They were out in Malibu, visiting from Las Vegas. (It’s funny, I shoot in Vegas several times a year, but this year it seems like a BUNCH of my Vegas peeps are coming to Cali! Yay!)

It was a beautiful day for a beach session at Paradise Cove - we had such a great time - lots of laughs…I hope you all love these photos as much as I do…..

….but Mommy still has her little man - I LOVE LOVE LOVE their expressions in this series!

I know, I know - you want to see that cute little grin a little closer….

A LOT of Beanie Babies live at this house! When Riley was a munchkin, he frolicked in the basket with the babies, seemed only fair for Ava to have the same fun (or is it torture?? she doesn’t seem to mind!)

Until next time….I hope everyone out in Blogland has a safe and happy 4th!

That gorgeous photo on the cover is by Ken Sklute. It was so absolutely stunning in person - I can’t believe I beat him out (just barely!) for Best in Show. Steve & Peggy Roosa, the editors of ProPhotoWest just won a big national award honoring it as the best state magazine - too cool! You can read about their award on their BLOG!

So, no excuses, I had to go meet his adorable new baby (and stunningly beautiful wife - who would NOT let me photograph her!) Here are just a few….Geoffrey - it was so great to touch base with you again - can’t wait to see you next month!! Hope you like these…

She is pretty darned cute, isn’t she???

So, I thought I’d add a segment to my blog on FAQs - if you have something you want to know, just shoot me an email or ask your question in the *comments* section.

One of the more common questions is “how do you get the EYES so sparkly or bright?” I wanted to really SHOW that it is the LIGHT that is the MOST IMPORTANT element in making a great *sparkly-eyed* photograph! There are a lot of peeps out there who are really going photoshop-crazy **working** the eyes - I just wanted to add a gentle reminder that if you LOOK at where the light is falling when you TAKE the photo, life will be better….(at least your photos will be better!)

Here is an example of my little friend Lily. WE took these top two photos just one second apart. I saw that the light wasn’t hitting her right eye the way I wanted it to, and asked her to just turn her face slightly towards the window. Tada! Perfect light in both eyes! (NOTE : this is MUCH easier with a cooperative 7 year old then a cranky toddler - I know, i know!)

….and if I am showcasing *toothless grins* today…then this shot of Jake is for my Mom!

Well- a little creative genuis at my home came up with a great one for me this Easter…invented by my little monster Jake! (in all fairness - i told them they couldn’t dive into their CANDY until they had their photos taken!!) Soooooo…my helpful child thought he’d speed up the process (and get to dive into the chocolate!) by hollering “Come on over here and get ***tortured by photography***:! It became a huge rallying cry - soon ALL the kids were yelling it..

I can’t wait to get new business cards printed up - I think it will be a huge hit - don’t you???
