Tonight I decided I should put a few pictures of the studio on the blog so potential clients could get a feel for the environment of the studio. The studio’s decor is warm and comfortable, and is located in the heart of downtown Los Gatos, within walking distance of many things.
Many “dates” between my clients have commenced with their portrait ordering appointment (the appointment after the session to see the images of their beautiful babies and children), followed by a tasty meal at one of the many great restaurants on Santa Cruz avenue.
I’m looking forward to meeting some newbies in the coming months!
Happy Mother’s Day to my AWESOME Mom (Joetta) and my SUPER mother in law Bonnie. I feel so fortunate to be loved and supported by you all year round. Thank you for putting up with me, I love you both (even though I am not sure either of you regularly read this)…. Here’s a few reasons why:
My mom. I love that you:
-Can’t pronounce Mitsubishi
-Love my dog as if she were your own
-Keep up with our two kids when you come for visits. I know they tire you out but you enjoy every minute you have with them.
-Travel out to see us 3 or 4 times a year, EVERY year
-Enjoy our special days together. Antiquing, shopping, eating, wine tasting, and the Garlic Festival just to name a few.
-Are my mom.
Bonnie. I love that you:
-Manage, and often ask for, all of the grandchildren, at one time, in your home, sometimes all day
(For those of you who don’t know there are 9, 75% under the age of 11!)
-Are so proud of your boys and their families
-And Dale are still in love after 30 + years and set a great example as couple and team for our families
Also…I wanted to send a special message this week to the extraordinary moms I meet throughout the year. Moms I enjoy getting to know better with each passing session. This AWESOME video describes how I’m sure many of us feel but couldn’t convey as eloquently. The video is of a mom reading an excerpt from a book she’s written. Having two boys I can relate well! The important takeaway is about the significance of ordinary days.
I hope this video helps remind you that the little things are really the big things and that those ordinary days you’re experiencing today will mean everything to you in the years to come. Now sit back, relax and have a few tissues handy! It’s only 7 and a half minutes, do it now!!
I’ve photographed Jacob once a year for the past few years, and he has more personality with every passing year. This year we scheduled the portrait session outside at Vasona Park in Los Gatos so Jacob could explore and ‘fish’. Meet Jacob! He loves many boy things….cars, fishing, trucks, and dirt…
