Cousins

Alright — had a BLAST with this crew! They are cousins. I took photos of two of the sisters before, beauties! You might remember them from here.
I took so many photos in a very short time and I’m just digging in. I had finished a preview when my internet went down. A big shout out to my neighbor who helped us get back up and running before Comcast could even come this afternoon! Thank you, R!

I am excited about these photos because they are so lively! It’s special how these cousins clearly have a fun time when they get together. Having only one cousin I really thought about how blessed they all are to have one another! We were jumping, playing peek-a-boo by the bench, and lounging on the tree trunk. Many thanks to one of the Mommies who found this gem of a park! She said it had a backyard feel and it sure did. The only bad thing is we were seriously dodging some speckle light. I’ll definitely post more photos from this batch as I move along so check back!









50th Birthday BBQ

I had the HONOR of photographing a super fun 50th BBQ! We’re talking one of the best around! Good company, awesome food, belly achin’ laughing, great speeches, love, you name it! I had never been to Blackberry Farms before in Cupertino. The farm recently reopened.  A perfect place for a family gathering, bbq, or swimming! I’ll definitely be heading back over there. Since this was an event I took countless amounts of photos so this is just a preview. I am so pleased I captured the special day in the photos and I’m hoping the family likes them as much as I do! I used red as my signature for the 49ers. 😉















Baby A.

Only two weeks old and she’s already a model in the making! This little angel was cooperating for me like a pro! I could have photographed her the entire day long. In fact, I think the parents finally kicked me out. No, just kidding, but it was one of those kind of shoots! Her big brother who I have photographed before is so proud to be a big brother now! Please check back because there is no way I’m not going to be able to post more of these as I work through them all! Look how peaceful and content Baby A. is….









PROUD BIG BROTHER!

Back It Up!

On June 12 I posted this status on my FB page, ” Hi everyone! Don’t forget to back up your digital images! CD/DVDs will only last a number of years. Use external drives and online storage services. Q: Heather, what do you do with your own digial images? A: I back up everything on 1) CD/DVDs; 2) my computer; 3) two external drives; and 4) an online storage service. You want to make sure your digital images survive time and technology advances!”

This past April my hard drive crashed! This weekend my mother board crashed and the entire computer went ka-pootz!!! Luckily, I had EVERYTHING backed up! So again, I can’t stress this enough!

I got behind a couple of days after everything was said and done and researched and chosen and bought and assembled! Loading up everything onto my new baby as we speak so I’ll be back to business in no time! Thanks for your patience!

Here is a photograph from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology College graduation. (Palo Alto, CA) I haven’t even had the time to put up a preview from this event yet!
