Helllllo J. Crew models!

Even on a cold, wet and windy day this family is totally picture perfect.

Low Tide.

Nothing beats low tide at the San Clemente pier.

This family was so much fun.

Monson Family.

Another adorable Southern California family.

McDonald Family.

Most photogenic family of all time.
Seriously.

Ohana. {Kailua Photo Shoot}

We were visiting cousins in Hawaii back in October and I loved shooting at a new location,
especially when it involves tresspassing. ;)
We miss them so much living so far away, but you don't have to twist my arm to visit Hawaii.
They make beautiful kids and I'm so excited that baby #3 is on the way!
Check out those hawaiian tans...

Willis Family.

Not only is this the best dressed family of all time, but they were such a blast to photograph.
It was fun to venture out of orange county and try out a new location.
We shot at Travel Town up in Los Angeles and check out how much they sparkle. ;)

Harris Family. {Laguna Beach}

Love this family and the fun we had at this shoot.
It definitely doesn't feel like work when you are laughing the entire time.
These kids are hilarious and were totally loving their camera time.

Cameron Family.

Gorgeous location for a gorgeous family. 

 How stunning is this pregnant mama?

Williams Family.

I feel like I've known this family forever, but really it's just been the past few years I have taken their photos. 

You can't really go wrong with kids this cute!

Here are a few of my favorites from our shoot at crystal cove.

Karpowitz Family

Loved photographing this family at my favorite beach in Laguna.

You can just tell through these photos how much this family loves each other.

A few of my favorites...

I have been working/editing like crazy and blogging seems to always be my last priority.

Here is a photo buffet sampling of my recent work...well, and some not so recent...

Families make me happy.

Andrews Family.

Gorgeous family on a gorgeous day in Newport Beach.

I am always reminded at every photo shoot that family is really what life is all about.

I LOVE my job.

A pretty night with pretty light. 

Ballstaedt Family

This family could not be more beautiful, inside and out.

Lisa and I go waaaaaay back and I love that we get to be mommies together.

Baby Gemma is a dream baby and those blue eyes will melt anyone's heart.

Days like this on the beach with awesome friends is what makes my job so great. 

Recent Work. {AKA Photo Dump}

Well, here you have it. 

A random selection of my recent work, mostly from last year.

The truth is, I just don't have the time (or energy) to post my favorites from every session, especially during the busy season.

I feel that each family should receive individual attention, but it has just been piling up as I feel more behind each day. 

So I hope you'll forgive me in this informal attempt to catch up on this neglected blog.

I loved looking back on the wonderful moments I shared with all of you!

THANK YOU for making this job so fulfilling.

ahhh, the weight has been lifted.

Hallstrom Family.

Still playing catch up.

Ward Family.

Loved everything about this shoot.

Love this family. Love all the green trees & the sunshine after the rain.

Love that I got to shoot in a new place I've never been.
