I love when high schooler’s want more than what the school offers you for your senior photos.

Here in  Ca I dont see TOO much of it as it is not real popular as much as the mid west and east coast.

I LOVE to photograph the older kids. Should I say kids… Being that they are almost adults.

Especially booking for the boy shoots which seems to be more the girls… But why is that?

I know that I will certainly want to capture that time of my son or daughter’s life… going off to college.

  Good choice mom! I loved this shoot and was so happy to get to document this special time for you all!

They asked me for country.. well there are not that many places around so cal that are “country” looking.

So I mentioned that there was a spot I was eyeing but that I was not sure what it really looked like but lets take a chance.

Well I will say it was a good chance we took. Great spot and I will for sure use again. We all loved the white fence and if you

walk a bit further there is some beautiful trees and grasses.

So here id for a lil country in the city!

I was so happy to get to see them again… how loved this little girl is…

Thank you so much K family… can’t wait to show you ALL of them!

Everyday I thank God that he allows me to continue to do what I love.

For loyal clients who come back to me. I know that this market is saturated and that there are tons of photographers out there…

But they choose me… I am not going to go on and on about why… but I will say I truly hope that each of you feel the love that I put into what I do.

I cant get over how cute he is… this sweet lil one! Mommy says “didn’t I just see you not that long ago for his newborn photos?”  YEP! you did!

Well he has changed a bit… blonde hair and trying to walk and talk.

here he was about 1 year ago….

can it be???

Mom you look just as beautiful then as you do now…

I cant wait for baby #2 someday!!!

I know how exciting it is to bring home your little girl and then less than a year later you find out your expecting a boy!!!

The challenge you have with 2 babies under 2 in diapers is hard… however SO rewarding as they grow.

One of each. So thrilling to get to experience raising a daughter and a son. Both SO different.

I just Love this family shot… if you knew the background of how much time it took to get them ALL together well I think this just speaks for itself.

Family… together doing what they do normally. BIG sister was NOT going to have it ANY other way!

I love this family… once again was it not last week we were photographing BIG sister???

Whew… where has the time gone?

{look at that sweet heart with her hands}

You know I LOVE it so much when I get to be a part of watching a family grow like this.

Seems like yesterday I was there photographing big brother as a brand new baby.

 I know we always say “where does the time go?” But really it hit me hard the other day as I looked at my own children.

{I dont like to think about it.}  I don’t like that they have to grow so fast. Seems like last week school started and now its ending.

Embrace everyday that you think about, how time goes by and just sit with them… so what if the laundry piles up or the dishes need done.

Step over the laundry to sit and draw with them… ignore the dishes and go blow bubbles.

I tell you time does not keep them.

Not only a friend but the best darn softball coach ever!

I just love this family and love to hang out with them

I am so happy the we finally booked this shoot and actually did it!  I know that you will be so happy you did and cherish these photos for a lifetime!

I cant tell you how much we ( the Kim family ) love you and all the great memories we have with you.

xoxox

What a great night. The light, the weather, and of course the company.

I can’t wait till you come back C family… This next time we have to hang out

I hope that I captured you in a way that will bring you memories and smiles for a lifetime.

I know that there were so many I wanted to put up here, that I just loved.

You are ALL so beautiful inside and out.

xoxo

COLD and windy night it was for sure… but not one of these sweet kids complained… {I know mine would have!!!}

Troopers I tell you I love this that they chose to shoot the family photos in their back yard. This is their home and it meant a lot to them.

I love the light this time of day coming thru the pier. The low tides, and the beautiful sunsets.

Here is to Seal Beach and all the fondness you have for the city you love and live.

you all looked so GREAT in your bright colors… I love it when I tell my clients to choose what you love to wear and they show up

so fabulous! Thank you for a great night and your support to our AWESOME schools we have here!

Family is all that…. LOVE.

Caterpillars were the highlight of the evening… first we were just going to take some home for my son,

Then the few turned into a few too many so they had to take some home too.

To our surprise these fuzzy things are really moths. Moths need love too right?

OH what a gorgeous evening… filled with fun running all round the hills of OC.

Can you believe this is actually OC? Seems to me so sound of music-ish in our urban cities.

Thank you to the beautiful family (who are also our friends)…. who were way over due for this shoot!

I hope you LOVE them

Years ago… this is all everyone wanted. The classic studio shoot that is just that classic “classy”.

Now for the last 4 years it has been location shooting. Almost never do clients want that studio shoot look with a whole family.

I miss doing this. I hope that with my new huge studio location I can see more of this style of shoots!

This is something that is not “trendy” and never ever dates itself.

HMMMM…. lets see where this goes? You know that everything makes its rounds right?
