 days old, I had the priveledge to photograph him, and yesterday I got to photograph him again, along with his big sister, A. I can't believe how fast he has grown already! I love all him and all his chunkiness. And little A is about as sweet as can be! I'm not sure she cared much for my camera, but in the end, when I asked if she liked me, she said yes and even gave me a kiss! Then when I asked if I could take her picture, she smiled so sweetly! So I guess, now, we are friends! Here are a few of my favorites from yesterday's beach session:
Thanks so much for those of you that entered the August Fresh Faces Photo contest! It was such a close race, as I knew it would be with such beautiful children! Like I said before, I'm glad I didn't have to choose the winners!

As summer comes to an end, and we gear up for another school year, I thought it would be fun to share our favorite summer memories.
Tell me what your favorite summer memory from this year is in the comments section by Friday, August 24th. I will randomly draw one winner that will receive a free wallet sized album, complete with 10 of your favorite images from your next portrait session. It's a perfect brag album to keep in your purse or at your desk.
My favorite summer memory this year is just from this past weekend, teaching my son how to swim. He's only 3, but he's determined to learn how. He tried over and over again at the YMCA pool, going back and forth between the wall and me. I hope he gets it before the weather cools down. I'd love to see the smile on his face when he finally swims to me with out sinking under the water!
The contest has begun. And the faces couldn't be any cuter! I'm glad I don't have to pick a winner because I would have to pick them all! A panel of professional photographers are currently voting on their favorite. I will announce a winner by August 24th.
Here are the cuties:
If you missed the chance to enter this month's contest, you can start working on a photo to enter in September's contest. I will be holding a monthly contest until the end of the year.
***Only a few more days to enter the photo contest. ***

A few weeks ago, I had the priveledge of meeting this beautiful family in the park. Little J is one of the smiliest guys I have ever met, and little H is a very determined little girl! Their personalities are great and I think I captured them well. Here's a few of my favorites from this session:
