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.

Thank you, Jenifer and Nick, for allowing me to capture your family!
