Mother and Daughter

It always seems that around the holidays everyone who comes to us wants something for a loved one. Not the typical pictures, but something unique.

Janet and her daughter wanted something special for dad, and we worked with them on several images to get just the right look.

Do You Know Harry?

In many ways, Harry is destined for greatness. One by one, Harry has been restoring and rebuilding old computers and donating them to families who cannot afford a computer for their kids.

As of this writing, Harry has built nearly 100 computers. And given them to good homes. Harry has a lot of help, too. Transportation, painting and collection of parts are all done by neighbors and friends.

We took pictures of Harry with these two computers as they are very special to him, and are even painted by a local artist just for the occassion.

The Cardiel Family

There’s something about a large family in the studio that makes for so many more opportunities than just a few people. In our studio, we make a particular focus on children in families, and this family was intent on making that same focus.
At less than three months old, this little one spent a lot of time being fascinated by her parents and me (I make noises during baby portrait sessions). This classic portrait of her lead her parents to get a few large portraits.

The baby’s cousins weren’t really posing, but this was a nice shot from a precious moment between the three girls.

Much of the family is in California, while others are on the east coast. Bringing everyone together for the holidays was a nice plus for this particular sitting.
