Classy Ladies | Temecula Family Photographer | Alicia Q. Photography

Hey, two blog posts in one day-- awesome!  Almost caught up...

I never get tired of photographing these pretty little girls.  Mom is a best friend of mine and her daughters are pretty comfortable with my following them around with a camera.  I think this was our best session to date!  No resistance!

Aren't they just so classy with the pea coat, blazer and pearls?  Love it!

Here's a peek at their gallery.  Enjoy!

p.s. I still have a few holiday mini-sessions available for this week.  Contact me ASAP to schedule!

Is it really Fall? | Family Portraits | Temecula Family Photographer

Here in Southern California, we don't get too many signs of the season.  Sure, it's fall, but you wouldn't really know it looking at the scenery in most places.  I tried to capture the feeling of crisp weather and changing leaves for this family session, and I must say I got a lot of help when these guys showed up in their pea coats.  Aren't they chic?  I felt a little underdressed in comparison, but as fall in Southern California would have it, the pea coats eventually came off and we could all enjoy the perfect weather in tank tops and flip flops.  Happy Harvest!

Here's a sneak peek for Trina and her gang :)

Class of 2010! | Perris Graduation Photographer

Last week my baby brother graduated from high school!  Words cannot express just how proud I am of him.  I admit, I cried during the ceremony.  But I had to wipe the tears away quickly because I couldn't see as I was snapping away!

Here are some shots from the big day.  Congrats, Javier!  You are amazing and I love you!

White Trash Glam | Menifee, CA Photographer

Seana and I had been planning this photo shoot for quite some time and finally got our schedules in line this past weekend.  I am so glad we got together because this session was a BLAST!  Seana is such a good sport and can we say HOT?!  Even with the theme "White Trash Glam" she managed to still look smokin'.  She has a perfect runway body and AMAZING cheekbones.  America's Next Top Model, perhaps?  :)

The location for this shoot is where Seana boards two of her horses.  We worked them into a few shots and you can really see how much she loves those guys.

Enjoy this sneak peek!  There are so many other good shots I still have to edit...

p.s. If anyone is interested in a shoot like this, please let me know.  I would LOVE LOVE to do this again!

Home Studio | Winchester, CA Family Photographer

What a week it has been!  Baby has had the stomach flu for 7 days now, and somewhere in there I got the bug, too.  Needless to say, it's been miserable on our end.  Today things started looking up.  Baby is eating more and not so sluggish.  His spirits were so dramatically improved that I decided to finally set up an abbreviated version of my home studio in the dining room.  I left the Alien Bee in the garage and used a simple configuration consisting of my speedlight with an umbrella and a 42" reflector.

Here's my baby boy giving his best smile in days!

Enjoy!
