Quiroz Family. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

Vanessa and her handsome family of four couldn’t have made my afternoon any better that day at their session. First off their boys were not only looking so fresh and so clean, but had perfect side combs, matching bow ties, and sweet smiles to go along with their entertaining personalities. Vanessa and I have followed one another on Instgram for a while now so it was pretty awesome to finally meet her hot mama self and family in person. You know it’s funny how we think we know how a person’s day is going by viewing their lives on one tiny square shaped photos on a small screen day in and day out, but to meet real live people and their families in person is just so much better! I got to joke around and play “competition” games with the Quiroz boys and I might have had even more fun then them (I’m just sayin’)! Now let’s talk about how smoking hot Vanessa and her hubby looked together all decked out in black. Too good! Oh and her necklace, ya I think I might want that on my Christmas list (a-hem hope my hubby is reading this). Thank you Quiroz family for allowing me to meet your adorable family in person and hang out with you guys for a couple of hours. 2014-11-24_00012014-11-24_00032014-11-24_00042014-11-24_00052014-11-24_00062014-11-24_00072014-11-24_00432014-11-24_00092014-11-24_00102014-11-24_00112014-11-24_00122014-11-24_00132014-11-24_00142014-11-24_00152014-11-24_00162014-11-24_00172014-11-24_00182014-11-24_00192014-11-24_00202014-11-24_00212014-11-24_00222014-11-24_00232014-11-24_00242014-11-24_00252014-11-24_00262014-11-24_00272014-11-24_00282014-11-24_00292014-11-24_00302014-11-24_00312014-11-24_00322014-11-24_00332014-11-24_00342014-11-24_00352014-11-24_00362014-11-24_00372014-11-24_00442014-11-24_00392014-11-24_00402014-11-24_00412014-11-24_0042

McCarty Family. Family. Los Angeles Family Photographer.

Life is the journey you create with your loved ones. You can watch them pass by within a blink of an eye or you can embrace every second and enjoy each moment. Either way I am here because I want to help you capture your family as a timeless piece of art. I want to photograph a true tender touch, the gleam in your child’s eye, and the way you embrace each member of your family. I’m here to document your growing love in every form and every stage. Sometimes, like myself, people get carried away in the perfect pose and Christmas card image. And of course, don’t get me wrong, I love me an awesome Christmas Card photo! That’s why I do my Minis. But the way I see it is to find beauty in an image is to do it creatively, artistically and with the most genuine interactions. I’ve learned that babies, children, and just people in general grow in significant amounts in such little time. So, my favorite time with my family is the present. When you are in front of my lens I want to show that right there at that moment, those unique stages in your family’s lives is your favorite time.

I couldn’t have asked for better families to represent their favorite times in front of my camera. I had the pleasure once again to photograph the sweet and curious McCarty family. Last year their daughter Abigail and twins just stole my heart and this year they stole my breath (almost literally). I was chasing these three pretties all over the Arboretum and I had the best time doing it! As a parent and photographer my view, in photos, have changed a bit. My favorite shots are the ones where children are just having fun and loving one another. You’ll see that in the McCarty’s photos. Facial structures change. Last year the McCarty twins were a little over six months and they had big bright eyes, gummy gums, and absolutely very minimal hair. At this stage (a little over a year and some months) they are full on, pig-tail wearing, teeth-smiling, toddlers. And their dear big sister Abigail has grown a bit too. Here eyes have changed colors a tad but her sweet smile stays the same. Here is the McCarty’s and their daily journey in love and life with a big sister and twin toddlers.

Arlene, Anthony & Baby Jacob. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

Sometimes I want to just squeeze my clients to pieces. I tend to become a little overwhelmed with happiness and get all mushy inside when I look at my inbox and see a request for another session from one of my previous clients. This my friends, I think, is the ultimate compliment. It’s when you know they like your work and maybe you (just a little bit). So here we are. I am photographing Arlene, Anthony and now one-year old baby Jacob. Time just keeps marching on and I love to watch my families grow. Take a looksies at Jacob’s adorable big bright blue eyes and his blondie hair. I remember he was such a tough guy during his newborn session and really tested my limits, but the aftermath was all worth it! And now, he’s an even more adorable toddler just full of smiles and the funniest faces you ever did see! Arlene and Anthony I’m so ready for you guys to have another one so I can keep photographing your beautiful family (oh did I type that hee he)!

Oh and also check out the latest first birthday item that Arlene ordered from Etsy. They are super cool chalkboard-like poster boards with all the neat things Jacob can do and what he likes. Also, I love balloons, thanks Arlene for being so cute and bringing them along.2014-10-21_00012014-10-21_00022014-10-21_00032014-10-21_00042014-10-21_00052014-10-21_00062014-10-21_00072014-10-21_00082014-10-21_00092014-10-21_00102014-10-21_00112014-10-21_00122014-10-21_00132014-10-21_00142014-10-21_00152014-10-21_00162014-10-21_00172014-10-21_00182014-10-21_00192014-10-21_00202014-10-21_00212014-10-21_00222014-10-21_00232014-10-21_00242014-10-21_00252014-10-21_00262014-10-21_00272014-10-21_00282014-10-21_00292014-10-21_00302014-10-21_00312014-10-21_00322014-10-21_00332014-10-21_00342014-10-21_00352014-10-21_00362014-10-21_0037

Toapanta Family. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

The Toapanta family got together to celebrate a beautiful woman and her life as a wife, mother, and now grandmother. If you ask me Lorraine doesn’t look a day over forty and that’s all anyone needs to know about how many candles she had on her cake this year. Christina, her eldest daughter, had shared with me at her recent maternity session that her and her family wanted to surprise their mom with some birthday photos. First off I love birthdays and then photo session surprises are even more of a treat! I was excited to reconnect (the Topanta sister’s and I went to high school together…go Tigers!) with their sweet sweet as can be family. Lorraine couldn’t thank me enough for the wonderful surprise. It was really all Mr. T’s (so cool, right?) and his family’s idea. I was just there to document that love that bonds families together. All I could think of was, wow you look exactly how I remember at all of our track meets. I was going to say how lovely all the Toapanta women are, but they aren’t all Topantas anymore. They’ve grown up and now are married. On top of that their baby brother isn’t such a baby anymore either! He’s one handsome young man and his girlfriend also came to join in on the festivities. What a perfect bunch!

So here’s to a beautiful happy birthday photo session for Lorraine! I wish you many many more candles on that birthday cake and a bundle more grandchildren (because this first one is just a doll) as well!
