Eaton Canyon Family Session // Spicer Family

One of the biggest compliments we receive is when our families refer their closest friends & family.  This is the case with Alison, Ian and her little guy Jack.  We had recently photographed an old friends baptism for her children (here) & she contacted us for photos of her own.

We are so grateful that she did as we had such a fun time with them.  We worked our way through Eaton Canyon & found the perfect little areas to capture some moments with her family.  It was great to be able to photograph Jack at the age that he is.  So independent, knowing exactly what he wants and doesn't, and just making look 2 again look so fun.  Although so may view this age as tough, we think it's still a milestone that shouldn't be forgotten.  

Alison, Ian & Jack, thanks so very much for taking the time out to spend with us.  You have such a beautiful family and we are truly grateful to have met you.  We look forward to seeing Jack continue to grow.  

Here are just a few of our favorites from our time together.  Enjoy!

Trabuco Canyon Family Session // Goley Family

There have been so many things in our lives to be thankful for and are grateful for God's blessings.  One of those many blessings is being part of such an amazing Church family.  We have found our home at Saddleback Church at The Grove in Anaheim.  This is where we met Pastor Jeremiah and his beautiful family. 

It must have been one of the most popular days to schedule sessions. There had to have been at least 30 different sessions going on, however, you wouldn't have been able to notice in our photos.  We had such a fun time.  

Thank you Jeremiah, Jen, Emma, Caleb and Hudson for such a great time and allowing Chris and I the opportunity to capture these awesome photos of your beautiful family.  Having had the opportunity to get to know you over bottomless fries, was just a bonus for us.  XOXO!

Palos Verdes Maternity Session // Dimple & Ravi

We met Ravi & Dimple on a beautiful Southern California Day, considering just this past weekend we were into the 90's in September.  Seeing Dimple, she looked amazing, there's nothing like the glow of pregnancy.  One of our most favorite things is capturing the connection between people - needless to say, the chemistry between Ravi & Dimple was infectious.  We could tell right away that Baby Murthi was on his way into a family of love.  

Throughout our time together we got to know our soon to be parents, hearing about how they met, how they began to date, it was such an amazing love story.  We had such a blast and can't wait to meet Baby Murthi in December.  

Ravi & Dimple, we can't thank you enough to allowing us to be part of your next chapter in life together.  You are both going to be amazing parents and Baby Murthi is one lucky little man.  We are beyond excited to meet him.  

Here are some of our favorite photos of our time together.  Enjoy!   

Surprise Announcement from the Ng Family // Pasadena Lifestyle Family Session

This is our 2nd year that we have had the blessing of photographing Roger, Carolyn and Audrey. Words could never express how special it is for Chris and I to be part of so many families throughout the years through photography.  Our families are not just clients, they become friends, they become part of our family.

When we met up with Roger, Carolyn and Audrey this year at Pasadena City Hall, we were excited to see them.  Audrey had surpassed so many milestones since our last session, not only is she walking now, but running.  She has her own little personality, she was so much fun.  She also had along with her a little surprise. As they walked toward us, I noticed Carolyn with a rolled poster.  During our pre-consultations, we are often asked if families can bring along props, or signs, and we are all for it.  Little did I know how special this sign was...

We were beyond thrilled to read that Audrey was going to be a BIG SISTER, and aside from close family, this was going to be their announcement of the BIG news.  Roger, Carolyn and Audrey, thanks so much for trusting in us to be part of so many special moments in your lives and we look forward to many more fun times together, and meeting your newest bundle of joy.  Audrey, your going to be an amazing big sister!

Enjoy some of our favorites from our session together.

Laguna Niguel Maternity Session // Expecting Baby Milo

We still remember meeting Mary & Jeremy for the first time at Disneyland for their engagement session.  We had such a blast with them!  Month's later we met them again along with their awesome friends & family to document their beautiful wedding day in Santa Barbara.  Fast forward to our session here in Laguna Niguel, now having the blessing of documenting yet another chapter in their awesome lives.  When Chris and I found out that Mary & Jeremy were expecting their new addition to their family, we were excited beyond words.  We hope you enjoy these images as much as we do!  Congrats again to you both, Mary & Jeremy, we can't wait to meet Baby Milo!
