Maya's a Big Sister! // Milly's Newborn Session
Walnut Family Portraits // Documenting the Chavez Family
Our first session of 2015 was the beautiful Chavez family. Some of the greatest moments in being a photographer are those times when documenting families of multiple generations. When Anna contacted me to have her family portraits taken, she wanted to be sure to share how important these photos were to her, which included having her husband, 3 gorgeous daughters, her son-in-law and 2 most adorable grandchildren.
As with many of us, our family members live or go to school out of state, and that was the case here. We only had a small window of opportunity to schedule our session together as Anna's youngest daughter was going to be flying back out of state. We are still so excited that everything worked out perfect!
Anna, we want to thank you again for allowing us to document the love and connection you and your family shared with us. You have a beautiful family, and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Grow With Me Session // Dominic turns 7 months
Los Angeles Family Portraits // Speirs Family
We had the opportunity to spend some time with the beautiful Speirs Family. I love it when you meet a family for the first time and have so much fun on the session that you become friends and it feels like we have known one another for years. This was exactly what happened with our session with Travis, Amy and their adorable daughter Harley. As most sessions begin, Harley was a little shy and surely wasn't sure about the lady calling her name & making faces behind a camera. As we spent a bit more time together, Harley's playful and loving personality shined naturally and we became the best of friends.
The above photo has got to be one of my most favorites. We asked the amazing family to take a short stroll together, as Chris and I stayed back a bit to capture their moments together, Harley looked back at me and said "C'mon, let's go!" as she told her mommy that she wanted me to come along. My heart melts as this image takes me back each time to her beautiful and contagious laughter, as a carefree little princess.
Travis, Amy and Harley, words cannot express how grateful we are to have been able to capture moments with your beautiful family. We look forward to seeing Harley continue to grow more and more beautifully and hope we can see one another real soon.
Harley, you + me = hide and seek friends forever.
Celebrating Milestones // Maya turns 2 & family session Part 1
You may remember, Glenn, Mariko and their adorable little princess, Maya from their session with us last year. We are always so very grateful to be part of so many milestone's in our families lives.
It's hard to believe that almost exactly this time last year, Maya had only taken a few steps on her own, to seeing her now, so independent. One thing definitely remains, her LOVE of books. We loved watching her want to read her 10 little ducks book with daddy, and right after the last page was finished, she turned to mommy to have her read it again. So attentive, she would glance up to be sure that mommy and daddy were paying attention as well. She's such a smart little cookie, counting each duck, with her adorable little fingers pointing to each one.
Glenn, Mari and Maya, thanks so much for allowing us to take part in such special moments in your lives. We look forward to many more to come and be able to see Maya continue to grow into an amazing lady.
You are probably wondering, why part 1? Well, why not?! Truth be told, there were too many great images that we captured, we needed to split their session into 2.
We would love for you to take a moment to look over only some of our favorite images from their session and be sure to comment on which image you love most and why?
