the leslie family. what a pleasure to shoot their adorable family. brie and i work together and you may remember her cute daughter lauren from her surprise (for daddy) father's day shoot. we met on a brisk and windy morning in dana point harbor and we simply just had fun with this shoot. the whole fam, jason, brie, lauren and lambo the family dog were so easy and willing to play and pose for the camera.  thanks you guys! enjoy!

well, as i said in my last post...it's family portrait season! here's another family session of the super fun Franklin family. you may remember seeing these kids in another shoot i did for Father's Day. well, this time it was the whole family and sarah had the idea to bring some really unique pumpkins and i think it's awesome to have a fall themed photo. the back hills of Ladera seemed like a good match for the fall theme. enjoy.

sarah was kind enough to let me do some test shots...she rocked it.

the ebel family. so sweet, so warm, so awesome, so rocked this photoshoot!

about a month ago i had the pleasure of doing a fun family session with seth, vanessa and their adrorable son jude in downtown san clemente. (one of my new favorite places to shoot) the ebels are new friends of mine and i felt so blessed to be able to capture some fun images of this young family. after looking at all the images i realized we shot SOOOO many pictures in soooo many different locations which made it really hard to narrow it down to a few images to share... so, i shared a lot.

thanks again to seth, vanessa and jude for trying anything i pretty much asked them to do... and walking from the top of Del Mar to the pier and back again. enjoy. :)

ps - A LOT of family shoots headed to the blog soon... it's that time of year.
