Amy's One Year Portraits

I went to Amy's house for her one year session. Her mom wanted to incorporate some family heirlooms into the photos, which makes for great meaningful family images.

Grandma's vanity:

Dad's rocking chair when he was a little one:


So serious with her book reading:


She had a little fun with her cake:


But mostly had this attitude about it:

Thanks for a great session, Amy and Katie. The slideshow will be posted soon.

Alex's National Child Model Search Session

Alex and I did her Model Search Session at her home in Dixon. We ran out of light before we had a chance to finish everything we wanted to do so there will be a few more coming, but these were a few of my favorites. It's going to be so hard to pick one to enter! You can go to www.sandypucvotes.com to vote on Alex's entry when it is posted.

Stover Family in Yuma Arizona

I had a great time at the Wetlands Park in Yuma photographing Tammy and her two sons the day I left Yuma. Calvin has been off to college and was home visiting for the holidays.

Calvin and Scott:

With mom:

I find myself really liking the desert foliage and that beautiful blue sky.


And just one of Tammy.

Andrew's National Child Model Search Session

I did a fun little model search session at Balboa Park on Sunday for Andrew. His mom will have to choose her favorite to enter in the contest. I've posted four of my favorites. You can follow this link, www.sandypucvotes.com to vote for Andrew's entry when the image is posted.

Andrew was a real natural and full on ham in front of the camera. He wasn't shy at all and made quite a few suggestions about where to take his photo. He had already made his way down the trail once so he knew how to guide me to this spot:


This red bench outside one of the International Cottages went well with his shirt.

Andrew loved his new hat!

I think this is his tough guy ninja look.


Thanks for being such a great model Andrew!

National Child Model Search - Gina Alexander Discount Special

I forgot to mention that entrants in the National Child Model Search will also receive a 25% discount on all Gina Alexander Photo Handbag products.

This is a sample of the Christine Handbag, which retails for $300. The image shown on the purse, which is being featured on the Gina Alexander website, is Dixon's Natalie Sarley, from the purse her mother, Jennifer, purchased last year. It was exciting to see Natalie's photo and my work, on Gina's website!


The sample shown below is the Emma handbag which retails for $65.

A great idea for a Father's Day gift is the canvas wallet, which retails for $140 .

Additionally, all contest entries will receive a chance to win a complimentary small cosmetic bag.

Baby Portraits at the Wetlands Park in Yuma, AZ

Too bad Leah is just a few months too young to be entered into the National Model Search Contest...she is so darn cute. It was too hard to pick images for posting. She is very expressive and we managed to capture so much of her personality.

When "peek-a-b00" behind the camera actually works:


Just chillin'...


A little angry (ya think?):

Flirting with the camera:

Contemplating, possibly of trying to eat another flower?

Sweet, sweet, sweet. Check out those eyelashes!
