Beach Maternity Shoot Preview

These pictures turned out stunning. One of the most gorgeous pregnant ladies I've seen. Glad we took these when we did because her sweet baby came right after this shoot... 4 weeks Early!!

L + A = baby on the way

I've known Lauren for as long as she has been alive. Our parents have been friends since long before we were even born. So in a way we grew up together. Now we are both married and working on families of our own. She is married to an awesome guy who is a hero in so many ways. Not to mention he has a purple heart from the Army and has some serious scars to show for it. They have already delivered their special little boy and have been loving him up. I'm so proud of Lauren and all that she has accomplished. Congratulations you two.

Down to the Harbor

I love love loved this shoot.  

Every year we try to come up with something "different".

Reny totally nailed it. 

They love the beach, and kayaking has become one of their favorite things to do. So we headed down to the harbor to where they keep their kayak and shot there. 

It couldn't have been more perfect or more beautiful. I loved all the colors and different backdrops. 

 These pictures are too cute of Mommy and Daughter.

There are so many pictures to choose from so I only picked a few. I love working with this family each year for their Christmas pictures. They always keep me on my feet, and Reny is so creative it makes it really fun.

Laguna Beach Family Session

 

Sometimes all you need is one picture to sum up a session. 

Love this shot.

Beachside in Oceanside

After a few weeks or so of emailing, cancellations, bad weather, and an ugly red tide we decided to take a chance and just go for it. The weather was perfect. It was the first non foggy late afternoon in what seemed like forever, and the red tide wasn't too bad at all. I'm glad we finally got together, and I love how this family's pictures turned out. I loved their Nautical attire. Too cute. Only a few as to not ruin any possible christmas pictures.

E+A

These 2 cuties joined me at the Pier to get some pictures for dad before he leaves, he's in the military. They are absolutely adorable and fun to play around with. Emily kept me laughing, she pretneded to be a dog for the first part of the shoot, then we had to bribe her for the last half of the shoot. It was worth it though. They got some great pictures. 

He didn't know I snapped this picture. . . 

Thanks Paula for being such a stud with your two kids.
