Wren Family | Portrait Session

I can't believe I photographed the Wren family exactly a year ago to this day.  Time sure does fly and the little one sure did grow up fast. Here are just some of my favorites from their second and most recent family photo session in beautiful La Jolla, CA. Enjoy!

HOLIDAY PORTRAIT SPECIAL - 2013

Here it is folks, the 2013 Holiday Portrait Special by Kelly Fitzgerald Photography!  Take advantage of the beautiful weather and celebrate your family this coming holiday season by scheduling a family portrait session.  Get a jump on your holiday shopping as photos make a great gift for your loved ones.  Greet family and friends during the holiday season with a personalized photo holiday card featuring your favorite image from the portrait session.

I specialize in environmental portraiture and the use of natural light.  What is that you ask?  Well, here is how it works.  You pick a location... it could be someplace fun like the beach or a park.  It could be downtown, with an urban setting.  All are great locations.  It can also be a special family spot... don't be afraid to think outside the box.  I can also suggest some wonderful locations.  You can wear holiday clothing colors (even fancy holiday sweaters and Santa hats if you choose) or just something nice and casual that you feel comfortable in.

Holiday photo sessions can be used by individuals, couples, kids or families of up to 4 people.  Additional people and/or pets are $25 each.  Weekday photo sessions are available as well as weekends, but they always fill up fast, so schedule today!

Cheers!

Wedding Bouquets

I've been super busy lately photographing commercial gigs for national companies as well as weddings, portraits and engagement sessions.  Thought I would share some sample wedding bouquets I recently photographed.  I think they turned out nicely. :o)

Andrea + Earl | Portrait Session

Here are some of my favorite images from Andrea and Earl's 10 year anniversary portrait session. It seems like yesterday when I photographed their wedding. I love how they wanted to have the portrait session held at the Suspension Bridge in San Diego ... the exact place they went to on their first date. Cheers to you both and happy anniversary!!! You guys ROCK!

Roberto + Nora | Engagement Session

Here are some of my favorite images from Rob and Nora's Engagement Session.  The three of us had so much fun on the Hornblower Dinner Cruise and the San Diego Bay was such a lovely backdrop.  It was such a pleasure photographing Rob and Nora, as they are one of the coolest and sweetest couples you'll meet.  I am looking forward to seeing them soon for margaritas and appetizers!

HAPPY 123RD BIRTHDAY YOSEMITE

©Photographer Unknown.

Today is Yosemite's 123rd birthday.  Aside from the politics, it is nice that the park can have a day without cars and pollution.  A day for the birds and animals to cross the roads. A day for the park to breath and exist in it's natural, undisturbed splendor.  Imagine what it would sound like.  Happy Birthday Yosemite, you're AMAZING!!!

IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL

What are the odds?  Friday, I photographed a couple, Andrea and Earl, on their ten year wedding anniversary.  I had photographed their special day ten years prior. As I was waiting for them to arrive at the location, the Suspension Bridge in San Diego, CA, another couple walked by me with their dog and coincidentally, they were newlyweds whos' wedding I had just photographed last month – Talk about a small world.

Helen Montgomery-Drysdale (1930-2013)

©Helen Montgomery-Drysdale

Helen Montgomery Drysdale, 83, world renowned photographer, born February 27, 1930, died at home at 10:40 AM June 24, 2013, surrounded by friends and her photographs.  I met Helen in 1996 and she quickly became my friend and mentor.  We collaborated together on my first major exhibit in 1996.  I have so many fond memories of hanging out with her at her home in Del Mar.  She used to tell the best stories about her time working with and photographing the Hollywood greats.  She loved black-and white film photography.  She was extremely witty and had a wonderful sense of humor.  My life is richer for knowing her.  Helen, you will be missed.  

A memorial service and tribute showing of her work will be held on August 17th, 5-7 PM at the Artist’s Space, Southfair, Jimmy Durante Blvd, Del Mar, CA. 

Contributions in her memory can be sent to the Drysdale Legacy Fund, 693 Orchid Lane, Del Mar, CA 92014 for the purpose of archiving Helen’s extensive volume of work.

She is survived by her dear friend and life partner, Dayna Carroll.
