When another photographer asks you to document their family , it’s a huge honor but when another photog says they also want to FLY you out to document their family - now that’s a whole other level. The Dinsmore family was a dream to photograph and their home was just epic with every corner full of light & love. I couldn’t wait to share more from this session with you guys but you know when you love something so much you savor it for as long as you can? Yep, thats how I feel about this session. I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite image from this family’s session because they all were my favorite. What makes this session so special? CONNECTION. Yep, that’s gold for me as an artist. When clients relax, play and laugh , are themselves in front of the lens- it allows me to capture them authentically , all that make up who they are as a family. For this session we literally did the everyday stuff from piggy back rides in the kitchen , to coloring , to story time, cuddles, airplanes- you name it. This mamma had her own beautiful style and love for photography as well, being a photographer herself- so she invested time into the aesthetic of her session , into the vision , and she trusted me whole heartedly as her photographer which I felt deep within-and it allowed me to unleash my creativity + make magic. This session will forever be a favorite that I hold dear to my heart. In-home sessions are just so incredibly heartfelt to capture because it's where your love grows, it's where your babies grow up making memories with you, it's the space of sometimes nostalgia later in years- such a privilege documenting a family in this space. I know I’ve said it before, but in-home family lifestyle sessions are my JAM.

It’s always a little nerve wracking photographing another photographer, but I felt so honored when this mamma photog asked me to capture her gorgeous family while on vacation here visiting California. This Huntington Beach Family session was as light & airy as it gets and that's always a favorite of mine. I love how cloudy days offer us that soft diffused light resulting in clean modern family photos. Also, when clients are THIS stylish- it's just the icing on the cake. This mammas neutral pallet wardrobe was to die for and helped create some really dreamy shots of her family!
Thanks Kristin for trusting me to capture your family making sweet memories while visiting here!

As an Orange County Family photographer I alway strive to find the perfect location for family sessions, locations that allow for great scenery, and also allow for children to run and play which really allow me to capture those candid family moments. Newport Beach is one of my favorite locations to do family beach sessions, and the O'Brien Family was so much fun to work with. Their beach Family Session really allowed me to capture the perfect sunset photos with their children.

This has to be hands down one of my favorite ever in-home family sessions! If you don’t know already, in-home sessions are my JAM guys!
The Moore Family recently moved into their new dream home in Cardiff By The Sea. Their is sonething undeniable about an in-home lifestyle session is the overwhelming comfort of home. In this home, kids will grow, love will grow, memories will grow. It doesn’t get much better than witnessing the raw, natural connection that happens between the loved ones under this roof. Watching mom & baby snuggle and the joy of truly playing together without the pressure to document it all perfectly is really where its at!
This family right here though- The Moore Family - they are the warmest and kindest people you could ask to spend your morning with and I am so grateful that I get to call them my friends!

Being an Orange County Family Photographer is a dream guys! Their is seriously nothing I was more destined to do . I love capturing these first moments for families and everyday I am so grateful that you choose me to document it for you! Their is such an over-abundance of joy when a baby arrives , it's always important for me to help you to remember these precious (and sleep depriving ;) moments that can be so fleeting! When a family invites me into their home, I aim to capture that effortless raw everyday beauty . I love to step back and ask parents to just stare at their little munchkins features, let the baby move, yawn, and stretch. Babies have wonderful, perfect, sweet movements, so I do not stress over having the perfect pose in every frame. If theirs an older sibling in the session, tickling is a must! Play airplane with them, let them include their favorite toy, talk with them about their little sibling, whether it be "Can you find your sisters nose?" or "Lets give love to the baby!" Remember, lifestyle photography is about capturing moments, not poses. That’s pretty much the best part – you don’t have to stress about making everything perfect – you just want to get your newborn an griwing family on camera, so you have photos to remember them by.
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 !
I just love the soft, dreamy tones we had that evening in Laguna Beach, CA. This mamma frolicked in the ocean while I obsessed over the beautiful light and her gorgeous lace gown. It was high tide that day so we had wet feet but it made it even more drool worthy to photograph her gorgeous gown draping along the ocean shore. Lately I’ve gravitated toward the unintentional , the random blur that you get from out-of-focus shots can be so beautiful, the unintentional movement of a hand gracing the wisps of hair away - its all the unintentional that I feel connection to, the unintentional can be so beautiful.

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.
I love maternity sessions at the beach but even more so when its a cloudy day! That soft disused light mixed with the sunset colors is just so dreamy! I have been really enjoying photographing so many baby bumps lately ! This Shaw’s Cove, Laguna Beach Session is definitely going down as one of my favorite maternity sessions for the books. These maternity gowns that Helen, the expecting mamma picked out are just perfect ! Neutrals are the way to this photographers heart and she totally nailed it!
