The F Family on the Beach | Tustin Family Photographer

The F family are good friends of ours, so it was a treat to get to photograph their family at the beach earlier this month.  I have been photographing them since M (the littlest one) was a newborn!  It is fun to document families growing up from behind my lens.  Enjoy your sneak peek F family!

Foothill High School Class of 2012 | Tustin Senior Portraits

R came with his family for a family session (that post is coming next!), but we spent some of the time on his senior portraits.  I have know R for a few years now and has been fun watching him grow up.  He is a water polo player for Foothill HS, is involved in the youth group at church, plays guitar, has worked hard to earn money for his first car, is a stellar big brother, he is just an all around fantastic guy!

Beautiful Girl! | Tustin Newborn Photographer

R is my newest neighbor!  She moved in earlier this month!  So we spent the morning getting to know each other shortly after her arrival.  She slept most of the time, but I didn't mind!  Hehehehe!  All silliness aside, congratulations to the growing R family!  R is a beautiful girl, and I am really looking forward to the chance to watch her grow!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

The G Family's Annual Portraits | Costa Mesa Family Photographer

The G family returns annually for family portraits.  This year they brought along both sets of grandparents for a complete family portrait.  It was so great seeing where all the family love stems from!  And of course to see M again (grandma with the red hair), she is the one who found me when I was just starting out and got this whole relationship going!  I love the G family!  I love that they return every year!  I love watching their family grow!  I am already thinking about next year's pictures!  I'm trying to push the G's for an on-location tropical location {{{HAWAII!!!}}}... although, I'm not sure that is going to happen... but a photographer can dream, right?!?!

Baby C | Mission Viejo Newborn Photographer

Baby C's momma came to me when C was 4.5 weeks old.  By most people's standards, he is still a newborn... but by a photographer's standards he was already growing up!  He really is growing up too... he was about 12lbs by the time C came to me!  And with that big baby came an alert and strong little fellow!  He was so interested in what I was doing that he stayed awake nearly the whole time!  I can already tell he is going to be a socialite who wants to be sure he doesn't miss out on any of the fun!

Mom wanted mostly black and white's so the first few are in black and white.  I just wanted to show a couple in color as well!

Here's big brother D, while we were waiting for C to fall asleep:  We tried getting one of them together, but it proved harder than we had hoped for.
