I’m in the middle of a wonderful workshop and wanted to share what I captured for one of my lessons. The lesson was to find the light indoors and I love how these turned out!
To keep it real, I tried to document a few of the little things Brooks likes to do around the house. Mr. Potato Head came to school for sharing this day so we snuck him in a few shots.
This one cracks me up … Brooks loves to chat with our neighbor from here!
Oh my, those are awesome!!!!! You found the light, for sure! I love B’s outfit. Too cute!
Your work never ceases to amaze me! I love the storytelling quality of these! Great job Jules!
Jules. seriously amazing stuff!! can I be you when i grow up?
The fabulous women (Brenda and Kristy) with Bloom Workshop are celebrating a wonderfully successful year of workshops!

oooh, thanks for that tip-off. Going to check it out now. Been wanting to take their workshops but hasn’t worked out yet!
I LOVE February … not only do we get to celebrate Valentine’s day but we also get a week of vacation. So many of our friends took off for the slopes and sun this past week…Puerta Vallarta, Mammoth, Big Bear, Bahamas, Tahoe, Hawaii. We weren’t able to get away for vacation so once again we took advantage of the gorgeous weather we had in San Diego… you can’t beat 70 degree weather in February.
I love this series of images that document the fun afternoon Brooks and I spent at the beach with the Stanleys. The light was beautiful! As you can see, these crazy kiddos had a blast digging, racing, and jumping in the waves!

Jules, these seriously might be some of my favorite shots of yours! And, you know I’m a fan, so that means a lot! I love the fact that the kids were wet and sandy in their clothes and it was okay 
Awesome job capturing a fun day!
Wow. All of these were so artistic. Would be a great series part of a wall gallery. Love it.
Beautiful! I wondered what you were up to over break! Looks like the kids had a fabulous time!
Oh my…you’ve outdone yourself here! What a fun loving story these pics tell. I have many faves from this session. The jumping one and the one of Brooks kissing the little girl stand out in my mind. Perfecto on the editing!!!! So nice and consistent!!!!!!!!!!!
You rock, Jules!! I love the muscle pose. And C. and baby couldn’t be any cuter!!
What great pictures!
seriously… you are getting SO GOOD!! these are awesome, jules… come to SLO so i can pick your brain…
And yet another to add to my list of favorite sessions you have done!! Beautiful Job.
LOVE!! These are amazing! I want to come to San Diego and hang out at the beach with you!
Jules – I just love these! Timeless and perfect!
Okay…now this is my favorite session you have ever done! I think I keep saying that with each session but this one is very special! I love the images under the pier. The lighting is TDF and the reflection is the water is stunning. You rock girl!
Delightful images!
I’m swooning over all of these Jules!!! So beautiful!!
You do amazing work! These are all gorgeous. Had fun looking through your blog.
These are gorgeous!!! Totally love your work!
Wow…….amazing work Jules! I seriously love these pictures!!
Last year about this time, Brenda and Kristy started Bloom Workshops. I participated in the second workshop and was forever changed as a photographer. They helped me with exposure, creativity, and most of all confidence! As a refresher, I am participating as a ’silent member’ in their current workshop and have loved hearing their words of wisdom all over again.
Last night I was inspired to go out and work on the beautiful sunset light. Brooks and I took off for the creek … he went in search of an adventure and I was looking for light, inspiration and confidence. Even before I uploaded these, I knew I had found what I was looking for. I’m so thankful for my little heart breaker for stopping every so often so I could practice. It’s great to feel like I’ve got my grove back after feeling lost for the past couple of weeks.
One thing I love about these is that they were 99% done after just a couple clicks in LR. I just finished them up in CR4 with some sharpening, a bit of texture on a few and resized for web. It couldn’t have been easier!
Sorry if I posted too many, but I LOVE these and I LOVE my kid.
These make me happy!
xoxo
p.s. I’m running a special through the end of February … $100 off the session fee for a session at this location… only two spots available. Session must take place in February!

ah! love them all! the golden hues, the setting… any of the pictures could be an ad for coca-cola… the imagery is beautiful & the story they tell is adorable!!
Oh my goodness! Jules, if I lived closer I would have booked already! Absolutely perfect!
oh my gosh, the Coke shots are the best! They look just like a Coke ad. I was thinking he’s a total GAP boy. Rachel walked up as I was looking at these and thinking that he should be a GAP model and she said, “he could be a GAP kid!” – great shots as always What a perfect subject he is.
BEAUTIFUL! I totally agree with everything already said! I was thinking to myself that Brooks looks like a GAP kid, that you should submit those photos for a coke ad, and that I wish you could take our pictures! I can’t tell you how very much I love these photos!
These are wonderful. As wonderful as Brooks is in person. Can you try this again with Brooks and Cooper? He might not be as cooperative but would try.
So many perfect shots!! These need a wall and a book!! Soon you will be teaching a workshop Jules!
all beautiful…
Stunning Jules!!! I love these, I can’t even pick a favorite! I need those 70’s glasses!
Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! I have enjoyed watching you grow as a photographer since I found your blog and I enjoy watching that cutie pie grow, too! May I ask what lens you are using here? The bokeh is soooooo nice!
JULES!!! Stop it now! Stop your awesomeness. These are making me weepy. They show perfect boyishness! Adorable to the max!
Oh my goodness Jules-these are awesome!! I love the lighting and the bokeh is incredible-wow!
absolutely gorgeous Jules!! every last one of them!!
That faint pink plus showed up on Valentine’s Day six years ago … so this day will always be extra special. I LOVE my sweet Valentine boy!!!
I was able to sneak away from class for a few minutes on Friday to be with Brooks and his class as they celebrated Valentines day!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
xoxo

That is crazy, Jules! I got my faint pink + two years ago today with Griffin! What a coincidence!
Love the V-day shirt!!!! And I love school pics! Happy V-day to you guys!
Love his shirt, Jules! So fun you get to be close enough to hop in his classroom to catch those little special school moments!
Oh my gosh Jules our boys are just one year one day apart. Connor’s birthday was today and he just turned 7. I am always so amazed at how beautiful all your images are. Even at school!
oh my how cute is that boy!? love the hair!
Beautiful as usual. Love the shirt and how you captured school party.
Great photos of your little Valentine cutie! Looks like a fun party too
