Smith Family Portraits at the Temecula Duck Pond

August 13th, 2010

Heather & Michael Smith brought a BEAUTIFUL baby girl into the world 6 months ago. Baby Charlotte is just starting to sit up on her own, and as you will see she’s quite expressive! :) I find it fascinating that we seem to be born with our facial expressions… I’m sure that years from today, little Charlotte will be making the same adorable faces!

Sorry boys… she’s taken!

May 11th, 2010

My good friends, Emilia & Bill, are getting hitched in July of this year and Emilia had a special gift in mind! The shoot was SO much fun and uh… can you believe how gorgeous she is?! Emilia decided to present the gift in the form of a boudoir photo book, but prints could also be an option. Please inquire about pricing on boudoir books if you are interested!

Yoga Portrait Session at Balboa Park with Tria Andrews

March 8th, 2010

I <3 yoga. I hope to capture both the stillness and the energy of a beautiful practice. The gorgeous-lovely yogini captured in these photos is Tria Andrews. She is a wonderful yoga instructor currently teaching at Prana Yoga Center in La Jolla and several other studios in the San Diego area. I hope to do more more yoga photo shoots before wedding season kicks in to full throttle! Namaste :)

Diesel Salon Fashion Shoot

January 18th, 2010

Hot HAIR!!! Diesel Salon in Kensington recruited me to shoot their fabulous artwork! I’ll continue to update this same post featuring a new gorgeous model and a new AMAZING hairstyle.

Happy holidays from flutter glass PHOTOGRAPHY & Diesel! If you are wondering by now why all the beauty shots have negative space on the right, it’s because Diesel is using these photos for their monthly ads in the very fashionable 944 Magazine!

Chandra & Andy’s Engagement Shoot – All Over SD!

January 10th, 2010

I think we pretty much covered it all in Chandra & Andy’s engagement photo shoot! We started off at the Corvette Diner in Point Loma where Chandra wore a an adorable Betsey Johnson polka dot dress and accessories… very rockabilly! Then we went for a vintage feel and just shot around the streets of University Heights. I <3 Antique Row! We  finished up the day at Balboa Park. I will never get tired of shooting there because every time I do I discover something new. I also added in a couple studio shots of their awesome tattoos! Can’t wait to shoot their wedding in June :)

Judit & Ryan – Cactus Garden

December 17th, 2009

I’ve decided that my favorite clients are the ones that are willing to climb inside a hallowed out tree that could possibly have living creatures in it :). Husband & wife, Ryan & Judit chose this awesome cactus garden for their portrait shoot. They were both super troopers and even survived the attacks of some of the cactus fruits!
