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.

I already have a soft spot for redheads, and this little girl is a sweetie. Photographing her was the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon. Thank you to Camille and her sweet mom Sarah.

Back in November I had the opportunity to photograph the kids at our local Children’s Creative Learning Centers location. It’s such a great school, full of adorable kids, as you can see. This post was meant to be a composition of “Photographer’s Favorites” but ultimately I had to cut myself off. So we’ll call this “Some of the Photographer’s Favorites.”

This is also to let parents of CCLC kids know that you have until March 10th to place your final orders for the fall portrait session. Click here to review your child’s portraits.
