I met this sweet family through our mutual friend. This is the third time I have photographed them, the first time was last Fall and second time for Evan's first birthday party.

San Diego Family Photographer – Children’s Siblings Session in La Jolla

February 4, 2016

I've known these girls since they were born and they have grown up with my kids. I have shared a friendship with their Mom for 13 years now. Photographing close friends is so much fun because it's just like hanging out together and we can all be ourselves. This is how it should be with every session, but with these girls there was no "warm up" period. They just kn[...]

I felt so honored when this amazing couple asked me to help them document the happiness and love they share in their lives together after a very challenging time in their lives.

This family was so much fun to photograph! When they showed up with their baby dressed in a bow tie, suspenders, and a beret I was in heaven! We had so much fun singing nursery rhymes to get him to smile, and it worked. My job was made too easy for this session. It's easy to see why this Mom and Dad are smitten with their baby boy. Thank you, Murray Family for co[...]

My goodness, this was such a tough task narrowing down my top 10 favorite photos from 2015!

There were so many photos I loved from 2015, so please don't be offended if your photo wasn't chosen for this blog post.[...]

San Diego Family Photographer I McGrattan Family Session at Sail Bay – Pacific Beach

December 16, 2015

This family recently moved from Toronto to San Diego so that Brian could play hockey for the San Diego Gulls.

And, then when she told me they wanted a sunset session with their two dogs and baby boy, I couldn't have been more thrilled.[...]

San Diego Family & Child Photographer: Spring Wildflower Mini-Sessions

I'm so excited to offer my annual Springtime mini-sessions again! I've been scouting some beautiful locations that I hope to use for these mini's and watching the wildflower growth.
