This little guys is called the Brown Widow Spider. It’s caused quite a stir here in California and other parts of the US. This is probably the scariest photo shoot I’ve done. I kept thinking things were dropping on my head. It even freaked me out every time I had an itch! Bud bugs were a walk in the park compaired to this! If you want to know more about the Brown Widow, check out the Center for Invasive Species Research page to which I contribute photos from time to time. Enjoy!

I don’t shoot too many family portrait sesisons, but it’s nice to take a break from shooting weddings all the time. It gets me to think in different directions.  Thanks April! It was fun meeting your family – enjoy!
