Quite often I’m asked by parents to take a quick headshot during their family photo session. So, this is a date just for you! And it’s not just for adults…babies and kids are welcome at this event. If you’d like to update your kids’ yearly photos, this is your time!Read More
I found this park on Google Maps, just searching for wooded areas in Orange County! It’s such a magical spot, especially at sunset.
Sunset is the perfect time to do a session in the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park. The sun filters so pretty through the dry brush.
And we don’t have many rolling hills by the coast, so this place is extra special! During this session we explored the hills around Nix Nature Center and took so many photos!
I love this father-daughter session from Peck Park in San Pedro. I met this client when I did her newborn session. And the last few times I’ve held mini-sessions, she booked one for her mom and then this one with her dad.
We timed the light perfectly for this session at Corona Del Mar. The family was moving out of state, so it was the perfect parting gift!
I typically start out a session with posed photos. Kids (and parents!) are still warming up to me, so this is a great time for more static images. Even though I say posed, I’m still interacting with the family. I’m just getting everyone standing still, looking at the camera.
I’m always in search of new locations! I stumbled upon this park after getting a tip from a client. Before booking a job there, I went alone to walk the park and see if it would work for my criteria.
My go-to pose for families with wiggly little ones is putting the kids in front of them. This way, the kids have some movement, but they’re contained!
I love being able to document a family’s time in Southern California! If you don’t live by a beach, there’s something really special about being able to experience it. If I can, I choose a low tide day, so the ocean isn’t so intimidating.
Moms! This is for you! You’re probably the one behind the camera, so this is your chance to schedule a session just for you and your kids (no matter how old they are!)
The sessions will be on May 14 at my studio in Long Beach. Of course, you’re welcome to bring husbands or grandparents…but this session is for you!
