Scott Family Photos

The day after Thanksgiving, I went over to the Scott's home to take some family portraits of the whole family. With two of the Scott kids now in college, it was very important to capture the whole family together before the kids are off and gone for good! I've known the Scotts for a few years, and they're a great family, with very talented kids and warm hearts!

We started out with a few photos outside, even though it was a little chilly, and then went inside for more group and individual portraits. I always believe in family portraits that Mom and Dad deserve as much attention as the kids, because most of the time, they haven't had a professional portrait together since they were first married.

The portraits were even featured on the family's custom-designed Christmas cards that were sent out to friends, family, and business associates. They turned out GORGEOUS!

I believe in the white glove treatment, where nothing goes out the door without being gift wrapped for delivery! It's just another level of fantastic customer service that I want to give in a world where great customer service is becoming harder and harder to find!

Enjoy!

Furry Winter Fun!!

Winter is the perfect time to wear furry coats, vests, and hoodies! You can do so many cute things with them!

And want to know a little secret? You can wear summer clothes in winter for your senior indoor shoot, and winter clothes in summer for your senior indoor shoot. Or you can just go wild and wear the clothes that match the outdoor weather. No one will ever know when you actually had your photos done!

What matters most is picking the clothes that flatter you the best and are your favorites, whether they are summer or winter clothes, or a little of both!

Can you guess in which season these wintery photographs were taken?

As always, click on the photos for the larger image, and check out more photos on my website at

I Also Photograph Families!!

I don't just photograph seniors, I also photograph families!!!

Here is a recent holiday photo shoot with the Honrales family!! I usually try to not only photograph the family as a group, but the kids together and individually, and a few shots of Mom and Dad!

I am working on a family/children website that should hopefully be up in the next month or two, due to the increase in the number of family portrait requests I have been getting.
