The Y Family at the Park | Irvine Family Portraits

Here's a quick sneak peek of the Y family.  I photographed them a couple years ago.  I love repeat clients because I feel like I get to be a part of capturing their families as they grow!

Holiday Mini Session at the Beach | Orange County Beach Portrait Photographer

Here is a quick sneak of the families I recently shot at the beach for the holidays.

Extended Family on the Lake | Woodbridge Family Portraits

The patriarch of this family just celebrated 80 years!  He had such a beautiful family to show for his life so far!  Congratulations for a life well lived!  And Happy Birthday!

Sweet Baby Girl | Orange County Newborn Photography

I spent the morning with this sweet girl a couple weeks ago.  The entire the time she was here I couldn't get over her scrumptious lips!  Are those just the most darling lips ever?!?!?!

And then she kept sneaking in smiles as soon as I would put down my camera.  I was worried I wouldn't ever capture one... but I snuck one in at the end of the session!  Gotta be quick with sweet R!  The moment was fleeting, but I was quicker!

My Cousin's Beautiful Family | All the way from Lagos, Nigeria!

That's right, my cousin and his beautiful family are on a work assignment in Lagos, Nigeria!  In August they came for a visit so of course I insisted on taking pictures of them!  It is so much fun and so relaxing to take pictures of the people you love!

I l♥ve this one below!  Funny, I thought none of this grouping turned out because they were deliriously silly at this point.  But I was more than pleasantly surprised at the joyful, natural smiles I captured instead!
