Family Session: Callum and Family Nov 7, 2010

For Callum's forth session we decided to go to the park so he could show off his wonderful trucks in the photos. I just can't get over how charming he is! :)

I love this next picture because I took a similar image while Julia was pregnant with Callum, and now that he's walking his feet can be in the shot as well! :)

Wedding: Julia and Aaron, Thursday Club San Diego, October 2, 2010

Julia and Aaron's wedding can be summarized by one word: love. Both the respect and devotion that they have for each other was evident on this gorgeous Saturday afternoon, as was the tremendous support from their two families. From the elegant dress carefully crafted by Julia's sister, to the touching speech of Aaron's brother thanking him for bringing her into the family, it was wonderful to be included in such a special day.

Julia's sister April makes some final modifications to the dress.

Nothing says love like cake in the face!

First Look: Julia and Aaron

Welcome Gwinna Gaughran!

I am officially back from maternity leave and am enjoying every second with my wonderful daughter. :) She is growing so quickly and is learning new things every day...I am so looking forward to showing her all of the cool things in the world, like how the light will refract rainbows through the morning dew on all the flowers, and how the sky lights up in a tremendous soft pink through the marine layer at sunset when we get our awesome foggy evenings in Point Loma. And of course, the joys of true black and white photography! :D

Portraits: Sarah and Pat Expecting

Sarah and Pat didn't grow up in California, but as soon as they moved here Ocean Beach immediately became their hometown. We walked mere blocks from their adorable loft-style home to the beach and cliffs to take their expecting pictures. Little Sam was born about a week later and will have tons of fun getting to share all of the local sights with them as he grows older. :)

The rich red curtains Sarah that had set up in the baby's room worked as a perfect backdrop for these portraits we did after the beach trip.
