In-home family sessions are less posed and less forced. I cannot even begin to tell you how much excitement I get when a family suggests to do their family photos in the comfort of their own home, where their is so much story to tell and so much rawness! Opening up your home for photos allows your children to feel relaxed where they tend to warm up much faster for the camera, bringing out those genuine smiles and connections between siblings and parents!

This documentary in-home session was full of cuddles, laughter, bed jumping & even some tickling & chasing! It is such an honor to be welcomed into your home to capture a little piece of those real-every-day-moments.

So if you’re debating on the location of your next family session because maybe the beach and park have already been the previous years choice, consider doing a family session in your home for the next one!

“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. 
Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. 
But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.” 
-Mitch Albom

 I love giving the children in our session free roam to play and run around, capturing their real selves, their little but oh so BIG personalities as they interact with mom & dad in front my camera. Play is the key in a successful family session. Lots of tickling, chasing, jumping , splashing - I live to capture that raw beauty that lies within family connection. Sometimes asking a toddler or child to sit still and smile doesn't exactly give us a true memory of them at this age, this is why I feel its important to sing with them , giggle with them, ask them questions. This is how I capture family sessions, like a casual day with mom & dad at the beach.

“May you always know little one, you were wished for, longed for, prayed for, and wanted."

I love connecting with families I meet and getting to know their story. This sweet little guy, Jordan, is just shy of 2 years old, waiting for his adoption to be complete. This family came all the way from Arkansas to visit Jordan as just in a few weeks they get to take him home forever . I couldn't feel more honored to capture this special time for them.

Lately I have been welcomed into a lot of homes for newborn sessions and one of my favorite parts is seeing the incredibly creative nurseries the parents build & piece together! It makes this space for their little one that much more special. This beachy themed nursery is one that makes my heart flutter guys! I literally couldn’t wait to share more of the details with you guys! The vibrant colors were so fun to photograph and it was fitting for these two parents who live near the beach and have a sandy lifestyle ;) Scroll down to see more of this handsome little guys session and the beautiful love this family shares.

I am SO behind on blogging guys! Like a gazillion sessions waiting on my desktop to hit the BLOG, eeks!

 I’ve been photographing lots of new little blossoms of humanity lately and I’m loving it! It must be baby booming season you guys! This Orange County family session was really fun because of big sister who was full of spunk & energy! I just adore watching little ones become siblings and that I get to witness the love & joy of it right behind my lens! My goal for these sessions are not to force anything, to roll with the punches and capture the beauty that is already right there in front of us. I do a little posing and directing but mostly just to give big sister something to do with her hands ;) Their is nothing more beautiful than a family bonding and I really like to encourage story time, jumping on the bed and lots of cuddles + kisses to get those real & raw moments captured. 

OKAY- this sweet little boys nursery? Can we just hashtag #nurserygoals already?! I mean who doesn’t love a travel room , this theme was so darn cute! I love how mamma pieced together the wall of little travel books, the word “E-X-P-L-O-R-E”  and the little personalized car with their families last name.

Don’t even get me started on the incredibly beautiful garden swing they had just hanging out in their yard! I literally saw it thru their window as I was peeking thru their curtains (wait, that sound creepy. I mean in a non-creepy way ;) and said to them “ Can we please use that gorgeous swing surrounded by roses & greenery ?!  Hashtag #everyphotographersdream

 Mommy & Me Mini Sessions

A couple weekends ago we had some gorgeous mammas & their adorable babies join in for the Mommy & Me Mini Sessions! It was so fun frolicking thru the golden fields at Bommer Canyon, Irvine . It was really the perfect soft light we needed for our sessions too! I just adore motherhood and getting to capture that raw beauty of it all is my absolute favorite. Here are a few sneak peeks from the mini sessions.
