My favorite part of a family lifestyle session are the candids. This allows the session to be natural while still capturing the images the family desires. The family below did just that, having fun with their little guy! A big congratulations to the Perez family; they are expecting their second child in a couple of months!

This last month has been HOT and not quite the normal weather for us here in Southern California. Despite the warm sunlight, this was perfect location for this family to run up and down the historic 1898 railroad trestle bridge during their summer session. Portrait lifestyle sessions are customized for each family. Your session can scheduled at beautiful outdoor location of your choice or in the comfort of your own backyard.

I enjoy photographing children at all ages, but I really notice a baby’s blossoming personality at age one. And this little cutie was no different. She was so puzzled by the sound of my camera’s shutter that she rarely took her eyes off me. The fun-loving family wanted to incorporate the local bridge in their session so we hiked down through the weeds and sand for some fun shots. On a side note, a big Congratulations to this family that is expecting a baby boy later this year!

Spring has sprung, and the colors are absolutely beautiful this time of the year. I had a fun time chasing after this little guy over at the Bridgeport grounds. His face lit up every time he encountered a new leaf or quacking duck and kept me giggling the entire session. Check back to see this cutie’s 1st birthday party photos!

The Ogden family was so sweet and I’m lucky I was able to squeeze their session in before the holidays. Each family is beautiful in their own special way and I strive to capture their uniqueness. These boys were a less rumbustious that I’m used to, but little sister made up for their quietness. Twirling around in her cowboy boots; it’s no surprise that her big brothers adore her.

This quaint bridge overlooking natural oak groves, rolling hills, and paved pathways is one of my favorite locations for family sessions. However, It was a chilly windy December evening, but the Shinkarik family were troopers! By the photos below, their bond was apparent and grateful for the opportunity to capture their family.

What’s more fun than chasing these boys around a Christmas tree farm during the holidays! As a parent of two balls of energy, I know the secrets in grabbing their attention and capturing those giggles that make it all worthwhile. Happy Holidays!

After the mild temperatures of October I can hardly complain, but November’s chilly weather arrived with an unmistakeable message. Despite the gray skies, I was thrilled to photograph the Hall family on their front brick steps. It was a beautiful, and personal, backdrop for this year’s holiday portraits.

This incredibly bright 3.5 yr old below is truly one of the sweetest boys I’ve photographed. It’s just too hard to resist those sparkly blue eyes and long curly eye lashes. His family battled a serious bout of pneumonia earlier last month, so I was quite relieved to see them all on the mend.

From the moment I saw the yellow and turquoise combo on the Feldhaus family I knew it was going to be a fun session! They came all the way from Santa Barbara and ready to burn off some energy. Big sister smiled from ear to ear and did a great job keeping little sister interested in the camera.

I love exploring new settings, especially with such easygoing clients like the family below. Thankfully, the drizzly November afternoon didn’t stop their 15-month-old from having fun. She was quite a little ball of energy, with tangible curiosity.

The Josett family are neighbors and wasn’t even discovered until our kids started kindergarten earlier this year. You can tell big sister loves her little brother so much and lights up every time she places her arm around him.
