Family Fun at Central Park

What a pleasure it was to get together with two of my very special, long time friends and have some fun gathering and tossing fallen leaves, chasing ducks, climbing trees, and playing, "Wee" on the playground. Such a gorgeous, photogenic family with the most well-mannered little boy and cute-as-a-button spitfire little girl! How blessed you are to have such beautiful children! Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them! (Check out the 3rd picture - we caught a flock of birds flying behind you!) Hugs to you all!

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

What an amazing birthday party I had the pleasure of photographing on Saturday! The birthday girl was all dressed up as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and to her surprise the real Dorothy and Scarecrow showed up for some games, face painting, and fun! Along with a bounce house, great food, and all her friends, I think Brianna had a wonderful time at her party. (The video takes a few minutes to load, so click play, go grab some coffee, and come back to see the show! The first 10 seconds are just music - the photos start at 11 seconds - enjoy!)

A Beautiful Morning at Mission Inn

Today, I had the pleasure of photographing my dear friend and her beautiful family of boys. We walked all around the historic Mission Inn and here are some of my favorite shots from the day. Thanks again, Dena, for allowing me to be a part of some family fun today!

A Race Against the Sun

I was so blessed this weekend to meet and photograph the most fun-loving, easy-going, beautiful family. We arranged to take late afternoon pictures at Crystal Cove expecting bright warm sun and blue skies, but nature had another plan for us - a thick marine layer and a quickly disappearing sliver of sunlight. Despite the unexpected weather, we sure had fun! Thanks again, Michele, for inviting me to spend some time with you and your wonderful family. Hope you enjoy this sneak peek!
