These two were a gem to photograph. When I had first arrived to their session, my settings on my camera felt different, and my camera was not focusing , it was shooting blurry shots so I knew it had something to do with calibration or focus. They were full of grace and understanding, and I could feel their trust in me as I problem solved . Even though on the inside I panicked, wondering if my camera was malfunctioning or broken perhaps- I then remembered I handed my camera to a guy at a wedding to jump in a photo this past weekend - and he changed my settings to manual focus 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 Long story short, I’ve had some tough days since my husband’s been gone for work for 6 months- juggling the business and my little ones at home alone, most days I feel like I’m running around like a chicken with its head cut off... but meeting clients who were patient/understanding showing me so much grace in a moment where things didn’t go as planned , made me feel so grateful, made me eager to capture magical shots for them as we connected with eachother even more during our session . Show some grace to someone you love today, I promise it will mean the world to them.

Also, how awesome is Calafia State beach in San Clemente with its diversity of scenery? Alessia & Jeff wanted a beach that offered different scenery for their maternity session aside from just the open sand, so we utilized the rocky boulder areas, lifeguard tower and walked down to the water at sunset. It was a gorgeous evening with that soft diffused light we photogs always love ;)

Obsessed with this little growing family! Can’t believe just a year ago I was photographing this little guy turning ONE and now he’s a BIG brother! This Orange County Newborn Session was a dream to document ! This sweet little guy, Ford, is so animated and full of joy while embracing the new addition to his family . 

I love getting to watch families grow!

You cant beat a good sunset maternity session in SoCal! I love being an Orange County based photographer! These two, Jill and Brandon , came all the way from New Jersey! What better way to remember their baby-moon than to have their memories captured together on the beach?! These two lovebirds made my job easy , constantly smiling and staying connected with eachother! Love what I do !

The Duchesneau's Family Session // Calafia State Beach // San Clemente Photographer

This session was a special one because one of these sweet girls, (Sophia , age 8yr), is a best friend of my daughters and in her second grade class  . I really love shooting at this location because of the versatility in all the scenic you get ! This spot has incredible hiking trails like the one you see us shooting on below and it offers an incredible view of the ocean! Not to mention, kids always love watching the train go by right along the beach! Just perfect. I truly loved watching these two sisters ( Sophia & Emma) bond in the ocean and run and play, capturing their sweet connection as siblings! I love  getting mommies in these shots too, because even though we tend to hide from the camera, our munchkins will love having these memories to look back on together later! Thank you Sarah for allowing me the privilege to capture these moments of you & your beautiful girls!
