the fun zone....

We took it to the zone, the "fun zone".... and ate lots of sweeeeets... :) but so worth it....

I had the privilege of meeting this family for the first time in Balboa beach at the fun zone... Just where every kid can just be a kid.
Heck!, the parents can be kid's too...... I know I am when I am there... :)

I grabbed a few portraits and let them go to town on all the sweet treats.... I think they were actually pretty happy taking pictures with all the overload on sugar... Ha!...

here is a mini peek of our afternoon...












G.

another party of five....

Meet the Mc "C" family.... another fun family of five... We met at prospect park in Redlands to give them a whole lot of green in their session.... they said they wanted more of a tropical feel, I said Hawaii.. they weren't buying it.. darn... Jk.. so we opted for Redlands... just as beautiful, right?... ;)

It is really fun to photograph these ages because they will tell you exactly what poses "they" want.. I loved it... no pressure...Ha!

I know they are anxiously awaiting to see "their" poses.. :), so here is a sneak peek for now...

Enjoy...

Party of Five.....

and it would seem like a party hanging out with this family all the time.. Oh! the fun....
I met this awesome family in downtown Seal Beach.. a favorite family spot where they hang out often.. So it was fitting we do the session right where the kids felt the most comfortable... Rolling in the grass, swinging from trees, eating sweets and hopping trains.. HA!

I know I say this all the time.. and here it is again.. but I feel so lucky to meet the most wonderful people through this thing called a "job"... Look at my "office" space and the company I keep.. pretty sweet,huh.....;)

Thanks guys for another wonderful afternoon. It was a pleasure hanging out with you and spending time with your beautiful children.....

Here is just a sample of many more to come your way... Enjoy...

Look Mom.. I'm ALMOST walking...

I had the privilege to photograph this beautiful family while they were here vacationing in sunny So. Cal from Washington D.C..... We made arrangements via e-mail and phone.. and I knew off the bat.. I was going to love this family...

We met at their hotel.. The Disneyland Hotel.. and I just knew this was going to be a fun one... C'mon... with Mickey close by... it had to be fun...:)

Little Miss "E', not quite walking, but that sure did not stop her from being the world's fastest traveler on her little knees...

Boy.. she was a fast one. I had a hard time keeping up with her... ;) but it sure was fun trying...

here is just a mini sneak peek from our afternoon...

Look mom.. I'm on all 10 toes...;)



see! I told you she's pretty fast.... :)






little miss "E" had many fans when we were doing these shots... aaaah... :)
