The Perfect Midnight Snack!

Next time you have a little hankerin' for something around midnight....



Take the advice of Winston and Clementine (my baby owls).....



Fresh rat just hits the spot!



Mmmm.....  good to the last drop!



Betsy, if you were eating breakfast as you read this....sorry.

And if you'd like to see another owl snack time, but this time in LIVE action video, click HERE

Congrats to the Class of 2012! High School Senior Cap and Gown Portraits

All through the year I'm asked to capture high school senior's portraits.

We meet anywhere in San Diego they want - from the beaches to the parks, to the mountains and downtown .


But every June, I invite them to come back for a visit at my FREE graduation cap and gown portrait session.




We meet in my home studio for some quick, fun and formal portraits of each of my seniors.




Here are a few of my favorites from the Class of 2012...



Of course they are invited to bring along their family if they want too - no extra charge -just fun times!



And I love hearing about their exciting plans for next year -




 and it gives me one last time to wish them well!

“I hope your dreams take you... to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.”

Joey: Class of 2012 San Diego and Poway Senior Portrait Photographer

Meet Joey, class of 2012.



Funny and good natured too!






We captured some portraits in a few different outfits and also some with his mom and dad.







Best of luck as you head to college!

Aubrie & Kyle are married! "Reception Fun on the dance floor"" San Diego, Mormon LDS Temple Wedding Photographer

Ahhh....such a romantic first dance...







And the fun continued into the night!







*Love this next one captured by my second photographer:






And a beautiful, sparkler exit!





Our wedding was many years ago.  The celebration continues to this day.  ~Gene Perret

Aubrie & Kyle are married! "The Reception" San Diego, Mormon LDS Temple Wedding Photographer

After the bride and groom arrived, they held a brief Rings Ceremony for the benefit of family members who couldn't attend the ceremony inside the Temple.





Then they greeted each and every guest!





Love WAS sweet when it was time to cut the cake...






To keep the fire burning brightly there's one easy rule:  Keep the two logs together, near enough to keep each other warm and far enough apart - about a finger's breadth - for breathing room.  Good fire, good marriage, same rule.  ~Marnie Reed Crowell

Aubrie and Kyle are married! "The Reception Details" San Diego LDS Mormon Temple Wedding Photographer

The reception was filled with a million and one sweet little details, so of course we set about capturing each and every one...

From the wishes tree



To the guest book table...







The groom's last name is "Moore" - don't you just love this:





And their dessert table was filled with beautiful and yummy looking treats.

Aubrie & Kyle are married! "The Bridal Party" San Diego, Mormon LDS Temple Wedding Photographer

The bridal party was not only cute - they were amazingly FUN!





So we had a fun time too...at the Temple and later at the reception.









Think not because you are now wed
That all your courtship's at an end.
