A Little Bit of Family Time with the David Family // Los Angeles, California

I am sure her beautiful smile looks familiar, you are right, it's the gorgeous Desiree.  I had the opportunity to capture some images of her at our MAMCF photo session earlier in the year.  If you have the chance, check out her blog post here.  

I was super excited with each email Deigh and I exchanged regarding plans for our family session together.  Even more so when we arrived at LACMA the day of.  

Chris and I have a super fun time with Paul, Desiree and their adorable little girl, Chloe.  Although a bit camera shy, we were able to capture the love the David family shares for one another, there is no doubt about that.  

As Desiree continues to inspire so many of us with her determination, drive and positive attitude when it comes to kicking cancer's butt, it's her genuine love for her family that sees her through.  Desiree was recently featured on Asian Journal, be sure to stop by and get to know more about her. Paul is such a fun, caring, loving husband, daddy and friend - another inspiration and shares his support and love to those fighting alongside loved ones through The Sitting Daddy Project.  

Desiree, Paul and Chloe, we are so blessed to call you friends and look forward to continuing to fight alongside you.  Your family inspires us in so many ways, thank you.  XOXO! 

So Lucky to Call Them Friends // Santa Monica, California

It was over an email that Yun and I became instant friends.  For those of you that don't know, Yun and Kevin are the creative duo behind The Grunion Run Groomsmen Shop. It was over email that we discussed collaborating together and we were blessed to become friends.  I still remember our first meeting at The Pie Hole, now of course dubbed as 'our place'. So many things came from our first meeting, our styled session for their website, an amazing friendship and great pie!  Who could ask for more?

Needless to say when Yun asked if we would take family photos this year, we were excited, to say the least.  Their daughter Yuki is so loveable, her smile and laugh are contagious.  

Yun, Kevin and Yuki, thanks again for allowing us to take part in these special moments and we are so lucky to call you friends.  We look forward to spending time together again real soon - we still need to have our udon time together.

Beautiful Outdoor Family Portraits // Tabares Family

It's been such a blessing to have captured so many beautiful families.  We want to introduce you to the Tabares Family.  One of many families that our beloved La has introduced us to over the past year. Claire had just given birth to Sydney when we had our We HEART La Benefit, November 2012, and wasn't able to have her photos taken. Fast forward one year later, we were excited to meet and get to know Claire, Oliver and Sydney.  

When Claire & I were finalizing our session together, she had mentioned that she wanted our session at a location with beautiful golden trees that represented the season's changing.  We found a location perfect for this.  We had such a wonderful time together, we laughed almost the entire session.  

Claire and Oliver, we look forward to taking some time to hang out at Disneyland with you guys soon.  We are so blessed to be able to see Sydney continue to grow into a beautiful little lady.
