As I recently mentioned I have been a bit MIA due to the arrival of my second daughter.  I have to say that I was not sure how it would be to have two and you know I still don’t know half of it but so far things have been different than I think I had expected.  I was not sure how I was going to love another one as much as my first daughter but really it is like many have told us.  You just do, you love them each differently.  I have to say that I had thought the no sleep and changing diapers would be the big adjustment.  Don’t get me wrong it is a tough adjustment and I thought we generated a lot of diapers before but now…  I must say though that what has been hard is watching my oldest try to adjust to having a baby sister.  I know at some point she will be a great big sis but for now she is trying to figure out how things all work and where she fits in. 

Well, I have always said my favorite model is my oldest daughter but now with the arrival of the second I guess I have another subject to work with.  Here are a few of her birth and a couple once she got home.  So watch out, there is a new model in town.  =)

Who is this person?  It’s cold out here!

Aaaaahhhh…nice warm bath.

Just a quick shout out to all the Dads out there to wish them a Happy Father’s Day.  I have been a little MIA since I just had another little girl about 2 weeks ago.  So I have been a bit busy.  Well to all you Dads I hope you have a great day!  Here is a shot of all my girls.

Dana aka DMAC turned 16 back in December of 2008 at which point her Mom had thought about having some portraits taken of her.Well as I said in an earlier post, their schedule is just crazy.Dana competes at level 10 in gymnastics which to my understanding are the folks gearing up to hopefully one day go to the Olympics.If that were not enough her brother is an awesome tennis player, so as one can see they have some crazy schedules.Originally the thought was to go running around to get shots for this session but due to the difficulty in scheduling things we ended up with a bit of time limitation, so we just stuck around near their home but I think that we had some pretty good stuff to shoot around.

Well I hope that this year truly is a sweet one for Dana.It was great working with her and I hope I get a chance to shoot with her some more in the future.Hummm…they should need a photographer with them when she makes the Olympics right?=)Here is a slideshow of images from our session.

Being a San Francisco Bay Area resident I know how unpredictable the weather can be here sometimes. When Emma & Howard mentioned that they wanted to go out by the Legion of Honor and Lands End for their E-session it crossed my mind that we could have some cold and foggy conditions.However, it was quite the opposite and we had a beautiful day to hike around the trails in the area.As I mentioned in an earlier post, this is where Howard proposed to Emma.Howard orchestrated a nice little surprise for Emma and popped the big question in a beautiful location.I must say it was a bit of a trek to make it out to their “Spot” but it was totally worth it.

Thanks to Emma & Howard for being troopers.I appreciate the stories they shared and am looking forward to being part of their big day later this year.To see their slideshow click the top image.
