When love and beauty collide...
A beautiful beach, a beautiful sunset, a beautiful bride....
What more could you ask for?
The clouds parted and a warm orange sunset broke over the ocean just before they kissed as man and wife. I don't know who you have coordinating the weather for your wedding, girl, but they came through. ;)

Congratulations to Michelle and Josh (and Alyssa).
May your marriage be as beautiful as your wedding.

Holiday Mini Sessions!!!
Well, since we now have the studio as an option for portraits, I decided to offer TWO different Mini-Session days! One beach day for those who want a casual California-cool setting, and one studio day for those who want a more traditional and formal feel for their family portraits.
We're doing these in October this year, so you have plenty of time to get your prints and/or cards ordered and mailed. And luckily for us, the beautiful California climate stays beach-worthy long after Halloween!
Not only am I offering two location options, but I'm also offering two package options for each location! There's one basic package that includes the session, an online proofing gallery, and a cd of all your edited images, and there's also a more deluxe package that includes all that PLUS an 8x10 professional print and 25 CUSTOM DESIGNED holiday cards!
Can't wait for these- they're gonna be GORGEOUS. :)
(Beach location will be announced closer to the Session Date.)

Little A Mini Session
This guy. I mean, seriously.
He wasn't really that interested in the hat I brought for him, or any other things I had. He just wanted to feel the sand, walk towards the water, and look handsome.
He's a sweetheart, a cutie, a heartbreaker. He's our cousin's little joy. And you can see why.

The L Family Mini-Session
How am I so lucky to get the best looking families to photograph? Good genes, I guess. (she's related to my husband! :) )
These guys showed up, took a minute to primp, and were ready to go. All except little Max. He was NOT. HAVING. IT. The thing about shooting a family with four kids is, you have to build that in. The margin for angry faces, closed eyes, tongues sticking out, and general silliness increases significantly. There was a point where the two boys decided to demolish the sandcastle my brother had made earlier in the day. It was hilarious to watch! Anyway, we did our best with Max, and luckily, even though he was clearly not in the mood, everyone else was happy, smiling, gorgeous, and ready.

Come on, Max!!!
Sister, Sister (Mini-Session)
These girls crack me up. They are the biggest Angels fans, best friends, sisters, and their dynamic was overwhelming. Not only did they sign up for the Mini-Sessions to take sister photos, but they showed up with THREE COSTUME CHANGES. At the BEACH.
Yeah.
I love that they wanted sister photos done- I'm doing so many family sessions, it never really crossed mymind to do a sibling-only session. I told them when they arrived: there's a fine line when shooting sisters. It can lean towards either sweet, sisterly love or lesbian couple. I think we achieved the former.
One sister was quiet and reserved, the other was America's Next Top Model. You decide which was which.

The S Family Mini-Session
This family was just TOO GORGEOUS. Okay, I may be a little biased since I found out their daughter shares my daughter's name. But I mean, come on. Let's be honest here. This family could model.
R, Year 4
This guy is so sweet. His 4th birthday is next week, and the kid could not be more excited. (Check back for photos of that party next weekend!) I can't remember the last time I saw a little boy who smiled so sweet or posed so well. Just love him. He came to take some photos for his birthday, but ended up running around in the water with my assistant the entire time! Who would have imagined that this was the boy who was so apprehensive about sand that his aunt had to lay towels down as a path just to get him onto the beach!? Luckily I got some good shots before he decided to play, because he was chasing waves, throwing rocks in the surf, generally having a blast and refusing to sit still! And I loved watching every second of it!
Happy Birthday, Little Man.
M Family Mini Sessions
The M Family was my first family of the day (after a 10:00 no-show). These guys came relaxed and ready. Through the whole session, Garrett (much to his older sister's chagrin) was cracking up, goofing off, and generally having a ball. I loved it. It was a great way to break in the day. They were up for anything, and I think we got some really great family images. You can tell by these photos that these guys love each other. Enjoy!
