Cindy’s family is literally spread across the globe, so she wanted to have pictures done when all her children were together. The Black family is so sweet…they made me miss my own family!
We went to Greenridge park for pictures and it was so windy, but we made the best of it…getting into position, then waiting for the wind to die down!
Here’s a great shot of the men in the Black family…the girls were behind me the whole time trying to make them laugh. 🙂

Donna and Casey were the first for my weekend line-up! They are getting married November 17 in Rescue, CA. I’ve never been, but from what they told me about it…it sounds beautiful. Donna is the sweet mom of my friend Mandy…if you can believe that! Not only is she gorgeous, she also has amazing taste in shoes…hence this picture:
And do you recognize the chair? It first appeared when Mandy had Henry. I asked if we could borrow the chair again and thankfully Casey had a big truck and was kind enough to lug it around for me!
These two are so in love…they made it fun to just take pictures of them interacting!
Thanks, Donna and Casey…it was fun hanging out with you!

Every Saturday morning Brent takes the kids to donuts. When we are down south there’s a particular donut shop they go to. The thing I remember most about it is the wall of food posters that are so old and tinted by the sun, they are blue….providing a nice background for this picture. 🙂
Here are the kids…waiting, waiting, waiting for the donuts…
Finally…sweet reward:
And this series is too cute…I’m loving the tongue, stuck out in concentration.
That’s it for the family posts. Tomorrow is my calm before the storm. I have four sessions this weekend…so I’ll have lots to share next week.

Brent’s parents live minutes from the beach…
this beach.
So, whenever we’re down, we try to go…like once a day! I’m not a huge fan of getting dirty and sandy, but it sure it pretty to look at! So, this time I brought my camera and had fun taking pictures of everyone ELSE getting dirty and sandy.
Nana tells the kids they can get "finger hugs" from the sea anemones…hence the pointed fingers!
Here’s a few of the fam:

We spent last weekend in Southern CA with family. It was nice relaxing and soaking up the sun…well, there wasn’t a lot of it, but when it came out it was nice!
There were trips to the duck pond, the aquarium and the donut shop…I’ll post more later.
For now, here are a few close ups…

The weekend before last I had the chance to photograph a wonderful family and their dog Lucy. Here are a few of my favorites from their session:
I love this mother/daughter shot…
At the end of the session, Mom and Dad let me take the kids to the playground. I love these candid shots…they actually ended up being some of my favorites overall.
Thanks Jullien family! I had fun hanging out with you!

To finish up my post on the adorable family I photographed this weekend…
We met at the beach and the skies couldn’t be bluer! 
My camera bag was full of goodies, so at one point we took out the bubbles. 🙂
A super sweet mommy and daughter moment…
And of course a moment with daddy too…
Thanks Drake family! I had fun spending my Saturday afternoon with you!

Today the preschool had a "Play Day." The teachers did such a great job putting together games and tons of fun activities for the preschoolers and their siblings.
Our first stop was a cooking making station. 
Next we did face painting. Jillian ran into her little friend, Mia, whose face was painted like a tiger. She decided she needed to be a tiger too. 🙂
Here’s a picture of Jake with his face painted…
It was a fun afternoon. I’m going later to the beach for a photo session, so I’ll be posting those pictures soon!

We started out the day at the chapel, taking pictures of the wedding party getting all gussied up. The guys room had these really cool checkers on the ceiling.
I love this shot of the bouquet being handed to Robbin while she was getting ready.
This was their first site…it was so sweet…they were just so excited to see each other, sun was streaming through the windows. It was beautiful!
The mansion grounds had all these gorgeous little alcoves, so we grabbed Robbin and Jason for a few minutes to take pictures.
I love grungy backgrounds as much as I love lush garden backgrounds. So…when we spotted this storage container behind the gardens, we took the girls back for some pictures. One lady even stopped us to tell us there were much better places to take pictures! I guess she didn’t have our vision. 🙂
This last pictures is especially meaningful because Robbin’s father has passed away. She is very close with her twin brothers (at the end) who walked her down the aisle. I love the way they are looking at her in this picture.
I loved being able to do this wedding with Shannon of Madison Ave Photography. We sat at BJ’s after the wedding looking at each other pictures and enjoying how we each got such different points of view. Shannon-thanks for letting me shoot with you! Robbin and Jason-thanks so much for letting me be part of your day! I hope you are having a fabulous honeymoon in Hawaii!
