This family rocks....the Julanders

I got to know this family from my daughters school. The oldest son is in her class! They have secret crushes on each other. Their Mom and I have become great friends....

We met up at Balboa Park on a somewhat rainy day. We truly lucked out because it wasn't raining on us until I snapped the very last photo.

I love the backdrop to this photo.....


Dad with all his wonderful blessings...


The Queen of the house and her princesses....


And this has got to be my FAVORITE photo...couldn't pass this one up..


Thanks "H" and "D" for letting me capture your families photos!!

Check out the Rositas family

I got to do a FUN family generation photo session. This session was for 2 purposes.....the first was for the generation photo with grandma and the second was for her youngest son is going away for the military! We had such a FUN time walking around Balboa park and to top it off everyone brought there dogs with them! It sure was an adventure!

Lets start by having FUN...


And my favorite Mom/Daughter shot of the day...


Mom with all her kids and their kids...


Enjoy....almost Santa time!! Were you a good girl/boy this year?

Look at these blonde handsome dudes...

Ok, I know I always say this but I hardly get to photograph boys so when I do..I am so excited and stoked. Because with boys you can be real goofy and do a lot more because they like to get dirty...

I met these boys this year in Kylee's school so their Mom and I have become good friends and I enjoy all their company. This session was AWESOME in my opinion but if you ask Mom or Dad they might have a different one for you!!

The 3 men in Mom's life...how handsome are they??


I LOVE this photo...look at "C" facial expression....he was soo excited when I said "JUMP in the water"


This one is Mom's favorite family pose....


No words can describe this one.....


Enjoy!

Special family to me....Introducing...

The Santana crew! My oldest goes to school with the middle little man. We met in kinder and now our youngest like to play together. I was excited when Mom asked me to capture the generation photos between herself, her mom and grandma! And grandma rocks in this family!

Jumping is what I like to do with all my families....


And all 4 generation girls were in this photo with the men in their lives...


Finally, most imporant is the little princess in the family and she gets loads, loads, and loads of attention..she is precious...


Thank you "T" for letting me capture these photos...and I will see you tomorrow for our Christmas photos.

Baby boy love...

Just to show how far behind I am with posting pictures. This little guy will be 3 months in 6 weeks. I am going to promise myself for 2011 is to post the BLOG within 2 weeks of session..deal??

Ok this little dude joined a family of all GIRLS!! He rocked it and he was 9 days old in these photos and look how big he was....welcome to the crew "S"

I must have this effect on kids because they love sticking their tongues out at me...


He begged me to stop taking photos so he decided to stick his thumb in this month and look down....


And you won't beleive this but the only way to get him to stay still for the foot photo was when his BIG sister held him on her lap....


Enjoy

Happy TURKEY day!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my wonderful families. I am very Thankful for each and every one of you for letting me capture your families memories!

I am working on this awesome family today and I had to share this one because I have never had a DAD stick his tongue out at me....

"D" that really isn't nice and you are the one that wanted a sneak peek...shame on you :)


Have a great day and try not to eat tooo much!

Christine

Look how much this cutie has grown..

Ok, so lets start out with how far behind I truly am blogging. This session was in late August I believe. Please forgive me. I need to get on the ball...

Look at this 1 year old beauty.....


Daddy was deployed during this session so we thought it would be nice to give him a mommy/daughter picture and this one is my favorite...


I love her facial expression here because she doesn't really care for grass on her toes...


Thanks Liz for letting me capture the moment of her 1st birthday! It was a great morning..

Halloween Pumpkin Patch session

I got to see many FUN and CUTE costumes this past weekend. I got to see Buzz Lightyear, Pumpkin, Pirate, Incredibles and a cute little Mermaid. We had such a blast at the patch and playing around in the pumpkins and the fields. I had 2 little ones that got sick last minute so I missed seeing their costumes...

So lets get this rolling with cuteness!

First off, we had a little cute blue eye incredible...


I asked for a silly face and this is what I got in return.


In the fields we go...


Then came the Pirate and his Mermaid...

She wasn't to sure of the pumpkins so closed her eyes.


This Pirate was out to get me...I was playing with him and he kept trying to attack me with his sword..


And finally, Buzz Lightyear landed on the Pumpkin patch just in time for me to photograph...


I couldn't pass by this little cute pumpkin..isn't he the cutest ever?


I always thought sisterly love was awesome but look at this brotherly love..I love these 2 little dudes..


Thank you to all the Moms that came out and let me spend the morning and afternoon with you and your darling kids in costumes.

All the grandkids for Grandma!

It has been so long since I have blogged. I am many families behind and now I am doing the Pumpkin Patch session as well for Halloween!

Let's meet the Victoria family....All the cousins were here on vacation so they wanted to take a photo for Grandma!

I got to meet all the precious little kids in the family! It was a great day!



And all the lovely sisters in the family! They do have a brother as well but he didn't want to share in the moment! We missed him.


One of the beautiful families. Hope you like it "C" and "B"


Thank you for choosing me to capture this moment for Grandma!
Hope to see you all real soon,
Christine

3rd time is a charm for a baby BOY!

I have been taking photos of this wonderful family since I first started. So I have gotten to watch these little girls grow up since the S" was 9 months old and she is turning 2 years old really soon...
YUP you got it...Mommy is pregnant with a BABY BOY finally! I am way behind on posting and editing blogs because little guy is already here and we have done his infant photo session already. Be on the lookout :0

Look how round and beautiful Mom looks...


This is probaly my favorite photo hands down!


Little "S" wanted to listen for her brother...


And of course, I had to be silly with Daddy...look how the kids fit under Mom's belly..


Thank you "J" and "S" for choosing me to capture all these memories for your family!

Wonderful time with the Smith family

"A" called me last year around Christmas time to take photos of her little man at the beach with a Santa hat and no shirt..do you remember that blog...super cutie blondie!
This time around, I got to meet dad because he was home from deployment! So we headed over to Presidio park...

"A" is so much fun and he talks up a storm....I love this little dude...


This session was all about having FUN....

After this shot, dad says "I can only imagine how that will come out" See look you all look really cute!

No wonder "A" is darling..look at his parents...so before I took this shot I told dad to whisper something cute in Mom ear...and this is what happend...


Thank you "A" for letting me capture these memories..so about 3 days after this session she calls me to tell me that she is PREGNANT!!! I am excited for our Spring pregnancy session!

See you all soon,
Christine

The WHOLE Vasquez family...

Wow. It has been sometime since I posted a blog of photos or of my newest sessions. I need to get rolling again. So much has happend and I have so many photos to share.

As many of you know our nephew DJ was off to Navy Bootcamp and his Dad asked that we all have our pictures taken together. So we all got together and off we went to Balboa Park. I did most of the photos but my photog friend did the complete family ones with myself. But I am going to post the "Vasquez" family minus myself and my sister in law.

First off....the 3 angels (LOL)


My mother in law & father in law with all their pride and joys....


This is probaly one of my favorite photos of the day because it shows everyone's personality...


With that being said...look at this one and you can use your imagination....


This being all the siblings together and acting silly is how most of our time is being spent. It was a great day and many memories were captured.
And DJ graduated bootcamp on Sept 2 and now moving onto the medical field. Good JOB!

Sneak peek for the "Q" family

I got the pleasure to meet little "N" at the San Diego Zoo for a lovely photo session. While she was way more into the animals than my camera. I tried to get her into looking for the princesses that live inside my lens but that just didn't cut it but we had a blast together.

Look at these beautiful BROWN eyes...can they get any pretttier...


No wonder Daddy cannot resist this little face. I love the look on her face....really she wasn't that sad...


While walking around to the gorillas....we had some fun.....


Mom wanted some really nice green photos. I hope I succeeded for her and made her smile when I presented the CD to her. Enjoy "E" and I cannot wait to see you again for fall photos and to meet your sisters!

Got to try something new....SOCCER

My brother called us and wanted my girls to go and watch their cousin "A" play some soccer. So off we went to the soccer field with my "BIG" camera as my kids say. My girls could really care less about watching little kids run up and down a field so they played instead.

I decided let me try and do some action shots of my nephew and his team. Now granted, I normally only do family and kids photography but I think theses came out pretty good!

Lets go "A"


I got it kids, don't you worry about it....watch....


Then of course when Aunt Christine is there we have a ouchie....

By the way, that is the coach from the other team!

Last but not least...my dear nephew hanging out waiting for the ball to return...don't you just love his facial expressions!


Good Luck this year bud!!
