McDonald Family - Dana Point, CA {Lifestyle + Family}
- You can pretty much taste the sweetness in this family session. The McDonalds were such a fun family to capture.

The kids were all so sweet a[...]

Introducing Baby Mackenzie - Ladera Ranch, CA {Newborn, Family + Lifestyle}
- I had not realized how long it had been since I have done a newborn shoot until last week. I forget all the feels I get - seeing teeny tiny feet and sleepy little darlings.

Applebee Family - Laguna Beach, CA {Family + Lifestyle}
