An ugly day turned pretty

Last Sunday we went out to Oceanside for our most recent Senior portrait session. We were there the week before and it was gorgeous - sunny skies, very few people, and clean water under the pier. This was not the case this time, the skies were as grey as could be, it was freezing cold, there were people everywhere, and some disgusting odd black muck was gushing out of a pipe, causing black water under the pier that we had hoped to use in our pictures. We considered rescheduling for a moment, but then decided we could make it work, and look at these gorgeous results! You would never know the gloomy conditions by looking at the resulting pictures.







Mamarazzi offers a great Senior portrait special. It's an affordable opportunity to get pictures different from the standard school photographer shots. For just $99 you get a 30 minute photo session, and an online gallery to choose an 8x10 print of your choice. Get the entire session on disc for just $50 more. Contact us to schedule your session!

Haiti Fundraiser Video

Mamarazzi is proud to have given to the orphans in Haiti, through Danita's Children. We teamed up with Photographers for Haiti, and hosted a photo day, where all of the proceeds went directly to Danita's Children. We are excited to report that we helped raise over $550 to assist in relief efforts. Take a peek at our video to get a glimpse of all of the wonderful families who participated:

Jumping for Joy!

The theme this week at I Heart Faces is "Jump for Joy", and that is exactly what this image says to us. It is from a photo session during the holiday season. This cute little guy kept asking if it was time for the "fun stuff", and after posing patiently for all the photos we asked him for he set off to jump, and boy did he ever. He FLEW right over that bush below him, and paused mid-air to look at the camera, just as requested. He is going to be a star athlete some day for sure!

I Heart Faces - Texture

You can almost feel the joy...

I heart faces is having another contest, and we are totally sucked in, so of course we are entering!

Stacey took this picture of Sydney on a dry, sunny afternoon. You know us Southern California girls have to have umbrellas even when it rains only about 3 times a year. We experimented with various textures until we came up with just the right style we were looking for.

I Heart Faces - Best Face Photo

Mamarazzi just heard about an incredibly cool way to share a favorite picture! I Heart Faces has a contest right now called "Best Face Photo", seems like a fun idea, so we thought we'd join the fun!

Here is a picture of the littlest one between our two families. Tricia gets credit for the baby, Stacey gets credit for the outfit. We took lil' Miss Carleigh to the park to get some pictures with her buddy, and unfortunately neither were up for the gig. Carleigh was mid laugh.... and then meltdown!

Thanks for looking!
