This session was a birthday gift! What a fabulous idea. We all met at one of my favorite locations in Laguna Beach and focused on the goal of getting this extended family an updated photo with all of the new family members, as well as smaller groupings. Such a fun time, and the little grandsons were such a blast!  

Baby Jace arrived in May, and he made for the third boy in the J family! I always smile at three-boy families. I think how awesome it is for the boys to have all their brothers, and laugh that I always thought I’d be a “boy mom.” Didn’t work out that way, but I definitely have a heart for all-boy families. Look at how sweet he is, and how his big brothers already adore him!  

This family is near and dear to me. I’ve watched them marry, then grow this family of theirs and I couldn’t be more proud to call them friends. While visiting from Santa Barbara, we planned to carve out time for long overdue family portraits. I am so glad I got to capture the T family doing what they do best–playing and loving on each other.  

This little man’s sweet parents shared with me at their maternity session that they would be waiting to find out whether itty bitty baby was a boy or a girl. What a fun surprise it was for them when they found out he is a BOY! And what an adorable little guy he is. I had so much fun snuggling with him that day, it was difficult to hand him back over. Before I show all his adorableness, check out his… Read more »

Let’s try playing a little game of catch-up, shall we?! I am a wee bit behind on blogging my sessions. So we’ll start with sessions from *ahem* May. I blame it on those littles running around my house I blogged about the other week. ;) First up, the R family. They’re all gorgeous. And sweet. And just plain adorable. They recently made a huge move across the country (thank you for serving our country, R family!), and wanted to capture… Read more »

I have a confession: I am slightly terrified of my girls turning two today. And it’s not because turning two makes them officially toddlers, and they’re no longer babies, and I don’t have baby stuff in my house anymore and OHMYWORDWHEREHASTHETIMEGONE! It’s because they’re two, and there are two of them. And big bro is only 3 1/2, and didn’t he JUST leave the terrifically awesome two’s, and finish getting his molars in, and OHMYWORDNOWTHEREISTWOOFTHEM. It’s slightly…crazy…at my house sometimes….

This sweet couple should be expecting their little bundle sometime very soon! I can’t wait to do her newborn session once she makes her appearance. I love maternity sessions because I think women are just so gorgeous during this time in their life, and I just love all of the love and anticipation surrounding the baby. It’s so easy to get genuine smiles out of these dads because they’re just stoked on what’s coming! Such a joy to be part… Read more »
