Every so often I’m asked to photograph an extended family (multi-generation) session and was super excited about this spring one (yes, I’m very behind on blogging). I’ve photographed their individual families in the past so it was great to get them all together for this session. It was an unseasonably warm evening but the kids did great!

A baby’s first birthday is a special celebration. It’s fun looking back on all of the milestones within the first year: sitting up, crawling, first foods, first words, and possibly first steps. Scarlett’s winter wonderland celebration couldn’t have been more perfect! Scarlett’s Mom went all out on the beautiful floral arrangements, lantern centerpieces, milestone tree, gourmet goodie bag, and fantastic menu. Here are a few photos from Scarlett’s first birthday party!

If you have been following my blog for a while, you have been watching the Hall girls grow up! Despite the very windy Sunday evening, the orange grove, duck pond, and gazebo made the perfect setting for their annual portraits. They are a very sweet family and I look forward to capturing their memories every year.

I’ve photographed these boys for several years now and the Brown family selects a different spot for every session. One of the best things about fall sessions is enjoying Southern California’s dazzling displays of fall foliage. The boys had fun shuffling through the leaves and climbing the countless fallen logs.

I met the Baker family last month at a beautiful orange grove for their annual fall session. The girls are at the perfect age when they feel free to just be themselves; many natural and warm family moments. I had so many favorites from this session that it was hard to narrow them down for this post. Enjoy!

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding and challenging jobs we can choose. Yet, newborns have the most perfect little fingers and toes,
lips, and a button nose. Enjoy these fleeting moments and your new sweet bundle of joy.

It feels like yesterday that I was capturing their second daughter’s newborn pictures and I’m always amazed by the changes from one year to the next. The girls are gorgeous and sweet children and I feel lucky to photograph the De Alba family each year.

I’m sure you’ll recognize this adorable girl from last year’s portraits. She has so much personality and I look forward to seeing her every year. Mom picked a fun location to let her burn off some energy while they enjoyed playing together. And daddy knew all the tricks to keep her giggling!

It’s been a busy season with my holiday sessions and was thrilled to finally squeeze in this new family, Bieler family. The kids were both very cooperative, for their ages, which made my job much easier. Thank you for a great session and hope the images bring happiness for many years to come.

It was fun photographing the Josett family again this year — especially their daughter who absolutely loved the camera. I do many of my holiday sessions at the same locations, but each family is so beautiful in their own special way. And each child brings their own personality to the session. Could these two kids possibly be any cuter?  Thanks for all the laughs during your session!

After a drizzly weekend here in Los Angeles, I thought it was a perfect time to post a sunny fall session! I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful Sullivan family during their October session. The parents never stopped smiling over their sparkly blue-eyed girl. I love capturing these magical emotions and this sweet little girl’s family is so full of love.

The location below is one of my favorite spots for family photos. While the spring is blooming with wildflowers and rolling green hills, fall is bursting with its own muted shades of yellow, orange, and red. It started out as a drizzly November day, but the sky opened and the sun shone down on us.
