The weather has been so crazy this year, it has been tough to get a beach shoot in on a nice day.  We try to schedule this over about a 4 week period and it just kept being terrible weather.  Finally, this family agreed to go ahead and shoot on an overcast day!  I am so glad we did, because I really like clouds and a little gloom in this location!  These guys were so great and really up for doing anything we requested.  Even though it was cloudy, the water and air temperature was really nice and warm.  Directly after the shoot, they grabbed their skimboards and hit the waves!  Thanks so much to the family for working with me!  Enjoy!

Many of you know Suzi from The Perfect Impression (click to see her website) and that we work together on promotions and her catalog shots.  These images are of her beautiful family.  We rushed down to the beach, as it was getting dark, but we were still able to get some beautiful shots of her whole family.  Her girls are just gorgeous, and very, very giggly!  I love the outfits they choose for this shoot.  The dresses are so “hip” without being too trendy.  Thanks for being patient Suzi!  Enjoy!

You would never believe it by looking at these beautiful images, but it was raining on us during this photo shoot.  Everyone was unbelievably good sports, to brave the weather and lots and lots of bugs.  I have to admit that the beautiful colors in these images would not be possible without a little bit of rain.

Many of you have received our newsletter about my involvement in InCourage Foundation.  Jeneen is on the Board of Directors with me and is just an awesome person.   AND, what about her boys????  Are they gorgeous or what.  Not only are they extremely handsome, but they are totally into hats (which most of you know is my obsession).   I love how sweet and innocent the boys are in these portraits.  You can definitely feel the love between all of the family members!  Enjoy!!

I always love it when I get the chance to photograph a family that I know personally.  This fabulous family is local to Laguna Beach!  Unfortunately, we did not have much beach to work with, because the tide was coming it, but we still managed to get some beautiful family images.  Four kids can be kind of challenging, but these four were fantastic (although the baby was definitely a moving target)!  Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your family for this holiday season!  I had an awesome time with all of you!

This shoot has been a long time coming.  Dr. Cohen works with my Dad and my Dad keeps telling me, Mitch really wants to do a family photography session with you.  Time would go by, and I wouldn’t hear anything and then  again my Dad would say, “no really, Mitch wants to do a photo session with you”!   Then, out of the blue a few weeks ago he e-mailed me and said he was ready.  Now, being a mother of two and working full time, I totally get it that it is hard to find time to get everyone together for a shoot.  I am so glad we finally did!  Mitch has a gorgeous family and you can really tell how much the kids love both their Mom and Dad.  And did I mention the kids eyes?  They are fantastically beautiful (is fantastically a word?)!  The Mission made the perfect backdrop for the fun family!  Enjoy!
