Over the labor day week we had my parents, my sister and her husband visiting with us. I was especially excited to see my sis and brother in law because they are expecting a bouncy baby boy in December! This will be the first baby in our immediate family.
I'm super bummed that we won't be able to be in Canada for the baby's actual birth, but we timed our tickets to ensure maximum baby time :) It was a little early to take maternity photos, but we managed to get her growing belly in some shots.
Just had to share this favorite of mine from today. G was welcomed into the world on 7/25 by his mom, dad, very helpful big sister, and grandma! I hope you have a happy Birthday Kathryn, and congratulations to all of you on your latest addition to the family!
I had the pleasure of photographing this little sweet pea the other week. I love going to clients homes and creating sessions in their own comfortable environment. Mom and Dad were quite proud of Nickaan, as was Grandma Parvaneh! Congratulations Pantea and Ali on your new little bundle of joy!

I had many clients who had babies just around Thanksgiving, and I was thrilled to have their sessions just after I planned my last holiday sessions. Here is a black and white session of one sweet baby boy taken a few days ago.
My latest newborn session was this past weekend. I absolutely love newborn sessions, and I'm excited because there are two more expected to arrive any day now!
Here is Baby S. Congratulations to C and A (parents) on such a beautiful baby boy!!
Many great things have been happening in the land of MYP (Marlo Yoshimoto Photography)!
I recently exhibited my work at our neighborhood Expo. There was a great turnout, and I met many of my own neighbors - which is wonderful having just moved in this past July. I will start to post here where I will be next so that if you are interested you can swing by and meet me. My next exhibit will be October 27th at an Escondido Elementary School for their Halloween Carnival. Please email me if you would like more information about the event. I hear over 2500 people attend!!
Also on the radar . . . I will be holding Santa Mini sessions in November! Right now they are tentatively scheduled for Nov 11 and 17th. I debated doing this because we all have experienced the "Mall Santa" photo . .. oh dear! I plan to put a spin on this tradition and get some modern poses with Santa and the children. Just a hint of Santa's gloved hand, or an exchange of expressions with Santa holding the child . ..not your typical sitting on the lap, line out the door 2 minute photo! These sessions will be 20 minutes each, and by appointment only. I have special holiday collections created just for these sessions: session + holiday cards, session + all digital images, session + print selections, etc. Please email me if you are interested and I will send you the information!
Holiday family portrait sessions . . . can you believe we are already into the holiday season?? If you are interested in taking portraits for your holiday cards, I need to get you in the books quickly! Photo labs will soon be backlogged with holiday sessions, and I won't be able to guarantee regular turn around times or even rush orders after a certain point. I will be scheduling holiday sessions before 11/16. Call me up for an appointment if you are interested!
Studio sessions now available! I just finished putting together the studio after having moved, and I'm happy to announce that it is up and running now. I am posting my first studio session below. Beautiful D, had her session just this week!
That's it for now. I will be back with more images next week!
