. an afternoon in the woods
Awhile back four of my favorite subjects (see a few past sessions with them here, here and here) and I spent an afternoon at Caspers Park. It was a calm and sunny day with a gentle warmth. The park was eerily quiet when I first arrived all alone. While I set up the cute [...]

I love photographing families. For some reason, I really enjoy photographing families with boys. Maybe it’s because they tend to be more of a challenge. The uncomfortable grins, the goofy faces-just like my own son-make my heart smile. Boys are fabulous at coming up with ways to ‘avoid the camera’ so to speak. Girls usually [...]

This session is one of my clients who hires me often to photograph her family. It is one of the most rewarding experiences to photograph a family year after year and these three are so much fun to capture. The little boy is all energy and his sisters are very patient and giggly about his [...]

I’ve been working on one of my favorite sessions yet which was at the San Juan Capistrano Mission with a family of 5. And of course we couldn’t pass up the Los Rios District at sunset so we headed across the street after the mission closed. It was one of those really hot days back [...]

We visited the Jewel of the California Missions this weekend. It was a beautiful day and the kids loved just walking around the old ruins. I forget about it until I drive by once in awhile and then think of going to see it. Merrik and Maliea especially loved the koi ponds and the gift [...]
