Nikki Z Design

Meet Nikki of Nikki Z Hair Design. 
Nikki and her husband, Mike are good friends of ours. 
Several months ago after having dinner together, Nikki and I were talking about our businesses and different ways to improve our own. 
She had just seen my new website and asked 
what the process was and how could she get her own. 
I gave her the information to contact my friend Brad at Chancellor Design .
Nikki asked if I could come up to her new home in Whinchester to photograph her in-home salon. I have never seen a salon in someones 
home and was super curious to see what it would look like. 
I was amazed....it was SOOOO cute and so professional!
You can check out her new site here and give her a call if you are in her area and looking for a great stylist!













Baby "N"

I photographed little "N" when he was just a few weeks old, and now he's back and getting ready to have his first birthday in just a couple of months!!! It's crazy when it feels like the last time I saw him was just a few weeks ago, and then he shows up and he's HUGE and standing all by himself and everything! I'm honored and so lucky to have clients that keep coming back and allowing me to document their kiddos over and over again :)
Here are just a few of my favs from his session.....enjoy!












Towards the end he was COMPLETELY done with me :)

Michelle Ryker-Headshots

We met Michelle and her husband at a wedding that we worked with them a few months ago. We sat down to dinner together and started talking. 
Turns out they live RIGHT down the street from us AND 
she used to teach at my daughter's school....small world :)
Michelle is putting together a new website, and needed some new headshots for it. I'll give
her new website info once it's all up and running!
Here are a few of my favs....enjoy :)





She has such a gorgeous smile!!!

The Mirabella Family-Part 2






This bench has the cutest story behind it. 
Donna and Carmen wanted to do some pics at Balboa Park and a few at the beach as well. 
I mentioned going over to La Jolla to finish up the session. 
When we got there Donna told me the story of how Carmen proposed to her. 
Before they moved to California they were here on vacation. They were having a romantic stroll here at the park in La Jolla. Donna noticed a puppy that had been tied up to this bench and left there. Carmen told her to go look at the tag and see if there was a number to call. Donna ran over and read the tag....it read....will you marry me? 
She turned back to Carmen and there he was...ring in hand!!!
Is that not the cutest proposal ever!! So I had to get a family shot of them on the bench :)












HOTT!!!!!!
