Thought I would put together a collage of recent work and have a business card or postcard made up. This is what I came up with so far. These are all photographs taken in the last 4 months. Let me know if you need an appointment. Its time for those 2010 photographs.

We had a lovely Christmas brunch, here at the Lee house. I made baked Monte Christo and Monkey Bread with fresh fruit. The Monte Christo recipe came from a scrapbooking friend of mine. The kids really like it, so I think it might become a Christmas tradition.

Our tradition is to open presents on Christmas morning. The kids used their presents last Tuesday when we hit the slopes at the local mountains, so there wasn't much to open up under the tree, but we carried on the tradition anyway. It was a very quiet and peaceful Christmas. I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Wow, its come so fast. Hope your Christmas is a blessed one and that you cherish your tine with friends and loved ones. I am looking forward to relaxing and taking in the gifts, the people God has blessed me with in my life.

Sports

I wouldn't really call myself a sports photographer, but with all the sports my kids play I have had the opportunity to dabble in photographing soccer, softball, swimming, volleyball and now, basketball. I suppose it's good practice. They sure move around a lot though, and I'm not sure if I like the gym lighting. I prefer natural light, but I'm glad for them they get to play in the gym.

My daughter's favorite History teacher and his family have a house that backs up to the Newport Back Bay. We found some really great spots for some family portraits. Love the geometric shape of the drain pipe in contrast to the organic setting.

Henry woke up and looked out the window and said, "Mom, it's snowing!" "No, it's not" I said. "Yes, it is" he insisted, and it was true. We woke up in Idylwild and it was a white Thanksgiving. Were we prepared? No. Not after running the 5K Turkey Trot in Dana Point in 80 degree weather the day before.

Had to share my space with another photographer today at the park. That was a little akward. "Are you going to use this tree?" In any case, we had fun and found some good settings. Diana, I made them black and white, as oppose to gray.

Family photoshoot with two of my favorite families, inculuding Lucky and Abby.

One more pic from yesterday. Just relaxing at the beach. Wish everyday was like that.

Beach photoshoot today with the Jernigan's. What a great family and so easy to photograph. Can't wait to get these proofs to them so they can make Christmas cards.

Pumpkin Races

The 1st annual pumpkin races happened across the street, and it was so much fun, we are talking about having turkey races on Thanksgiving.....frozen or thawed, I'm not sure. Still working out the details on that. Happy Fall, and Halloween.

Beach Photo Shoot

I'm going to be at the beach for a photoshoot tomorrow from 2-5, if anyone needs Christmas Card Pictures, give me a call. Bring your smiles with you.
