The S Family

Did I already mention that I love my neighborhood?  The S family was also one of the first families we met when we moved here.  In fact, C was still pregnant will little Elle!  Not only is my neighborhood filled with great people, the parks around here are beautiful.  We started out at the S home and some shots of Elle and big bro Jacob, then moved out to the park.  It was a great day and a fun session - and I C loaned me some shoes for our own family shoots!  Not only can you get sugar and eggs from your neighbor, but shoes too!  Hope you enjoy these photos, C & T!  xo

Let's start with Miss Elle.  What a cutie!

And here is big brother Jacob as handsome as can be.

So cute together.

Now with Mom and Dad.

Off to the clubhouse...

Can you say future model?  He's already got the smoldering look down

These next few I absolutely love.

The H Family

I have over 20 cousins all on my mom's side... and only 4 live in the U.S.  So, when my cousin Alyssa told me she was making a special trip to SoCal from overseas to visit us (well, and her husband's cousins), I was so overjoyed!  Alyssa is probably the cousin I am closest to, we grew up together back in ND and our families are close.  Well, I guess it's also b/c I can't communicate very well with my other cousins b/c most don't speak English.  :P

Anyways... I finally got to meet her husband Ivan and baby Ethan!  We spent a day together (too short!) and played with our kids and then headed down to my neighborhood park to do some photos.  Thanks so much for making us a stop on your U.S. tour!  I only hope we don't go as long in between seeing each other next time - maybe we will make it out to Taiwan!  xoxo

 Baby Ethan was so adorable!  He was so good at looking at the camera.

Such a beautiful little family!

The F Family

I love my neighborhood.  We just moved here at the beginning of the year and have met so many wonderful families.  The F Family were one of the first people we met here.  Every afternoon we saw them at the park with their then-2-year-old, Jacob.  Our boys were 2 as well, then we found out they had a new baby too - who happens to be just 4 days younger than my girl.  Well, baby Ian is now almost 1 and standing!!  Isn't this family simply beautiful?  Thanks for a fun session and so happy Jacob was a happy little man for us!  xoxo

Isn't this location just so great?

What a cutie!

Ian, so adorable!

Gorgeous trees!

The M Family

Remember my first newborns?  Well, they are now almost 3 months old!  I had the wonderful opportunity to capture the entire M family this time and had a great session with them.  Big sister Maya is so adorable and fun - just check out how happy she is!  The babies did great for being outside on a cloudy day - you can see Joaquin had a few moments, but that's so him.  :)  Thanks for asking me to photography your beautiful family, J & R!!  xoxo 

Prepare for some photo overload... :)

Check out this handsome party of 5.

Just the girls... and seriously, how fab does J look just 3 months after carrying twins??  Jeal!

How adorable is Maya?

Helena going, 'There he goes again...'  :)
