These girls are growing up too fast! Photography by San Diego Family Photographer Jeni Bernatz

June 29, 2008 – 2:31 pm

This weekend I got to shoot one of my favorite families! This mom gave me a great compliment when she told me “I am addicted to your pictures” , awww thanks! They are a great family and I have had the pleasure of doing many sessions with them over the last few years.

This weekend we had a session with Miss K who just turned 6 and her youngest Miss D who just turned 1. About a year ago I also got to do Miss D’s newborn shoot, I cant wait to do a side by side of the progression! We also got to add a few of their other sister too, even though she just had her pictures done (its hard to resist the petticoats!)

Here is your sneak peak, there are some great shots from this session, I cannot wait to get to them all!!

Say “sassy 6 year old!”

Happy birthday big girl!!

what about Hans Solo? These girls kept me cracking up with their silly giggles when ever their parents asked these questions, they seem to {love} the Star Wars boys!!

Last night was such a fun night, playing with the N family at Balboa Park. We started early and had a great time with a couple clothing changes, and lots of laughs. This was a great session with the parents too- also willing to try anything and everything, even being super silly to get some great “real” smiles! We got some great shots of them playing, being silly and just natural wonder.

N family here is your sneak peaks for sissa, boobala, and all the other fun names!

and “D” family your sneak peak is coming soon!!

DSD Alpine Dance Academy Recital

June 16, 2008 – 7:24 pm

So this weekend was the annual recital for DSD Alpine Dance Academy. The theme this year was Dancers at Work and it was an amazing show. I was able to photograph both the dress rehearsal on Friday night and both shows on Saturday. These dancers were amazing and did such an awesome job!!

They had kids in the Tiny Tot classes that start at 3 years old and the classes went all the way up to the adult classes which even have some Grandmas in them! The dances covered all types such as ballet, tap, hip hop, lyrical and production numbers. What a great performance!

It was very dark but we still got some great shots!

Here is a sneak peak, dancers your galleries will be ready in the next 2 weeks!

Kiwanis Magazine

June 16, 2008 – 4:06 am

Remeber a while back when I went on the shoot at Rady Childrens Hospital for the Kiwanis magazine? It was an article about Sue Cox, an amazing trauma nurse at Childrens hospital in San Diego. Well, in the mail this weekend I got the copies of the magazine with the picture from the shoot in it :)

There are 2 links to the online magazine, one with the article on Sue, and another that talks about the “behind the scenes” of the picture, its actually an amazing story!!

Here are the stories if you are interested!
