Esther’s Family in Bloom
I recently had the opportunity to photograph Esther and Michael, along with Esther’s children and grandchildren, on the grounds of California’s State Capitol. It was a beautiful day, the camellias were in bloom, and the trees in the orange grove were dropping big juicy oranges on the grass to be snapped up and eaten by whomever pleased. It seemed like everyone I saw was relaxed and drinking in the sun and fresh air. It was just a really nice day, and I enjoyed spending part of it with this lovely family who came together from far and wide so they could be in a portrait together. Here are some of my favorite images from the session.
Happy 3rd & 30th!
Today is my little sister’s birthday, and tomorrow is my son’s. For a minute there I thought they might end up having the same birthday. Anywho, I can’t believe how old they are both getting! Especially since I’m not getting old at all. Strange. Hey, wait a minute! Oh well, this photo was taken on a recent outing to the zoo. They are looking up in awe at the strange beauty of the toucan- or maybe they’re amused by the potty-mouthed mynah bird. (Disclaimer: Blame the mynah bird for any bad words you hear my son repeating. Thank you!)
Tere, Cassie, Daniel, & Alex
It might be hard to believe we were in the middle of winter when these photos were taken, but it’s true! It was a gorgeous day, and I got to photograph an equally gorgeous family. These are few of my favorites from the fun afternoon I spent with Tere and her kids.
The Schwartz & Wheeler Families
On a breezy, but beautiful morning in Pacific Grove, Cindy brought her husband Andrew and daughter Evelyn to join her brother Jason, his wife Julie, and their son Jaden for a little photo session together. The day was bitter-sweet for everyone as Jason and his family were days away from moving out-of-state. Hopefully the photos will comprise for them some lovely memories of being together, playing in the sun and splashing in the sea.
