Sneak Peek: Poulson, Poulson & Co.

What a pleasure to meet these wonderful, happy, hilarious people! Their little family is darling, with kids ranging from three girly girls to a scrumptiously rolly mini man. These folks were game for anything, even asking for some of the more energetic photo ops like vaulting into the air (both parents doing so with little ones in tow)! So, so fun. I can't wait for them to see these. I know I say this every time, but there really are so many more good ones! I curse blog etiquette for demanding that bloggers do not share 200 pictures in one post. Here you go, Lyric. I *FINALLY* finished your sneak peek. :D Enjoy!

For Amber

Amber has been my #1 fan for as long as I've known her. She comments on all my photography session posts and praises me up the wazoo. Everyone needs a fan like Amber! She makes me feel like I'm the best photographer in the world (which I'm not - not even close!). So I gifted Amber a photo session to show my appreciation for her wonderful encouragement. I tracked her down in Utah while I was there and made her drag her sweet family out to the mental hospital for some photo fun. I got so many awesome pictures. I cannot even tell you. So this is sneak peek #1 for my #1 fan. There will be more. I just can't help but share with the world the awesomeness that is the P family. :D THANK YOU, AMBER!

William

What a big name for such a little guy. Mom is gunning for Liam as a nickname, but so far it just doesn't jive with Dad. So, for now he's sticking with William (and sometimes Will, I am told). Here he is in all his chubby infant glory. What a darling, darling boy.



Big sister (who apparently normally loves to smother baby with love but wouldn't go near him when I showed up, camera at the ready, begging her to - go figure.) :)



Big brother





Baby toesies. Don't they just beat all?!

His grandma made him this amazing baby blanket. So cute!



Gorgeous mama

There were MANY, MANY more that could easily qualify as favorites (I have a hard time weeding out pictures), but I did my best to spare my blog visitors.  You're welcome.  :D

Crystal | San Diego Senior Portrait Beach Photographer

Crystal is one of THE BEST babysitters around and we are going to be so sad to lose her to college come fall. Gorgeous and talented, whimsical and fun, Crystal lights up a room with positive energy as soon as she walks in. She's friendly and happy and absolutely one of those enviable people who draws others to her just by being comfortable in her own skin.

Crystal is beautiful inside and out. It was a pleasure and honor to be entrusted with the responsibility to capture that beauty with my camera.

{Photographer favorite right here. Absolutely STUNNING! I love it!}

Be still my heart

He loves me. He really loves me. I hug him and kiss him and squeeze him to death. He slobbers, drools, and climbs all over me, and squeezes my neck when I try to put him down. He fills me up. We have a symbiotic relationship, he and I.

Happily Occupied

I have been happily occupied taking and editing photos of my best friend's brand new, beautiful baby girl. She is a mini (and feminine) version of her older brother, bleats like a little lamb, and has now joined the ranks of my favorite people by birthright. :D

Isn't she darling?!

Christmas at the Park | Poway Children and Family Photographer

I have a special place in my heart for this particular mama. We got to serve in Church together and ever since I was released and ushered on to the next great Church service assignment (and I mean that sincerely since I am now the ward photographer!), I have missed interacting and chatting with Laura. I admire her ability to plan and prepare like no one you've ever known before! She is amazing. And a wonderful mother. And every time I see her baby, I think of my baby, since hers was born just a week before mine! They are doing all the same things at the same time. It's so fun.

P.S. The head shots are for their stockings. How cute is that?!
