There are not very many pictures of me! For one, I really don’t like having my photo taken…I know kind of ironic for a photographer to HATE being photographed, right?!?! But I swear something happens to me when I get on the other side of the camera and I turn into Quasimodo! I don’t feel comfortable and it really produces anxiety for me. This is one of the reasons I think I am good at what I do. I know how hard it can be to sit there feeling insecure while someone points a black box at all of your flaws. So when I am shooting, I try to be mindful of that and help my clients forget that we are taking photos! But because I avoid this with every ounce of my being…there are NO photos of me with my Family. We joke that you know I was on the vacation because there ARE photos…but I am in very few of them. So I finally decided it was time to push myself out of my comfort zone and get on the other side of the camera.
I have always loved the way film looks…I originally learned to shoot photos with my nifty Canon AE-1 and was excited to ask Andrew and Tianna Photography to meet my Family at our favorite place, OUR beach, and shoot us doing what we do best…be GOOFY!! And I LOVE the result!
*One last thing…please don’t wait to capture your Family memories…It is pretty sad that my Daughter is 16 and my Son 11 before I actually had someone shoot our Family professionally! It is my own insecurities that made this a reality…I think someday they will cherish these photos as well as the memories we made making them. Don’t wait! Our time here is not guaranteed, but photography will capture a moment before it is gone! XOXO! 
If you fall off…
I WILL laugh at you!!
Running with my Baby!
I wasn’t wet enough for them!
Thank you so much Tianna and Andrew!! You have given me priceless images to remember this fun time in our lives!! And a special thanks to Elizabeth Alfier from Behind the Veil Studios for making Morgan and I feel so beautiful…and that make-up didn’t run even in the Bay, people!! That is AMAZING!! XOXO!!
