studio news | san luis obispo california child photographer

Christmas is just around the bend…and Lisa Maksoudian Photography is ready to wrap it up for the season. No, not closing…simply getting orders out to my dear clients and friends so that everyone has their Christmas pictures in hand before the 3 holidays collide!

All Portrait Sessions for 2010 are filled and/or completed. Spring Sessions 2011 have a waiting list growing. Please email the studio if you would like to secure a spot in the 2011 calendar. Every year the dates fill up more quickly than the last, so please keep this in mind!

The next few weeks will be spent working some fun new changes around here. Studio hours will be sporadic, but please email if you have any questions. I will be checking emails daily and can usually respond withing 48 hours.

And because I get so much flack for not including a picture with my posts…i give you, one sweet silly babe. in a dress ‘with puff sleeves’! 🙂

now that the dust is settling | children’s photographer san luis obispo

not that the weather is a good measure of defining the season her in California: blazing heat. blustering rain. foggy morning. temperate evening. repeat. but in my spirit if can just FEEL the holiday season approach! and as i’ve been busy finishing orders, packaging them up and sending them off to their new homes i’ve been looking back over the past year a bit nostalgically. there have been so many sweet, new faces here at the studio…and so many gorgeous kiddos returning to show off their growth! and it’s such a tender and precious gift to watch families grow, add new little people, and find new adventures together.

i feel so much like a schmuck for always promising to blog more…and not being able to keep up. something about having a newborn and two big kiddos is at the root of it all…but in all honesty, i’ve wanted proofing and orders to be timely. so the poor blog has suffered much this year. the question of where to begin in showing the good, the great and the gorgeous is overwhelming, so i’m going to start with what’s on my desk at the moment. one boy. two years. it’s just amazing to see how much they change in the blink of an eye! a little older, a little wiser…and ever more handsome. without further adieu, here’s Mr. C…the boy with the golden eyes.

the perfect problem | family and children’s photographer in san luis obispo

if you’re going to have a problem, i suppose this one is a good one to have: too many gorgeous images. no way to choose a favorite…or two…or 6…or ten. so guess what? i’m just going to show everything. (actually, this barely scratches the surface…) i LOVE this sweet little family!!!

if you’ve followed my blog for a couple of years–or if you’ve been to Bambini Baby in downtown SLO–you might recognize this hat. big sister sported it for HER 6 month pictures over 2 years ago! 🙂
