I only have a few reqests – baby must be between birth and 3 weeks of age, photograph at my home studio in Santa Clara, Ca and be willing to sign a model release.  As a token of my gratitude, I will provide you with an 8×10 print of your choice from the session. Additional prints can also be purchased at a discounted rate.

Cheers!

After our Disneyland adventure, we drove over to Santa Monica. Once again, gorgeous weather! We strolled over to the Pier and 3rd Street Promenade. The 3rd Promenade is somewhat similar to Santana Row in San Jose but closed off to cars. Here, there were tons of shops and street performers singing and dancing – what an experience.

Now I am back to the daily grind already day dreaming of our next family outing. But until then, I have a Duathlon and a marathon to train for. Yes, I did not mistype. I have a lovely 18 miles to run this coming Saturday. Honestly, having to run 26.2 miles next month at the Nike marathon hasn’t hit me yet; I still cannot fathom running that long of a distance. At least I’m running with a bunch of cool peeps.

I do realize that it is necessary to carve out some time for my family to just relax.

Where are you going?

Who’s eligible? Anyone… Families! Siblings! Babies! Couples! Mothers & Daughters! Fathers & Sons! Anyone except dogs which unfortunately are not allowed in the park. Sorry!

Did you know that leukemia is the number one disease-killer of children under 15 and lymphoma is the leading killer of men and women under 35? Did you know that every five minutes someone in the United States learns that they have leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma? Until I joined The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training, neither did I.

As the largest endurance training program in the U.S., Team In Training provides its participants with coaching and training expertise in exchange for raising money towards finding a cure for leukemia and lymphoma. As part of Team in Training, I will be competing in a half-marathon on October 18th in San Francisco, California. The race consists of running 13.1 miles.

Please fill out the form below to book your child’s individual dance recital portrait.

Due to the high volume of participants, each photo session will be 5 minutes. The appointment requests will be granted on a first come, first serve basis. I will send you an email confirmation of the appointment you request. There is NO initial fee for this service.

Photos will be scheduled during Tuesday, May 26; Wednesday, May 27; Thursday, May 28; and in the early afternoon of Friday, May 29.

Your child’s teacher requests that you schedule your child’s session at a different time than during the scheduled rehearsal.

If you have more than one child in the recital, please select the check box on the form. We will add additional time to your originally scheduled slot.

The cast photos will be taken on rehearsal day. Please make sure your children arrive for rehearsal promptly so that there is plenty of time for the dancers to rehearse with their teachers.

All photos will be taken at the Community Recreation Center in the Mission Preschool Room and will be online in a password-protected gallery where purchases can then be made.

And I couldn’t resist not including this candid moment of one of the youngsters at the party.
