I love cards, all cards, Christmas cards, wedding invitations, birth announcements, birthday cards. I get excited when I see a card in the mail. It’s almost a ritual from admiring the handwriting on the envelope and seeing which stamp the sender chose, to carefully opening it, feeling the weight of the paper in my hand, oohing the photo or design on the front, and only then opening the card and reading the sentiments inside. I especially love seeing the cards made by Polka Photos clients. All of my wedding and portrait packages include photos on disc because I believe that photos keep memories alive for years to come. I also think it’s fun to use those photos on cards from save-the-dates to holiday cards.
Here’s a couple of cute cards from Charlotte’s photo session. Her mom couldn’t decide between two photos, so she made two different cards. I think both are adorable.
 Liz and Joel send out annual newsletters. I love receiving them because it’s fun to read their year in review. It’s also fun to see which photos they’ll choose.
I recently entered the Top Knots wedding photo contest. I would love it if you would vote for my photo of the lovely Ashley & Brian for the People’s Choice Awards.

Here’s the link: I received an email this morning from the International Aperture Awards letting me know my photo of Claudia and Tony won the bronze in the wedding division. Woohooo! This year bronze, next year platinum!
CONGRATS!!!! Awesome!!! Congrats 😀 You deserve it! Yay! Congratulations! Poway, California I took a trip to Old Poway Park for some fun family portraits. If these faces look familiar, it’s probably because I took their family portraits last year.
This family started with Liz and Joel, the very first wedding I photographed. I knew Liz in college, where I was studying photojournalism. Their first kiss lasted less than a millisecond but they’ve been making up for it ever since. (With their permission I’ll try to get a scan of that photo to post for you.) Their first addition to the family was Eddie, who is a natural in front of the camera. Then came Jolie, a super cute baby sister for Eddie.
We started out taking some photos around the railroad tracks. Jolie is a happy camper. Eddie jumps from rock to rock with his dad.
Dad offers a helping hand.
We found a cool doorway for a picture of the whole family.
Then we walked over to the old trains… … for more family photos.
Couldn’t resist a funny photo in front of the condemned sign. I wonder if the sign was for Jolie’s stinky diaper?
Thank you Liz, Joel, Eddie and Jolie for a fun afternoon!
