I had such a fun time playing with this family and was honored to be able to photograph them!

I love when an entire family is able to get together to have their photos done!

This will just be one of the many holiday sessions you can expect to see showing up.  The day before we met up to do these photos it was POURING rain!  I think I kept checking my weather app on my phone almost every hour just to make sure it wasn’t going to rain when we met up.  We lucked out and it turned into a beautiful day!!

Sometimes people come along in this world that make you remember that there really are true, genuine friends still out there.  Miranda is one of those people.  I met her through the playgroup I’m involved with and you can’t help but like her.  She has a sweet little girl and as I type this, she is in the hospital welcoming her new son!!  I truly can’t wait to meet this new little guy.  I know he will be a perfect addition to their family and a wonderful new playmate for his sister.

For Mother’s Day this year I really wanted some updated photos of myself with my kiddos.  I took my kids and husband out to Point Loma for a little hike and my husband got to play photographer!  I love my husband dearly, but when it comes to cameras and photography, well let’s just say its a good thing I’m the photographer in the family.  However, I think he actually did a really great job on these!!!  So, thanks Hun for a wonderful Mother’s Day.

Today’s shoot was a reminder of how much I love doing what I do.  I think we could have gone on all night long if it weren’t for the sunlight disappearing on us.   Thanks for a wonderful evening W family.  I had a blast!

I’ve decided it’s time for another giveaway!  For this giveaway, I want you to nominate a family that you think is deserving of a free photo session with Saflower Photography.  Do you know a family that is going through some hardships, or maybe a family where a loved one is about to be deployed?  Maybe there is a family out there that has helped you or the community in some way and you would like to give back to them.  You may not nominate yourself! In a couple months I will do another giveaway where you can enter yourselves.

To nominate a family, all you have to do is send an email to shae@saflowerphotography.com with “giveaway” in the subject line, telling me about the family and why you want to nominate them.  They need to live in the San Diego or King City/Lockwood area, or be willing to travel there.  I will have a few impartial judges select the three that they think are most deserving.  I will then share the stories with you and put it up for a vote.  Please have your nomination in by January 21, 2011.

I spent the morning in Old Town with a wonderful family.  Little Man is just a little younger than my twins and a ton of fun!  Thanks for the awesomeness this morning guys!

I had the privilege of photographing the beautiful Lupo family this morning.  These kids were such a delight to work with!  Enjoy this little look into our great morning.

This weekend I was totally on cute overload with all the wonderful families I had the privilege of photographing.  I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had!  I hope you enjoy this little peek at your photos.
