It’s been almost 2 years since I had a photoshoot with The McDonald Family. It was so great to see them and see how big the kids were getting. We opted for a forrest type shoot this year and  caught the perfect light. Below are a few of my favorites.

I just love these kids. My kids love these kids. It was so fun to photograph The Swanson kids at Salt Creek the other day. We took advantage of the cloudy weather (it’s been so cloudy here for months) so we could have an earlier session. Even though it was cloudy, it was still a lovely day running along our beautiful coastline. Here are just a few of my favorites.

God Bless Emma + Olivia on their First Holy Communion.

I was so pleased to meet Blaize and his mom to capture such an important time in his life. Apparently at the last minute, he made the decision to attend SMU! Wishing Blaize all the luck in his new life as a college student! Go Mustangs!

Give me a newborn baby, a new mother in a soft white gown and some white curtains near a sunny window – and I’m a happy photographer! I have been anticipating the arrival of this sweet baby girl! Seems like it was just yesterday and we were walking barefoot along the beach in Laguna for Amanda’s maternity shoot. There were so many sweet moments during our shoot and I had a really hard time narrowing down some favorites. Below is a glimpse into our day together. Congratulations to your newest and sweetest addition!

Just mere days after Lindsay’s maternity shoot, Baby Denim made an early appearance. This sweet boy came into this world just before the holidays. I was so excited to finally meet this little guy and see his sweet face for myself. It was a rainy California day, but it was all smiles and sunshine inside. So excited for this family’s new chapter in life and cannot wait to see this little dude grow! Here are just a few of my favorites from our session.

I love a good hot cocoa and pj family session! I have been lucky enough to work with The Smith Family every winter and watching their little guy grow. We switched it up a bit this year and did a cozy little session at their home. As much as I love a good beach session, I find home session to be so sweet. Here are just a few from our time together!

I am literally obsessed with this family! Not only because they are my very close friends, but look how stinkin’ cute they are! I have really loved capturing the growth of this family. From graduations to a new formed family– I love being at their side for every step of it. Lindsay’s idea of bringing In-N-Out as part of the session was everything! It was so fun and playful! Pregnancy cravings are real and capturing her love of In-N-Out was just perfect! Scroll down to see some of my favorites!
