Lynn Dao, a photographer friend of mine, invited me along on a photo session with a couple of friends. We went to Lynn’s favorite little hideout but I can’t tell you where.
Just know that after all of the flowers have died…beauty still remains.
What do you think of this one? I’m not sure if I like it…hmmm

I know, I’ve been gone for a while…did you miss me??? I thought I’d come back with a punch!!!
I’m really into recycling and “going green” and this series of photographs speaks with that theme. I didn’t plan it that way, the environment just lent itself to the idea and I really like the way they turned out.
I have never shot maternity photos before. Jessica and Eric are my past clients so I was excited to try it out!! We decided to head out to Otay Lakes. Jessica was so kind and supportive of being the guinea pig and I’m amazed and honored that she believed in me enough to experiment!
She already has a little boy named Tristan (what an awesome name!). He joined us for the shoot and did some posing of his own. Eric and Jessica are SUCH great parents already so this baby’s in good hands.
Eric and Jessica are having another little boy. I know Jessica’s not a fan of her belly button but I think this picture wouldn’t have worked without it, its so cute!
I think that being fit is one of the ways to live life to its fullest. Jessica seems to embody this. I can’t believe she did a handstand and nailed it for the picture! Who does that? Seriously, who can do that? I can hardly balance upright and this girl has a 5lb bowling ball attached to her belly and she still makes it happen! AMAZING
Otay Lakes was a gorgeous setting for these pictures. I just love the great outdoors!!!
Thanks for hiring me and being SO adventurous Jessica!
Love these!! The headstand pic is seriously incredible - she has to be a yoga-girl or something to have that kind of balance! Fun stuff.
Looks like we’re all up and blogging. 
Love the first shot. Otay Lakes… that’s in my neck of the woods now!
It was great seeing you again. Wishing you all the best before your wedding!
Love them all. I think you captured exactly what you set out to. I’m in awe of Jessica, how athletic. The pic of Tristan is definitely a keeper. Great job Lisa.
Amazing shots Lisa!!! Never would’ve thought it was your first maternity session. And I love how you did it outdoors…very different!
BEAUTIFUL images Lisa! The location is so perfect. I especially love the last 3. And a preggo girl doing a handstand, that’s amazing! Great job!
THe first one is great, but my favorite is the older sibling. Capture the love.

We interrupt this regularly scheduled programming to bring you…
CHOCOLATE
Oh chocolate….oh how I love thee!
Wow, that thing looks great blown up. You know you want some!
So, if you didn’t know, I’m engaged to be married, July of this year. Its SO exciting…I can hardly wait! My fiance and I met with the caterers, Authentic Flavors today, who also happen to be a client of mine, and we did some cake tasting. They also needed some images made of these cupcakes. I got to take the cupcakes with me to photograph…and then…and then…I got to eat them! Thats right folks. I ate them! Not just one, but 4!!! I ate FOUR in a matter of 2 hours. People…these things are addictive!!!
I just couldn’t help myself. The ones with almond have raspberry in the middle!
Anyway, thought you might enjoy something a little different
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming!
You ate FOUR!!! I guess the only question left is what happened to the other two. The pics look even tastier than the real things did when you carried them in…
yum-o!! My tummy is growling just looking at them! For your wedding - are you going cupcakes or traditional cake?
OMG….I MUST have some!!!! I love cake!!!
Ann,
We are doing a tiny cake and LOTS of little desserts. Everything at Authentic Flavors is AMAZING so it was really hard to decide
lisa lisa lisa. have we told you lately we hate you 
it’s midnight and we want cupcakes!! * cookie monster voice*
Hurray for your wedding! Hurray for cupcakes! Hurray for eating 4 in 2 hours. I don’t wanna brag or nuthin’, but I think I could pull that off if I REALLY tried. : )
BTW, you made these look amazing. Happy wedding planning!

In honor of Earthday, I thought I would introduce all of you to one of my little buddies. I really wanted to start a card series with the pictures I took of these little otters. Be on the lookout for new images of these cuties whenever a holiday rolls around. I have quite a few up my sleeve.
I try to do what I can to help the environment by driving an economical car, recycling the majority of my garbage, turning off lights when I’m not using them, etc. I even sent my “save the date” and wedding invitations via EMAIL!!!! It was so easy!!! I have a wedding website and all the guests had to do was click on a link and RSVP!!!….couldn’t have been easier.
Anyway, please do your part and enjoy Earthday 2008!
haha! i’m such a dork i didn’t scroll down enough and thought you took that pic. i was all “whoaaaa coooool shot of an otter.” dork i know
PERRRRRFECT pic for Earthday. So cute
I always had a feeling that God was an otter…
very cute Earth Day pic. Your little buddy is priceless.
ok now that i know you DID take that picture. it’s still awesome! at the next meet up you have to tell me about training killer whales!!!
love the fence shot!
Lisa- the last one should be up on a wall somewhere! I love it!!!
can i just say that i just LOVE your entire blog? your wedding shots, your cupcake shots, your referral program? holy cow, lady, I love your work! how does your referral program work, by the way? do you do a drawing of names and pick someone to take shopping? how does it work! i’d LOVE to incorporate something like that into my business! anyway! thanks for having such nice work! you’re an inspriation!
Lees! LOVE the one in the sepia-ish tone. Very cool! And I do love the last one with the flower. Great eye:)
The first one looks as though the tree is framing them in a heart shape, very nice. The sepia to me looks like they were sneeking a kiss and you caught them, I thinik it’s vey sweet. I like them all but I think the last one is special. Great job, Lisa
I love that shot. It’s my fave!
Seriously??? Love, love, LOVE it!
