Babinos!

These little peanuts were at the clinic with their moms. The one in blue was just hanging out in the lobby area taking his socks off. The extra tiny one is just a few weeks old and was very confused by my camera. The darling with curls was all smiles until I held the camera up. I love taking photos of people. :)

At 1:30 on 1/30

Mike and Patty were joined together in holy matrimony at the San Diego County Courthouse on a beautiful, bright winter day. Patty's parents witnessed the union in nearly the same location (the courthouse relocated) as their own wedding was held, 50 years earlier.



A young couple joined Patty and Mike at the same time for their ceremony. Patty gave the young bride her bouquet as a gift.

The Feucht Family

Krystina and Josh Feucht are good friends who live here in San Diego. They first found Emma (right) on the side of the road, then adopted Sallie (left) to keep her company. Last summer they adopted Dre (middle) from a neglectful home and they completed their happy family.

Keith and Cindy plus 2 furry creatures

Keith and Cindy met me down in Balboa Park. We had about 20 minutes of pretty sunset lighting. Their little pooches are adorable, but were not really into the idea of staying still for photos. There were too many people and other dogs around! Too many things to sniff and say hello to. The Wyshak family is lovely to photograph, no matter what the circumstances.

Another Visit to North County

Note to self: doing a shoot with little kids the morning after Halloween is not the best idea. These little cuties were good sports, but they were not excited to be photographed at 9 am. I suspect they had a lot of candy the night before and had their photo taken numerous times. The good part is that with the little ones being a bit on the grumpy side, that enabled Mom and Dad to be more interactive, thus creating some more interesting behavior to photograph. All in all, it was a gorgeous day and the people were wonderful.

A few more photos from the Vista Community Clinic. I'll be shooting more people too. This is kind of an ongoing project.

Vista Community Clinic

I'm working on a project with good friend and Vista Community Clinic employee, Spencer Gooch. The clinic is constructing a new building and the idea is to have an installation of photos and stories for a wall in the new building. It would illustrate through photos and written word how the clinic has helped real people heal both physically and emotionally. Here are photos of a few people who's lives have been positively changed by the staff and support from the clinic.
