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 Riemann Family

I was tremendously honored when my neighbor and fellow photographer, Ashley, contacted me to photograph her family this fall. We set a date what seemed like years ago and I anxiously awaited their amazing family session on Oceanside Pier and the surrounding beach. Her family’s sweetness made the unusually icy morning seem not so frigid. ;) Here are a few favorites from our session.

A session with HeartsApart.org

It has been a while since I’ve posted a session done as a photographer with HeartsApart.org. Giving back to fellow military families is so awesome, and I absolutely love HeartsApart.org’s mission: “to keep families connected while our military men and women are serving abroad.” Photographs are such a powerful way to be comforted when we’re apart from our loved ones. Each image seems to trigger a different emotional reaction and I have definitely cherished the images I took with my husband before he deployed. :)

Here are some favorite images from a recent session photographed for HeartsApart.org.
