It was a beautiful day in San Diego, 5byseven photography had a chance to photograph this lovely young couple- Jennie and John. They had just bought some picture frames and needed them filled so we jumped at the opportunity. Since their mom’s are best friends, they had become good family friends. It’s plain to see how their friendship had bloomed into love and adoration. I asked them when was it that they had fallen in love, Jennie responded…

“I never really thought of having a serious relationship until after college, and John wasn’t the type of person to be committed. It wasn’t until his older brother Ray’s wedding where things between us began to change. We started to hang out more often than usual, and the attraction between us became so strong, we became inseparable. It was obvious that there were more feelings involved other than just butterflies and blushes. After realizing how different and happy I am when John is around, I finally admitted to myself that I had fallen for him, and so did he.”

Funny enough, they were complimented by passerby’s “Congratulations!” For clarification this was not an engagement session. Just a celebration of being a couple. Maybe “Congratulations” is appropriate because they found love in one another.

Myleen and Carlo came by the 5byseven studio for Maternity Photos earlier this week. This lovely couple were given a photo session as a gift from an old family friend. Myleen (native San Diegan) met Carlo (native San Franciscan) and according to Carlo it was love at first sight. Jordan Isaiah is due to arrive in about 3 weeks. Congratulations Myleen and Carlo!

Happy Holidays everyone from my small family to yours. May you have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. I had the chance to take portraits of my family here at the 5byseven studio. Oh boy was it packed but it was fun. Starting with the young couple right below, Mr and Mrs Francisco (89) & Illuminada Bautista (85), will celebrate their 60th Anniversary next Christmas. The following pictures are of their children and their families. Although I don’t see my family as often as I should, it is definitely nice to know they are here in San Diego.

These two adorable brothers, Big Bro Jacob and Little Bro Ian are two of the cutest San Diego kids we’ve photographed. Matt and Cheryl are blessed to have these two boys in their family. We hope you enjoy these portraits as much as we enjoyed taking them.

It’s the Christmas season and we’re almost doing a photo session a day until we leave from San Diego to Turkey next Thursday. And when the Benitez family called asking for family photographs, we didn’t hesitate to schedule a session. They were one of the first maternity photos I did and I will always be grateful for that opportunity. Now Landon’s a happy growing boy with a lovely family.
