jan maternity session

i met jan through one the brides we did this year, leti, and jan wanted to get some pictures of her and zack before their new daughter is born in january. we met early one morning in balboa park, where we spent some time peacefully walking around the park, which was blissfully free of tourists. here are some of my faves from the shoot...jan was so happily pregnant and up for walking around the entire park.




into my favorite little corner...



and down to the bamboo, this is my favorite of jan...

the cool big trees...they look so tiny in comparison...


congratulations jan and zack, i am looking forward to meeting your new baby daughter!

alison and dave: engaged!

we got a great opportunity to meet alison and dave on a saturday afternoon, 2 days before dave was deploying for 6 months. they had driven down from lemoore for the weekend, to spend time with the family and deploy out of san diego.

dave and alison are getting married in january, in beautiful julian, ca. and we wanted to give alison some nice memories of dave while he was away. here are some of our favorite shots of the day...


dave, we wish you a safe return from your deployment and say thank you for serving our country. we can't wait for you to get home!
