Family Session- San Juan Capistrano

Out in the open. 

I'm such a sucker for a Mama and her baby. These two are twins!

**Disclaimer: Sorry these pictures just don't turn out as vibrant on the web. When you click on the picture to make it bigger you can see that there is much more color and sharpness. 

Turning 1...

never looked so adorable. This little one is seriously too cute for words. I couldn't get enough of her big brown eyes and that big floral skirt.

Out in the Orchard

Are these kids adorable or what! 

I couldn't get over them and their cute little outfits.

Especially those little boys with the suits on.

Priceless.  

Enjoy!

Jordy

This little one isn't so little anymore is she? Where does the time go? And if only I could have those eyes.

Me Oh My

I recently took pictures for my sister in law, who just so happens to have one of the best blogs around. She featured a few pictures I took of her and my precious niece. 

Click here to check them out. 

I'm only posting a few because I don't want to ruin her Christmas Cards.

Love these! 

Check out me oh my for weekly inspiration.

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.

Another Mini Session success. This family is one of my favorites. So easy to shoot and fun to hang out with. The kids didn't really want their pictures taken so I took a "life style" approach to this shoot. Not too many pictures sitting and smiling. Just tons of them being a family and loving on each other. I also got to meet their newest addition, who is fitting in just perfectly. I love the last shot of him and his Dad. Too sweet.

 I had to add this picture below. I am loving this effect right now. I can't put my finger on why, but I like it and had to share.

Taking family pictures may seem very intimidating and grueling to most men. I've never been able to get a straight answer out of any man, but I am starting to think it's because they just think it's lame... and even though they might never admit it, they're a little embarrassed or even shy. Nonetheless, every time I get a client who claims their husband sooo did not want to get pictures taken, ends up thanking me with the end result. It never fails, after the fact, they always realize how special that moment was and are thankful they did it.

Danny so did not want his picture taken, I'm hoping to prove to him these pictures were all worth it. Hopefully he will thank his wife later or maybe even give her a....

smooch.

The " Yurky's"

I love this family and all the fun we had during this shoot. It was raining most of the time... over cast and ugly skies, but you can't even tell by looking at the pictures. They had such a blast and the kids were totally excited to be playing in the rain.

I have a ton of pictures to edit. These mini sessions are giving me a run for my money. Thank you to all you wonderful clients who make all this possible for me.

PS. Not sure what happens when I upload pictures to blogger, but all my picture come out so dull. In real life they are a lot more crisp and have way better color. Just a little side note, because it drives me crazy!

Cousins

These two play together so well. I loved watching my little guy sit there, ever so patiently, while Pres painted his face. I love playdates and they love making messes, but as long as their happy then so am I.

Char + her family

This little lovely just turned 3. I have been taking pictures of her Family since the day before she was born (her mom went into labor the day after her maternity session)

This family is so much fun and I absolutely love spending time with them and getting to know their kids. I enjoy my job so much, so when I make friends while doing it, it makes taking pictures that much better.

Easter Sunday

Easter was great for us. I hope you had fun with you and yours!

My Loves

I made these LOVE pictures for the grandparents on Valentines day. It was super easy adding the LOVE. I just added it in photoshop with a text I got from UrbanFonts.com. Then with the paint brush I added the little squiggles on the sides. There you have it, a perfect card for your special someone.
