My son used to be David's play leader when he was in kindergarten and now here he is getting ready for his Bar Mitzvah. I don't know how time flies so fast. I'm looking forward to being a part of this special day for the Phillips and seeing David read from the Torah but for now here are some portraits we did last week of him and his siblings. (Don't bother trying to adjust your screen... those really are the color of his eyes!)
Check out the slideshow for more of our session:

I thought I'd do another quick post of some headshots I did in the last month or so. Whether for an acting gig, business website, real estate promo or maybe even a social networking site, I always meet some great people in my community when I do these.
Okay, sorry everyone else but Justin Grafman is my favorite. What a doll! We shot the day after my birthday and he brought me a gift! With his own money! What a giving spirit this kid has! Justin needed to update his headshot. You might recognize him from the movie "All About Steve", "Scrubs" or some other shows...

...and John Berton...

Well, that probably got your attention! I'm crazy busy with weddings right now but I wanted to do a quick post on this family portrait I did last week.
We headed out to a fallen tree this family had seen on a hike. (I love when my clients take me on adventures.) I've ridden these trails many times and it's so beautiful here but this time of year it abounds with rattlesnakes. And apparently there was something in the news about how there are more rattlers out this year then in previous years. Yea, great, so, I'm convinced that if it wasn't for their huge dog Dino we would have been bit. I have never heard so many rattles going off at the same time. I tried to play it cool but I'm sure the fact that I kept looking at the sound coming from only two feet away from me gave away my paranoia!
In the end, we got some great shots and made it out safely. (I thought for sure you'd all see, "Photographer and family attacked by swarm of rattler's - news at 11!" on your T.V.'s that night.) I included the cutest pic of Dino as well for you animal lovers.

Before I head out for my weekend of weddings, I wanted to leave you with a dose of cuteness to get you through till Monday. Here is two month old Miss B - enjoy!
Aren't these cheeks to die for?
It's hard work being a model...

You might recognize candidate Benning from our shoot a short while back. He's running for congress this June. His family is so great and I was thrilled when they called back for a family portrait session.
Three gorgeous, smart, daughters...
Thought this was so cute...
