I always love it when I get the chance to photograph a family that I know personally.  This fabulous family is local to Laguna Beach!  Unfortunately, we did not have much beach to work with, because the tide was coming it, but we still managed to get some beautiful family images.  Four kids can be kind of challenging, but these four were fantastic (although the baby was definitely a moving target)!  Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your family for this holiday season!  I had an awesome time with all of you!

There have been so few beautiful evenings at the beach this year!  We were so fortunate on this particular evening.  The weather was beautiful, there were just a few people on the beach and this beautiful family was up for anything!  Mom and Dad have some excellent genes cause these kids are GORGEOUS!  I love the how you can just see how much everyone loves each other in every image.  I have to admit though, the crazy images are my favorite!  Enjoy!

I love photographing several generations of a family.  This session was for “someone’s” 70th birthday.  I know, I know, there doesn’t look like there is anyone in these images that is close to 70!   Believe it or not, this was a very crowded day down at the beach.  The entire family was good sports about having an audience while we did their session.    The two little girls were so sweet and just loved being silly for the camera!  Enjoy!

Every year we get together with the Cronins and the Martins for a little craziness and this year did not disappoint!  I had checked the tide charts and knew we had to hurry if we wanted to catch a few images with the “castle” background!  I told all the kids to run over quick and get together.  On the way to the sandy spot, a wave came out of nowhere and pretty much soaked everyone!  I am so glad that no one got upset and just went with it.  I am so sorry that a few pair of shoes got ruined, but everyone kept smiling.  Each year with these kids is more fun for me.  I love to see how they are growing into individuals with different senses of humor and personalities!  Thank you so much to everyone for being such great sports!

Weddings, families, seniors, oh my……. this has been a really fun, crazy, exciting couple of weeks.  I had such a great time with Jordan down at Victoria beach.  It is always great when a guy is up for anything and Jordan fit the bill.  He got a little lost, and was having car trouble, but managed to have a great attitude!  I guess any day on the beach is a good day.  Not only did we get some great images, but we hired Jordan to help as an assistant during our busy holiday season.  I am sure you will see lots of him down on the beach with Anna or myself!  Enjoy!
