The B Family: Dana Point Family Photographer

I still have a few sessions to post, but I am have been so busy with the kids and getting ready for the holidays I have fallen way behind! I really wanted to post this session today, because it is such a beautiful holiday session. I thought Christmas Eve is an appropriate day. I love these photos because they celebrate Christmas and the very best gift, a new baby on the way. Their baby boy will be due in May. I'm so happy for them and big brother C!





C's mom had a vision of him running down the beach with tinsel trailing behind him. A great idea for a Christmas card!

Dana Point Family Session: The M Family

We have been so busy over the last few weeks that I have a bunch of sessions to blog! I am going to try to get all caught up this week, if I get some downtime from getting ready for Santa'a arrival. I got together with the M Family at beautiful Salt Creek beach in Dana Point for a mini session.


Love the smiles!


This is a perfect example of a photo that is not technically perfect, but I love it anyway!

San Juan Capistrano Family Session: The W Family

I met up with the W family at Los Rios Park in San Juan Capistrano. I think this is my favorite place for family sessions right now. There is just so much to do! The W family was so easy going and fun, the girls did wonderfully. We went on a pretty long trek, all around the train station and throughout the neighborhood. They explored each place and were just so happy!

It's a.....

....baby girl!!


Vanessa is a member of our meetup group of mom photographers. She is an amazing photographer, you can check out her work on her website Vanessa Brooke Photography.  Vanessa and her family are expecting a baby girl this winter and she had a great idea to let everyone know. The balloons were so much fun, and her little boy J loved them, too. He loved them so much he didn't want to let them go!

Laguna Beach Family Session: The L Family

Energy. That is the best word to describe this session and this family. They have lots of it! This session was a blast, complete with jumping in the water and backflips in the sand! Thanks L family for such a great time!



C is so funny...and the boy can dance!









B is such a smiley baby, but here he is looking so sweet and serious with his dad.

A Big Announcement!

I was so excited to meet up with the S Family for another session, this time to make a very important announcement! They are expecting baby #2! The Chino Airport was such a unique location, we even got to walk around and take some photos by the planes. Congratulations Jen, Kevin, and Katelynn!

What a cool way to tell everyone a new baby is on the way!



Katelynn is such a cutie, she is going to be a sweet big sister.

This is why this is one of my favorite locations so far!


Matching Converse and cute baby knees.....love it!
