What a wonderful, fun family they are! Nothing but smiles and happy, cute, cooperative kids. Not to mention their color scheme worked out perfectly! I love my job : )

The lupines were the whole reason we went to Lake Forest for some portraits of Addison, but the field of yellow flowers worked out real well, too! Nothing like a little girl amidst wildflowers!

The Morgans came back to Tahoe, escaping the Texas heat for a short time. I love seeing my families again and how the kids have grown!

I went location scouting with my son, on the lookout for a playa, and found fabulous old doors

From San Francisco we drove to Santa Cruz to stay with my friends Betsy and Raf, and little Becca. We went straight to the beach with kids and cameras; only for a bit, as we thought we’d come back Saturday or Sunday, but the weather turned and that didn’t happen. I will just have to go back soon!  : )

Just had to share this one… from the beach the other evening.

The sky wasn’t quite as blue as we’d hoped, but it didn’t rain like the day before! We went to Speedboat Beach, which was quite interesting as right on the other side of the fence someone was shooting generators! Yup, generators, product shots – they hauled them all the way down there, which we found quite amusing.

With the beach otherwise almost empty and the kids behaving surprisingly well, the shoot went very smoothly…
