One more of Isabella

I couldn't resist. Here is one more of Isabella.

What a NUT

Before we left work I got to play with my 70-200 lens on Isabella. She loves to sing and the parking lot was the perfect stage for her. She really is a nut.

Marjorie

Some of you might remember Laura from last year. Her mom was down visiting so we managed to fit in a couple hours yesterday morning before she headed home to get some great shots to give as a gift to her husband. It was a nice overcast day which made for some great lighting. Thanks for coming out Marjorie, it was nice meeting you.

Isabel & Nicolas

Last Monday evening I got to follow a couple of cute kids around a park for a couple hours. Well, Isabel kept us running, Nicolas just chilled in his mom and aunts arms. Isabel was so much fun, wanting to find new places to pose at. She had a BIG smile on the whole time. Thanks for bringing the kids out Erin, it was so much fun.

This is the first time I've tried out textures. Just something a little different.

New Photos

I did a shoot of a friends two kids this evening and I have another shoot on Sunday morning. Stay tuned for photos.

It's a BOY!!!

Today we made our way to Baby's First Photos in Riverside, CA for an ultrasound. This ultrasound was to tell us the gender, a month earlier than we thought we were going to know. Stephanie's parents, sister, and niece got to go along. It's a really neat service and the employees are super nice. They do a 3D ultrasound and project it up on a 100" screen for everyone in the room to see. You can have up to 10 people in the room with you to share the excitement. It's really cool so if you ever get the chance to experience it for your baby or to watch someone elses ultrasound like this, do it, it's just too cool.

So we found out we are having a boy. Now we can start deciding on a name and the nursery. We went to Babies R Us after to buy some baby clothes. I got a bib for him that says Chicks Dig Me:)

Anywho, here are some photos that we got from the ultrasound today.

Here you can see his face with his hands and arms up by his head.

This shot is of his back. He got tired of being poked at so he turned over. You can see the back of his head, his back/side, his leg, and his arm.

WooHoo

OK, we are finally letting everyone know. Our baby is due on September 5. We finally got to hear the heartbeat today so we are a little more safe in letting everyone know. If my scanner was not acting up, I'd scan our first and second ultrasound. In about 7 weeks we will hopefully be able to find out what it is. Keep little baby Larsen in your thoughts and prayers as he or she develops. At this point, we don't care what it is, as long as it's healthy.




On a funny note, check out what David Higginbotham of David Higginbotham Photography and his wife Anna have to say about having a kid. Luckily we won't have to deal with the questions anymore.

The Golden Gate at sunrise

I'm finally getting around to posting my photos of the Golden Gate from my trip up north last month. I was pretty tired and I had to do a lot of walking to get what I did. I'm not a landscape photographer but it was fun messing around. The sky was completely clear till the sun came up then the clouds slowly moved in over the city. It was pretty cool to watch. If you ever get a chance to watch the sunrise in San Francisco, go up the hill on the northern side of the bridge. It really is a great view.

And this is Sausalito. Nice little town. I wouldn't mind spending a long weekend there sometime.
