We just completed our fourth annual Clickin’ Moms’ Scavenger Hunt, and, as always, we had a fantastic time doing it! This is CM’s 5th year of hosting it, and I am a little bummed that I didn’t participate the first year as it’d be so cool to know we’d been there since the beginning, but […]

    They are great, and I really liked seeing the ones you took after we left. I’m glad I had a chance to participate and even take a picture of you in your winter jacket on the beach!ReplyCancel

    This is such a fun post! Thanks for sharing it with us. All of my photos are so horrible, I don’t think I can share them. Yours look great! 🙂 Good luck on winning!ReplyCancel

    I love your enthusiasm and have loved seeing your pictures every year. You really rocked that star silhouette.ReplyCancel

This month, I decided to dedicate my Lensbaby post to shots from a special evening our little family spent at Filoli, called Step Back in Time. It was such fun! We got to be at the park as the sun was setting, and it was simply beautiful! Tom and I had intended to get costumes, […]

A couple of weeks ago Emily and I were in Disneyland yet again! This time was one of the reasons we ended up getting annual passes this year: It was one of the several planned trips we were taking that made it a smart move. My sister and I have been talking about going together […]

    These are SO amazing Jessica!!! What a wonderful trip…I think I need you & Em for tour guides next time I go to Disney. The images are wonderful & I feel like I really got a glimpse into the fun you must have had!ReplyCancel

    […] Trip with my sister and niece […]ReplyCancel

Our assignment this month was to “think outside the box”: to find a location we wouldn’t ordinarily think of to shoot in, and figure out how to make it pretty. I was excited about it, because location scouting around here has long been on my to-do list! But alas, it will have to remain on […]

    Lovely, as always! Great use of a small space! I agree- the blue in her eyes- you have a great knack for pulling out color in your subjects.ReplyCancel

    Her portraits are always so beautiful. You really pulled the blues from her eyes, love that. Great use of a very small space.ReplyCancel

  • Allison Jacobs - July 11, 2013 - 7:12 am

    Emily looks beautiful!!! I love how you used the rocks to make a gorgeous backdrop….I would never guess you were just in the backyard here. Fantastic!ReplyCancel

  • Suzanne Carey - July 11, 2013 - 10:46 am

    First, I love your water fountain. Second, Emily looks amazing as usual. I love seeing the pull back to see exactly where she was sitting. Her eyes looking amazing with the color of the rocks. Bravo!ReplyCancel

  • Kim - July 12, 2013 - 12:13 pm

    What gorgeous images from one small corner of your yard. I love the way the waterfall looks behind Emily. You have inspired me to try it with our fountain!ReplyCancel

This month was fun, because Emily and I found this beautiful black lace at a fabric shop a while back, and I have been wanting to figure out what to do with it. We were also practicing with her hair for her middle school graduation ceremony, and to match her vintage-looking dress she wanted a […]

    Ooohh so pretty! Love what you did here with the lace and adding dimension to the image. These are gorgeous as always.ReplyCancel

    That is so cool Jessica. What a creative way to add depth.ReplyCancel

  • Laura Veno - June 21, 2013 - 7:47 am

    These are beautiful, Jessica! I love the use of the lace. I’ve used white lace before, and hadn’t thought about black- what a great idea!ReplyCancel

  • Suzanne Carey - June 21, 2013 - 8:18 am

    You are always so creative with using different elements in your pictures. I would never have thought about shooting through black lace. Perfection! And as always, your daughter is gorgeous!ReplyCancel

  • krista - June 21, 2013 - 4:38 pm

    I showed this to my kids and they said that next time they want me to shoot them through a big thick towel….you are so lucky to have such a cute, patient and willing model! Your idea of shooting through the lace is really cool and you always surprise me with your creativity. Hope your daughter had a wonderful graduation!ReplyCancel

  • Allison Jacobs - June 22, 2013 - 10:23 am

    These are beautiful Jessica!!! Love that you thought to shoot through the lace & the results are fantastic!ReplyCancel

  • Kim - June 23, 2013 - 4:08 pm

    These are beautiful, I love the texture the lace adds to the photos!ReplyCancel

I’ve  decided that for this blog circle, I am going to try to get out my Lensbaby for at least a few shots most times I get out my camera. It means that my images for these posts will often be somewhat visually disjointed, but it will be lots more practice, which is my ultimate […]

Remember this little guy, from my first real newborn shoot? Well, he’s a toddler now—and a darned adorable one at that! And his “big” brother is a preschooler! Time flies… I got to play with them on Friday evening at the park. Little Mr. D had such a crush on Emily, too—so cute! His very […]

Not from high school, of course, but from middle school! She graduated with high honors, and we are so proud of her! On her last day, I greeted her with graduation streamers on the front door—she was so excited! I adore the dress, shoes, shoes, and hairstyle she chose for the big event: She was […]

    Congratulations Em!

    I has been a pleasure to teach you two years ago, but more importantly, I am lucky to have a friend like you, Jessica, and Tom. Although I will miss seeing you on campus everyday, I do wish you the best of luck in your pursuit toward your next accomplishment, High School graduation. I am sure you will approach your studies with aggressiveness. Yes, there will be anxiety but you will continue to grow as a student and how you handle the pressure. I am confident that you will do well and that that you will handle the anxiety with grace and dignity. Thank you for being a great student. Sixth grade was fun. Softball was very positive experience and I do hope you wear your sweatshirt with pride. Thank you for letting me teach you a volleyball. Thank you for “pushing” the button for the morning announcements. Thank you for going to the Stanford Football game with me and your parents. The game was good but going on the field after a excellent finish was GREAT!!! Thank you for relying on my when you needed someone to help you. I was glad to do it.

    Thank you.

    Merci.

    Thank you for allowing me to become apart of your life. May your family and mine continue to grow as friends.

    Have an Amazing yet Restful Summer and Good Luck in High School. Thank you for the positive memories.ReplyCancel
