Ellie & Tenley for Christmas!

Holiday sessions are so intimate when done in the home. Children are often more cooperative and parents a bit more relaxed. Having a killer tree to shoot in front of and a marvelous ceiling for flash bouncing and well, I love it! Here is a selection from our in-home shoot with this pair of charmers. Aren't they simply adorable?

The Howard Family Holiday Portraits

We have know this bunch for over eight years now. It is a pleasure each year to do their holiday session and see how their family has grown! Enjoy some of our favorites in this post!

Emma calls this the "Turtle Picture" after an ornament they have on their tree.

Richard & Helen Holiday Portraits

My parents came to visit over Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful holiday and made the time for a photo shoot! I've attached some of our favorites from Balboa Park. We took a slow stroll from the organ pavilion through the botanical building. These two shaped me into the man I am today and after 31 years together they are still totally in love. Thanks to you for showing us how it's done!

See....still got it!

My favorite!

Grandchildren & Grandparents have such wonderful relationships.

Definitely!!

Family Portrait Swap In Julian

We went up to Julian with our good friends from M(Squared) Photography and did a family photo swap. We had a great time. It was kind of a photo free for all. We all passed our cameras around and in some cases it was hard to tell who took what! Obviously the photos with just us Bergmanns were captured by Marj or Matt though. Anywho, the leaves were still on the trees and as colorful as could be. We were so happy to have that little taste of fall. Though I think I could have done without the cold and wind.
