While I am gearing up for holiday and working in my editing office (wink, wink), Madeleine and Ryder decided to have a little fun picking the winner of the "you want one" contest...


Lynette, e-mail me at gina@ginaleephoto.com with you address, size and your choice of item... Congrats!.. Thanks to all who participated... it just kinda makes things fun around here...

Any ideas on what we should do for the next contest? I am open for ideas... ;)

the barn...

I just love photographing this family... they are always up for something different as well... here are just a few from our past shoot-out at the barn.. :)

Anybody else want to go to the barn or some other neat-o locations for your family portraits? I only have just a few more open spots for November. October is booked and I will be taking the month of December off to enjoy time with my family and friends( with the few exceptions of the sessions already booked and newborn sessions).

Stay tuned for more families, more children and some really cool Christmas cards to be launched...

and we still can not forget about the next few parts of "Get tha' Funk Out"..

The Expectant...........

I am so happy when families call and are pretty much up for anything.... Oh! it just makes me smile... HA!
The fun we all had on this session... It was so nice getting to know this family and I feel just as excited to meet their newest addition, Katie.... and to document her first couple weeks into this world.. Thanks guys.. I hope you had as much fun as I did...

There are so many more blog-able ones, but I will save the rest for their enjoyment first... ;)... enjoy the sneak peek......

I always love to see what goes on in the What the duck series... check it out if you get a chance.. Amateurs, professionals and people that just like photography will get a kick out of these comic strips and t-shirts...

but here, at "The Blog", you can get one t-shirt for FREE!.. how cool is that?... all you have to do is leave a comment on this post and one winner will be picked randomly to get one of these cool hip t-shirts.. pretty easy huh!... ANYONE can enter.. only one requirement, after you win it, you have to wear it and send in a picture for all of us to see and enjoy...... ;) Deal? Have fun....

(Just added)... 3 new designs... c'mon peeps... even if you are just a peeker...

Meet the Roth's

I always enjoy photographing this family.. we meet year after year around the same time, just different locations... and as usual, it is always a blast hanging out with this family...

It is nice too see how much the kids have grow in one year and so sad to know that time just goes by way too fast...

I know Ryan is anxiously awaiting her sneak peek... much more to come your way very soon.... Enjoy...


I just love her big brown beautiful eyes...

not too much smiling early on, but with eyes like those, I dont think he needs too... ;)




This one just makes me smile....

and this one too...

This is for Ryan...

because I know she is anxiously awaiting her sneak peek.... HA.. :)

the fun zone....

We took it to the zone, the "fun zone".... and ate lots of sweeeeets... :) but so worth it....

I had the privilege of meeting this family for the first time in Balboa beach at the fun zone... Just where every kid can just be a kid.
Heck!, the parents can be kid's too...... I know I am when I am there... :)

I grabbed a few portraits and let them go to town on all the sweet treats.... I think they were actually pretty happy taking pictures with all the overload on sugar... Ha!...

here is a mini peek of our afternoon...












G.

I'm yours.....

I am so happy right now... :) this is for Chris... ;)
G.

Sweeeeeeeet.....

I can not put a child in a candy store and not give him any candy, that would just be wrong... ;)...

stay tuned for the "sweet" shots. more coming up... :)
