Cute Families Coming Atcha | Orange County Family Photographer

A little glance at what I am working on now...

Love is Thicker than Blood | Orange County Family Photographer

So, just the other day my husband suggested to me that I not post as many pictures from one photo session on the blog, he just thought it was a little over kill.  I took his words into consideration, but ironically, while struggling to narrow down my selection for this shoot, I was forced to purchase more storage space for my blog because I had used up my allotted amount.  Not being able to make decisions and eliminate some photos cost me five big ones.  Rats.

I have nothing but great things to say about this family! They are so happy and full of love and seriously enjoyable to be around.  I am so excited to shoot their wedding in February - I know it is going to be a good one :)

All in the Family | Irvine Family Photographer

What do you call family that is your family but not really your family?  Cousins?  That is what I will call these people, my cousins.  My sister's in-laws were in town from Minnesota so I got to take their family Christmas photos.  It was a fun shoot, somewhat random location (not that random really...but when we first pulled up it looked like some kind of dirty concrete reservoir, I wasn't sure how these were going to turn out) but after walking a few minutes we found some pretty spots that seemed to work out kind of great.  I am still laughing to myself because the two "standing up" photos I am posting are in different locations but basically the exact same pose in both of them.  Ha.  I guess we could have gotten a little more creative :)  Love you guys - thanks for letting me hang out with all of you and taking some pictures :)

A Joy to the World | Irvine Family Photographer

Isn't it fun to have a new baby at home just in time for the holidays?  I think so! :) Babies bring so much joy, what else could make for a better gift?

Goodman Gang | Laguna Hills Family Photographer

I love big happy families, and this one is no exception.  Goodman Gang, thank you for letting me capture your family for you, so fun for me to be apart of your 2010 family photo ;)

Little Lady in Red

Taking these pictures was so much fun.  I love the red shoes, baby Samantha's red purse that occasionally made it into the shot, the yummy sun, my favorite location, and above all else, the family :)  Thanks guys for letting me take your family photos - I enjoyed every second of it!! xo
