Do Not Shake Your Baby

Today, on assignment for Kidaround Town, I got the wonderful opportunity to meet and photograph the Juceam family, who have gone through what no family should have to go through. Their little Hannah Rose lost her life due to a caretaker shaking her. Their website gives more information on how you can help get the message out NOT TO SHAKE A BABY!

Thank you so much for letting me get to spend some time with your beautiful family, share your pictures of Hannah and have alittle fun with Jordan and Benjamin. Jordan is such a smart little boy and such a good big brother and Ben ... oh, stole my heart ... such a sweetie ... and a chatter ... so cute! And you two were so wonderful ... I enjoyed seeing you love, hug and kiss your children. It touched my heart so much. Here are some of my favorites from today...thank you Jordan for the artistic idea of everyone laying on our backs ... even me!!!! I love that photo! :-) And Jordan .... don't forget to get some wintergreen lifesavers and cruch 'em in the dark with mom and dad - the sparks are totally cool! ;-)

I started the morning by hitting the road to Bodega Bay for an engagement shoot with Jason and Amber. It was a great drive. I stopped at a neat little coffee shop on Highway 1 The RoadHouse Coffee Shop . And then made my way to SchoolHouse Beach. Jason and Amber ... You guys are a kick in the pants! I had such so much fun shooting you guys! The beach was beautiful and you guys were so fun ... even with the biting eels (just kiddin')! The slideshow is of some of my favorite images of the day. Lunch at The Tides was fun ... I've always wanted to stop there and just never had. It was great to share your images with you right away! Can't wait 'til the wedding on July 4th! Lots of fireworks I'm sure!!!! :-)

What fun we had down by the dock!! Man it was hot! You guys were so much fun ... hope you enjoy your slideshow ... click on your picture and enjoy!
