what to wear….

This question is always a topic for discussion when preparing a photography session.  But it is the aspect of the session that should never be overlooked.  Not only do you want everyone in the photo looking good, but you also want to consider on how the photos will be displayed or used.  Inspired by the recent blog article posted in the National Association of Professional Childrens Photographers {which I am a member of}, I decided that I really need to sit down and think about how I can help clients get ideas for their sessions.  I came up with these arrangements using one of my favorite kids clothing stores, Gymboree.  Half of my childrens’ closets are filled with their clothes.  Love ‘em.  Not to mention that I also have the Gymboree VISA to receive added benefits!  Stay tuned for more clothing ideas!!!
PS.  Sorry I’ve been gone for so long.  But I’m back!

and the winner is…

bounce for autism

Jack Jack, who was diagnosed with PDD-NOS last year has made tremendous improvements with his speech and language development with the help of all our doctors, therapists and teachers at Kaiser {Dr. Amy Gruber and Dr. Jean Sakimura} and Dr. Sara Powers Rice, the RCEB {Wen}, at Happy Talkers {Erin}, with STE Consultants {Elaina} and …with the early intervention program at the Alameda Co office of education {Denise & Adrienne} . As a preschooler at the Harvest Park Preschool {many thanks to Emily, Jennifer, Linda, Barbara and Ashley}, his talents are really shining through and we are so thankful for the program!!!

Through the Pleasanton Mothers Club, we participated in a “bouncing” event at the Pleasanton Pump it Up.  Jack Jack, along with many of his friends had a BLAST!!!  You can Bounce too, by becoming a virtual Bouncer for Autism. Join the Autism Society and Pump IT Up to raise money to improve the lives of all living with autism.
Participating in the Bounce for Autism is easy! and Fun!!!
