Here is one of my favorite little guys,  I am so sad that W turned one… I am going to miss photographing him as often as I did during his first year.

Claire has one of the sweetest faces ever and is just filled with wonderfully inquisitive moments… I love it!  I really think that it maybe impossible to take a bad photo of her.

Ashley wanted to make sure she started her summer off right by getting her high school senior portraits out of the way.  She will be graduating from La Sierra Academy next year and knew that she wanted something a little more special than the “traditional senior portraits”.  Hair and makeup and six outfit changes later I think she has a ton of senior photos to choose from.

The biggest questions that I have from familes when scheduling their portrait sitting is “what do we wear”?

I will then go into a long speech about how I do not want them to show up as carbon copies… all wearing the same thing but rather come as individuals.  I will suggest that the choose 3 to 4 colors and then wear different combinations of those colors.

Well, I was searching the net the other say and I came a cross this brilliant idea of having a visual collage of “What To Wear”…. how neat is that.  For the first look that I put together I went with some fun summer colors (yellow, aqua, brown and white). It’s a casual look that say we belong together without saying we’re twins.  The clothing below can be found at Old Navy and GAP .

Look number two is because sometimes you just want something a bit more formal… you know for those Holiday portraits.  Here I used the combination of yellow, black, grey and white to make a slightly more formal look. These looks can be found at J. Crew, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime and Zandino.

And for those who want a slightly funkier/ hip look check this one out.  I used red, blue, black and grey for the colors and I just love the way it looks together.  You can find this collection at Banana Republic and Zandino.
