One of my favorite people is my younger sister Natrice. To say that we are almost the exact opposite of each other is an understatement - but I still love her just the same. For starters, she is tall and I am short, she is thin and…well I’m not, I am married and she is not.

Can you believe that she is still single? Well she is. Although this is not a dating service, it is my blog and I can do whatever I want - so here it goes. If you are interested drop me a line. I have a strong suspicion that she will want to kill me when she reads this, but I figure that you never know where or when love will find you. Who knows maybe she will thank me later- ha. Just to play it safe I think I will ignore her calls for the next few days.

While on vacation we made a stop in San Francisco for a few days.  After asking a few locals were the best place was to have breakfast in town, it was official - we were going to Mama’s.

After a lazy morning, we headed out to Mama’s - what the locals forgot to tell us was that all of San Francisco loves Mama’s also.  We arrived at 10:30 A.M. to a line that was a block long, but those in line told us it would be worth the wait - so we waited and waited.  About 1 p.m. we were finally seated for a breakfast of a life time - YUM!  If you every visit the San Francisco area, you’ve got to check out this little hot spot - and don’t forget to try their alalaberry jam ( or at least that is what they told me it was - I stilled can’t find a berry by that name).

Here are a few picks of my kids being crazing while waiting for breakfast:

I felt so badly,  since I had been out of town so long, I had to rush and schedule a photo shoot for Kissui’s September Customer of the Month.  I had a wonderful getting to know Jeane and her two kids - and just to show that there really is six degrees of separation, we found out that we know several of the same people (who knew?).

Anyways, here is a few images that I pulled and edited quickly for you.  No, I did not choose any of the traditional look here at the camera photo, I wanted folks to see that there is much more to a good photo than having every eyes on the camera.

Last year Jet had the most amazing teacher and I could not have been any happier with her.  Mrs Calixto, we really love you over here - thanks for all your hard work.

Not only is Mrs Calixto a great teacher, she is a fantastic mom and I was able to see that first hand when I photographed her two beautiful little girls. 

There was a little bit of sass, a heap of fun, a pinch of laughter and a whole lot of love - all the makings of the perfect photo shoot.  I really love it when kids let loose and have fun and I believe that these two were on cloud nine that day.  Thanks so much for putting up with me and all my crazy ideas. See you around school.

It’s always a good thing when you are able to catch up with old friends.  Kim and I graduated with the class of 1990 from SPA (yeah almost 2 decades ago) and had not seen each other in over 15 years.  Kim found my blog a few months back and was very excited to have me photograph her two little princesses. 

This was a good example that great photos can happen anywhere.  We actually pulled off the side of the road when I spotted an orchard of pears that I felt had the right amount of charm. 

I hope that the girls had as much fun as I did and that next time we will have to shoot the family.
