With Grace in your Heart and Flowers in your Hair

I’m back with another amazing session I photographed that was styled by Kammi White. This session took place way too long ago but was SO much fun. Kammi had wanted to create a look to make use of a floral crown and I obviously couldn’t say no! We started with a gorgeous look before adding the floral crown and Kammi changed Betty‘s hairstyle. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

The C Family 2013 – Oceanside Pier and Beach

Watching this family grow has been a joy for me over the past couple of years. Jenifer first asked me to capture a maternity session with her and Nick, I photographed little C as a newborn, then I photographed Nick’s homecoming from his last deployment, which is when he met little C for the first time! It’s hard to believe that the newborn session happened about a year ago, and we’re back today with a family session to celebrate C’s first birthday!

Hearing Jenifer talk about this session in advance was so exciting! I could tell how eager she was to capture this time in her family’s life. We decided on a last-minute location change from a spot up in Orange County to Oceanside Pier and Beach and I couldn’t be happier with the images. Little C had not been to the beach before, and his expression as he ate a little sand for the first time is priceless!

Check out some of my favorites from our session below.

The Solis Family

This amazing family of 7 joined me for some adventures down in Balboa Park a few weeks ago. Though a couple of the kiddos didn’t want to cooperate at first, we had fun wandering around the park and capturing the family interacting with the surroundings and each other! We weren’t all smiles for the entire session, but it was obviously a ton of fun! And I have the hugest respect for mom and dad! I can hardly fathom raising one child, let alone 5! This kids were respectful, fun, and a true joy to be around.
