Beautiful Baby Blues!! Photography by San Diego Childrens Photographer Jeni Bernatz

Meet the Z family! They are visiting from Texas and booked their session a while back... I have been so looking forward to meeting these three little girls! They were so so sweet and well behaved even after driving down here from L.A. and getting stuck in some bad traffic!! I love sessions where you can se the love and connections between the siblings, it warms my heart!!



These girls all had amazing blue eyes, so pretty!! Here is your sneak peak for Miss "E", "O" and "S"...thanks for coming out and playing last night!!

Little Man B and his truck! Photography by San Diego Childrens Photographer Jeni Bernatz

So this morning after a little craziness I headed over to do portraits for little Mr. B, and oh my gosh how cute is he?? His grandma set up his session and we did it in her *beautiful* yard. This little guy has the absolute best expressions, and even his about to burst into tears face looks like a big smile!!

We got some great shot in their fabulous side yard...until the sprinklers came on and soaked us a bit, oops! We just relocated and finished the session where it was a bit drier!

Here is your sneak peak for the whole B family, there are great things in store for this little guy!

Sweet little baby belly! Portraits by San Diego Maternity Photographer Jeni Bernatz

Today I got to do a fun maternity session with Miss "C", she is due in September and is just too cute! She of course has a perfect little belly and looks terrific!! She and her husband "M" came out today for a maternity portrait session and were willing to try almost anything. They were great sports about it all, even when I put her husband to work with the reflector!



Here are some sneak peaks from todays session, I cannot wait to meet your little girl and do her newborn portraits!

Hats, scarves, petti's & boots, oh my! Photography by San Diego Family Photographer Jeni Bernatz

Last night I headed downtown to do an urban session for Mr R and Miss M. They did a session with their family at Christmas time last year, but this one was all about them! We wanted to do something a little more fun and funky so we headed downtown and brought lots of fun accessories! There were a lot of people around so we had to get creative but found a fun {safe} alley and some other storefront places that were just perfect for them!

I had such a difficult time going through their images to choose a sneak peak, there are a lot that I just love!!

Here you go G family, enjoy your sneak peak and have a great vacation!!

Wedding bells and beautiful brides! Wedding photography by San Diego photographer Jeni Bernatz

This weekend I travelled with a good friend and fellow photographer to Phoenix AZ to shoot a wedding. Yes, it was hot! I must say though, this wedding party had such a great attitude and through the heat were willing to do anything the bride and groom asked, and as a result we got some terrific shots!

I just made it home a few hours ago but was so excited to get a peak and play with a few of the pictures, and also get a little sneak peak up just in case!!

I played with all sorts of processing here, but will have some more images to come! Huge congratulations to K and B, and a lifetime of happiness to both of you!!

Isnt she *beautiful*??

now off for some much needed (and much neglected!) sleep!!

Think Pink and Fight Breast Cancer! Family Photography by Jeni Bernatz Photography

I wanted to give an little more of a sneak peak for my last session and a little more information to share also once I got the green light from them! The last session with the "F" family is a very special session and meant so much to me to be able to do.



Rhonda is the mom of this family and she was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She has a surgery date set for the end of the month and wanted to do a session to mark the start of this journey. There is so much more to her story though. I have no words to express how amazed and inspired I was just being around her and watching her with her family. Her attitude is amazing and so very positive.



Here are a few more sneak peaks for this amazing woman! (the last post is her family too!) Also check out Think Pink Photography when you get a chance, it is a great resource and one to share for sure!!
http://www.thinkpinkphotography.org/ and I am proud to be a part of this organization!

Tonight I had an absolute blast meeting the "F" family at... Balboa Park (I know, surprise surprise, but hey it is my favorite place to shoot!!) They have the most adorable boys, 3 1/2 year old "D" and 9 months old "N"-and they are deliciously cute!!

These boys were so much fun and the oldest at only 3 is already a great ball player and makes awesome tiger noises! The little one pretended he could care less if I was looking at him making faces and holding a camera, but he did reach out to me to hold him which was the highest compliment!

So, for the "F" family, here is your sneak peak!

I *love* this one of the family!!!

Some Fun, Fun, Family Portraits! Family Photography by San Diego Family Photographer Jeni Bernatz

Meet the "M" family! This little family is full of love and just so much fun to be around. Their son "R" was born with spina bifida and has surpased so so many expectations and continues to amaze everyone around him. He is full of personality and laughter that I could spend days with him!! I walked in the March of Dimes walk 5 years ago with his nicu picture on my shirt and to see him now you would never in a million years believe it is the same child!





This was a mini session for them but we ended up with some great shots in our short time together! Here is your sneak peak!
