Studio tour!

So I'm new to You Tubing my own videos - But I think there's incredible potential with it and I'm super super excited to have posted my first video, check it out:

Natalie | 8 months

I just love to watch my mini clients grow! Natalie is already 8 months, and since I'm short on time, here's just a couple of my favorite photos from her shoot. To see her first session photos, click here.

The Bebe Collection is an awesome way to document the first year of your baby's life. We do three shoots within the first year. Capturing images you will truly cherish for a lifetime!!

Have a great weekend!

She was being a sucker and wouldn't go to sleep for us. Her mom called me from the parking lot, she conked out as soon as they hit the elevator!

Mom + Me Collection

I'm pleased to announce my first ever studio spotlight. For April only, I'm offering a Mom & Me collection special. See the details below........
Part of the reason I wanted to open a studio was to have the opportunity to shoot more of what I love, kids & babies are a large part of that, so as a celebration of your relationship with those kiddos, I'm offering this! I hope to be able to offer this type of session once a year. The final product will make for a great gift for dad's, grandparents & other family members. Book your session today, there is limited availability!

Baby Natalie. 2 months

Baby Natalie is just 2 months old. She's very sweet and happy as you can see!

Jayne Wayne + Theo | A.town

I first met Jayne back in 2003, we just had moved from Santa Cruz to the lovely Central Coast and I shot her wedding. Since then Jayne and I have become good friends. Recently she started her web and graphic design business and needed some head shots. She's a big animal lover and I don't just mean she loves animals, she loves BIG animals - horses! That's way her business name is Jayne Wayne Equine Design. Don't ya just love that?! Check out her site when you have a moment. And if you need website she's great to work with and is good with optimization - something anyone with a website needs!

Theo is one of Gunny's good buddies. Over-n-out.

Bijou + Poppy

Bijou has wanted a little dog for a long time. Poppy is just ten weeks old....

Mission Accomplished : New Studio Photos

So, as many would be, we completed the studio the day of the grand opening. Grand it was. We had a terrific turnout, delicious food, delectable truffles and many wonderful moments. Here are a few shots my sweet husband took at our opening (I for once set the camera down...imagine that!)

Here are a few photo of the space finished, I have plans for a couple of changes, but for now, it's complete! All "A" style....

At some point I will shoot a video to post. The outside of our building is completely amazing! Hopefully in the near future....

Until next time - which I promise will be sooner than last time....allyson

kyrie + valentina | babies

You might remember Kyrie from back in November - I posted photos from her first day here on this beautiful earth. She's growing quick and is the sweetest little thing! She's about to embark on a big adventure - as she and her family are moving to the Grenadine Islands - Union Island on Wednesday! We hope to get to visit over the next few years!






Valentina - such a little cutie pie...and such fair skin - just like a real live doll!

Ella 7 months

Today was my first day shooting in the new studio, what a treat! Ella is 7 months old. Her favorite toy is the reindeer you'll see below. She's full of smiles, big blue eyes and drool! Merry Christmas Ella & family!

Tahhh dahh!

So after over 4 months of waiting for the studio to be ready, I finally got the keys. It's weird how patience works....I've never considered myself overly impatient, but I have learned that good things really do come to those who wait. The more I'm there at the different times of day, the cooler stuff I discover about the space and building. For instance, look at the shadows in the late afternoon on one studio wall, and floor, pretty sweet!

Dan & Ryan worked all day Saturday on the floors at the new shop - they turned out great! Here's a few shots of Dan & Ryan, we've all been friends since high school.

Since the big stuff is pretty much done, I just have to move some computers and go shopping for furniture - now that's what I consider fun work! Will post more photos when it's more complete.

So exciting!

I just got back from meeting up with the flooring guy at my new studio. They have done a lot of work since I was there last and it's beautiful! It's really a dream come true for me. Stay tuned and I'll post some photos once we have the floors in. Looks like I'll be moving in on schedule, which honestly I did not think was going to happen. So that means I have January to decorate and do the fun stuff!
