Brooks and I enjoyed a wonderful ‘adventure’ with the Sullivans, at the Quail Botanical Garden to kick off our holiday vacation. We hadn’t had a chance to visit the new children’s garden so we picked a warm December night to enjoy some fun and to see Santa. This was the Sullivans first visit to the Gardens and they LOVED it just as much as we did. If you haven’t been there, be sure to check it out!

The new children’s garden has so many fun things for kids! These three loved the giant treehouse, the watering garden, the instrument area and so much more. When it got dark, there were marshmallows to roast and a visit with Santa. Brooks and Phoebe even enjoyed a turn on the dance floor. :)

Thanks for such a fun night out!

naughty little boy … trying to sneak a peek

someone needs to give Brooks some gardening lessons

BOO!!!

it was starting to get dark so I upped my ISO to 4000-6400 … I love this camera!

I brought my external flash along just in case … it worked perfectly to capture the rest of the night!

Jennifer Smith - Those are awesome pictures!!! Jules you really have an eye for taking pictures! Each picture is like a piece of artwork you can hang in a gallery.

Christina - Gorgeous scenery! Looks like fun times!!! I’m jealous of your ISO capability. I miss out on so many night shots because of my camera.

One of my favorite December traditions is a trip to Balboa Park to see the Grinch! This year, I was on the computer ordering our tickets the first morning they were released … we had fabulous seats! Brooks’ good buddy Trevor and his mom joined us and also sitting close by were the Sullivans.

Brooks and I arrived a little early and enjoyed a bit of sun as we walked around the park. After the show, we all hit City Deli for such a yummy lunch!

Thank you to the Douds and the Sullivans for making this December tradition even more special!

What’s a trip to Balboa Park without a few captures of my favorite boy!

san diego child portraits | a visit with santa

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

On Sunday we had our annual visit with Santa! Brooks and his buddies have been coming to see this Santa ever since he was one month old! He always looks forward to sharing his wish list with Santa and playing with good friends. His list doesn’t change much from year to year… last year it was super heros and knights and this year star wars and knights! Done!!!

Yes… I know there are too many, but poor Brooks has been a bit neglected on the blog. Also, I was playing around with new processing on this set using my new florabella actions. :)

Happy Holidays!

The first 4 years… I love what the Santa Ana winds did for his hair when he was 2! :)

A few from last year…

And now to 2009… we arrived a little early so Brooks enjoyed hanging out with b and b.

The five B’s had a great morning! Thanks Santa!!!
