I’m a bit bias but isn’t this the cutest family ever?!  Well minus the guy with the goatee 😉  Just kidding!  That’s my older cousin Jeff and his ladies!  Jeff’s lovely wife Coraly is a huge fan of my blog and I know she will be so excited to see this <3

The Harlan’s were in town for a wedding and asked me to take some family photos of them at Kit Carson Park.  Besides being attacked by killer gnats, the weather was perfect!

Meet the baby, Ayda!  She was a little cranky for the session but I still managed to grab a few shots of her 😉

Maisen and Layne are the best of friends!  I never had a sister so I cannot begin to understand their bond, but I have to admit I am a bit jealous with how close they are!

Love this one!  <3

Grandma Rhonda (well she is Aunt Rhonda to me!) had to get in on some photo action of course!

We headed over to the playground for some fun action shots!

Love you guys!  Wish we lived closer so I could see you more often!

I was so excited when Andrea contacted me to do their maternity photos.  These two are old College buddies of mine (Drea is my sorority sister) and I haven’t seen them in over 8 years!  It was great catching up on this side of the Country. I am super excited they moved close to me, to San Clemente recently.

We met on a very overcast day at the San Clemente Pier.  They are due to have a precious baby girl in the beginning of September!

<3 this one

Hope the next 6 weeks goes well for you and congrats!

When M+J got married in 2008 I was super bummed that I was already booked for their wedding.  Over the last two years I got to know M better and was thrilled when they asked me to capture their new addition…Amalyn!  This little one has the sweetest, calm demeanor and the craziest hair!  I just adored her.

I captured this outake during one of Amalyn’s wardrobe changes…that hair!

She was so camera aware…always looking at what I was doing 🙂

My fav! <3

M+J I am so happy for you two, I mean three!  What a perfect little family!

Meet Hannah!  She is the talent behind Modern Bouquet.  We worked together for the first time last year at Blair and Travis’ wedding.  We have a wedding coming up together later this month and I cannot wait!  She had tweeted that she was in need of a new headshot so I jumped at the chance to get to know her a little better.  We had an awesome time scouting new locations, avoiding scary animals we couldn’t see and overall breaking the law by trespassing! All in a days work, right!?

You are beautiful Hannah! So glad to have you in my life! 🙂

I think that if I keep posting Maui images then maybe I will magically be back there.  You think that will work?

I had a great time getting to know Paula and her family!  They live in Germany and the whole family is bi-lingual – isn’t that awesome?

Don’t they appear so sweet and innocent? 😉

Meet Tillman, Dante and Sebastian (T&S are twins):

My fav <3

Hopefully I can come visit you all in Germany some day!

xoxo, M
