Julie: Long Beach Maternity Session

A BOY ON THE WAY

What a cute little fam! And Julie!!! She's one hot mama! She's also definitely outnumbered now with all those boys! We met up in Long Beach at one of their favorite parks before her baby shower. They were flustered for a second because it felt like nothing was going as planned - she ran a little late and forgot all the props she had wanted to bring, but hey it happens! We didn't let those things ruin the shoot. Instead we made the most of what we had and wound up with some beautiful photos!

Grandpa's 90th: Montage Laguna Beach

A BEACHFRONT 90TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

OH MY WORD! Are they not the sweetest family? I was beyond stoked when Ryan texted me asking if I was available to photograph his grandpa's 90th birthday celebration at Montage. His family all came down and celebrated their awesome grandpa! He was the sweetest thing, as was his entire family. They made me feel so welcome, like I was part of the celebration rather than solely there to photograph the event. I'm so blessed to work with incredible people like this family!

Channing + Jeff: Joshua Tree Maternity

A SUNRISE MATERNITY SESSION IN JOSHUA TREE

OH THESE TWO -- oh wait THREE! I loved meeting Channing and Jeff in Joshua Tree. It was pretty cold and we were all up extremely early, but they made the best of it! They even got into yoga poses and Channing had no problem climbing and crawling on rocks and boulders at 32 weeks pregnant. It was a blast!!

Krystal: Orange County Family Session

A MOM + DAUGHTER SESSION

Krystal is so awesome! She needed some head shots for her company. She wanted them to be natural, candid and outdoor. She wanted to look professional, but also like a mom, doing things a mom would do, like taking her daughter to the park. We made sure to snag some shots with her little one, too!

Ariana + Isaacs: Central Park Family

A FAMILY WALK IN CENTRAL PARK

How cute is this family?! Look at that baby's smile!! Little Isaac jr. I met up with Ariana and the Isaacs in Central Park for a quick family session. We wandered around and had some good laughs. Isaac Jr. was laughing the entire time! And I just love the blues!! - they really pop with the green of Central Park.
