A Family at Home. {Lifestyle Session}

I was so blessed to have spent the afternoon with this family. They laugh, they joke, and they love each other beyond compare. I've never seen such loving, sweet, and affectionate adolescent boys. Which is a testament to the home they are being raised in. Nicolette is the baby of the family, and her older brothers couldn't love her or enjoy her more.

Thank you so much for opening your home and your hearts to me and giving me the privilege of documenting your life.

 

Surprise surprise.....

Shesha and Nikki have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their second child. Anjali, their beautiful and vivacious firstborn, has been so patient in waiting to find out if she is going to have a little brother or a little sister. 

Of course they couldn't just send a text message or make a phone call. What would be the fun in that? So we decided to do a little stylized shoot to tell the world which gender the next Marvin would be. 

And today, ladies and gentlemen, the Marvin family is proud to announce.....

 
 

 
 

Thank you so much, Marvins, for letting me be a part of this big announcement- can't wait to meet the little man!!!

Surprise! Let's go outside!

But seriously...

... why do babies smell so good??? :)

That glow. {Orange County Maternity Photography}

You know how they say pregnant women have a "glow"? Yeah, I didn't have that. I was uncomfortable, sick, tired, and all around yuck. With all three.

Dana, on the other hand, looks like a Roman goddess.

She's calm, serene, and she really does glow. It's like love is radiating from her, from the inside out. I hope I did her beauty justice in these images.

Love you, Dana- can't wait to see that little love bug you're growing in there.

  

 

 

 

 

 

Some family love.

Well, I know I am the world's worst blogger. I post images from about one in every 15 to 20 sessions. The ones I post are random, and I really do need to get more consistent, as Facebook just screws with the quality of the image. But here on the blog, you have the opportunity to see photos in all their glory!

The S family are friends of friends, in the swing dance scene, and feel like an extension of my own family. You know, that cousin who moved out of state that you spent that one really awesome summer with, and now email occasionally? It was like a reunion with that person. Familiar, joyful, and nothing but smiles.

Truly, not only are my clients bringing the serious cuteness these days, but they are styling themselves like pro models! I love these guys, their style, their vibe, their joy.

Thanks for a beautiful day at what is quickly becoming one of my favorite locations!
