Booked.

Bookings for the remainder of 2009 are now closed.  I will be on maternity leave starting November 9 and will resume taking bookings at the end of January.  I will only accept booking for newborns during my time off, as I know how special that time is.  

Thank you to all my new and returning clients from 2009!  Stay tuned for more session sneak peaks, upcoming news and events...and a BRAND NEW BLOG!!!!  

Holiday Cards....

I'm offering a few "Retro" Holiday cards  to clients who have had a session with me this year.  If you are interested, please email or call me ASAP, as the deadline for these cards are NOVEMBER 6, 2009. 

 

A few more....

I had to post a few more from this beach session.  Stay tuned for info and deadlines for Holiday cards!

Fun at the beach...

I love shooting at the beach, especially this time of year when there aren't masses of people there on the weekends and there's a bit of a chill in the air.  This session was on one of those days where it was chilly and overcast, but still fun to run and play on the beach.  And of course, I love capturing families in their element.  This family was so much, full of spirit and energy.  They had both sets of grandparents with them, so I may need to do a separate post with just them!  In the meantime, I just wanted to give mom and dad a little  sneak peak.  I had so much fun with you guys :)  Enjoy....

 

 

Happy Birthday Miss S.

Just had to get this blog post out on this little princess' Birthday!  She turns 1 today!  I had the pleasure of meeting this family when I did their shoot last summer, when big sister was only 20 months old!  She's grown even more beautiful and still with such a flare for life!!  I can see that her little sister is going to follow in her footsteps, for sure.  I want to wish this family an extra special celebration of this little girl, who came into the world with a bit of a rough start.  You've all come a long way.  

Help me wish little S. a very special Birthday.  If we can get 25 comments with wishes, this family gets a little Birthday surprise from me!!  

Every little girl should have this book in her collection ;)

Brand new life....

It never gets old...the miracle and beauty of life.  This little bundle of sweetness was only 9 days old when we did her shoot.  So delicate and perfect.  She fit into this family like she had been there all along...just waiting for her turn.  I know big brother was excited to have her!

Here's a little sneak peak.....

A new home!

Back in the swing of things now, after enjoying 2 weeks in Lake Tahoe.  Although it was difficult to leave, I'm so excited to come back home to finish what I started before I left.  I set a goal earlier in the summer, to find a HOME for Hellybee Photography.  As much as I love working from home in my PJ's, ordering sessions with clients were getting harder and harder to manage, with lugging around all my samples and products.  I was beginning to feel like a traveling salesperson. Well....I'm so thrilled to announce that we have found a new home for Hellybee  right in downtown Los Gatos. The space was a little "corporate" for what I was looking for, but after much destruction renovating, the space is perfect!  We now have a beautiful gallery space that shows all our print products, and a spacious viewing lounge to view slideshows.  I will be posting pictures next week when it's ALL done! 

 

59 N. Santa Cruz is located between Beso's Lingerie store and the Sports Gallery.  I'm upstairs in suite O.   Stop by for a visit if your in the neighborhood!  :)

Much more to come with interior shots....

Brothers...

Just wanted to post these two cuties before I head out of town.  I'll be away for 2 weeks, but will be on email if you need to reach me.  Only a few more weeks left of summer, and I'm going to enjoy every 14 days of them while I'm away.  So many exciting things happening when I get back...including the announcement of some very exciting news!!  Stay tuned....

Sweetness...

I'm trying to catch up on all my sneak peaks before we head out of town this weekend.  This little girl is 7 months old, and was just a doll throughout the whole shoot.  Here's a little sneak peak for mom and dad...
