Kids Photo Shoot- Ojai, CA

I normally use this space for only client's photo shoots, but I figured you wouldn't mind seeing a photo shoot my kids indulged me in back in November. We were on vacation in Ojai, California, and I try to do 3 shoots each year of my kids. Each one around the birthday of a child. This time Gunnar was turning 10. Enjoy!

Romeo’s 10 Month Photo Shoot

My nephew. No words. Just delicious in every single way. We took his 10 month photos in Ojai, CA. I could kiss this boy every moment of every day.

Besser Family Shoot- Rustic Canyon

Gunnar has been friends with Jordan since kindergarten, and each year they are more and more inseparable. I love this family and their kids. So I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph some updated family and kids pictures for them. We headed to Rustic Canyon Park in Santa Monica. It was my first time photographing there in years. One year we had our own photos taken there, but I've never taken clients. I think that's about to change. The scenery and the lighting, and the foliage. Just perfect. These kids were great and it was done in no time.

Kids Shoot- Stacie and Bryan

These two were just a joy to photograph. This big sister sure loves her brother, and she can get him to smile and laugh better than anyone. We started off in their home and then moved to a park. I just love all the bits and pieces that new babies have. The rolls, the toes, the dimple.

Newborn Elizabeth

One of the most sacred things about photographing families is documenting the changes in their lives. I have had the privilege of watching this family grow through the years, and a few weeks ago I received a call that they welcomed a little girl into the world. And I was lucky enough to come meet her and watch this family for a morning. Jonathan is such a sweet boy, and oh does he love trucks. If I could have had a photo taken of me taking a photo you would see my iphone on the bed set to sleep sounds of running rivers and rain, I'd be standing on the bed, and Jonathan(big brother) would be with his toy car driving it up my feet and leg. All the while I'm playing games or singing songs with him while photographing his little sister, that is of course until I got him on the bed and captured some sweet moments of a big brother and his little sister. Melt my heart, I tell you. I sure do love taking pictures of kids. Photo shoots like this are why I do what I do.
