I’ve decided to do a weekly picture postcard series to get me energized and mindful about sharing some of the wonderful things I have in my life. I hope it encourages you to slow down and appreciate the simple things too. A little bit of “I am thankful…” all year ’round (thanks to Maliea’s wonderful [...]

I spent the morning with my favorite silly April Fool. Maliea and I dropped off Merrik at school then trekked over to El Camino Automotive to have RJ take care of our bald tires before we had to go out of town. We had good intentions to walk all the way to FedEx to ship [...]

Awhile ago we visited the Casa Romantica here in town. We wanted to do something different but didn’t want to join the swarms of So Calians in the local mountains and we didn’t want to drive far (ever since we went sailing and didn’t have a car for 2 years, we haven’t been big fans [...]

It was a gorgeous sunny day slightly warmer than it had been lately and I was excited to meet up with the Hohenester family down at Calafia for their annual family session. You can see more of their sessions with me here, here and here. We finally met up in the infamous caves just south [...]

The more time I get to spend with big families, the more I realize how much I love to photograph them!! I had so much fun photographing this family for a holiday mini session that I can only imagine how much fun we would have together on a premium session. Every family is unique and [...]

I have been busy with family sessions for the holidays. October is proving to be a busy month and as much as I hope that we finally get our gorgeous fall weather here in SoCal, I love this image of a family I photographed recently at the beach on one of our chilliest evenings. The [...]

The Berlanga family and I found a surprisingly quiet spot at the beach on a gorgeous summer day in San Clemente. One day before the sun decided to hide again, we discovered a little slice of beach-to-ourselves heaven and played to our hearts’ content with their cheerful and curious 18 month old boy.

It is not what I see outside that makes my images, it is what I feel on the inside that comes out. – Carolyn M D’Alessandro These images are the perfect expression of process. They were developed the way I remember the day, the way I felt that day, and not the way my camera [...]

Many times after our beach and surf sessions this summer Merrik, Maliea and I stopped in at Velvet Yogurt. It’s been awhile since we’ve even been downtown so I thought it would be fun to make a trip after our busy day at preschool, lunch with Aunt Cindy and Cousin Jessica at the Wind and [...]

Last week I sent out a spontaneous email inviting some friends and family to join us at the San Clemente State Beach for a beach fire and BBQ. We showed up at 3:00pm and fortunately my good friend, Chris had already arrived and snagged the last table available next to a fire pit. By the [...]
just me and merrik
On Thursday, I dropped off Maliea at my parent’s place so Merrik and I could have some time together for a change and so Maliea could get uninterrupted nap time. It was wonderful. Merrik and I headed to the “beach park” to ride his bike. He really wanted me to ride mine too but we [...]
gap: panorama of my town
Here’s a panorama I took from our backyard the other day because the sky was so gorgeous. I stitched it together in Photoshop using the photomerge automate command. Pretty cool!
thought: a new lab in san clemente
Just think, my hick, out of touch town has an opportunity to get on the right path. Ole Hanson would be excited about the LAB development proposed for North Beach because it matches his vision for this town but is probably still crying tears about the blundering project at Marblehead that will destroy this town.
