Laguna beach Family Portrait: Birthdays and Fall Leaves

Right now, & these last few weeks, is the most beautiful time for natural, warm light of the year.  Each morning, I take just a moment to truely appreciate the crisp sailboat blue ocean and the white puffy clouds in the sky (granted that is when the mornings are not overcast).  I love shooting this time a year because I feel I have more time to spend with families and my creative muscles need a good stretching.  Though these were shot in 2013, I still love both the light in my studio and in the field just a few blocks away.  Not to mention that this beautiful family is always a pleasure to work with and the kiddos are always dressed to the nines (Mom and Dad look pretty great as well)!  Enjoy!
