the Keiser family ~ San Diego Family Photography, mission beach

The weather was calling for rain all day and even thunderstorms… which quite honestly, I didn’t buy at all.  We ended up with partly cloudy skies, of course:)  But I did hear it rained all night in North County with thunder and lightning.  That would have been fun.  This family was in town on vacation and told me I could come to their house in Nebraska if I wanted some good storms.  I would so love that:)

Onto this session.  We had a lot of fun.  Mom, Dad, and their six kids ranging in age from 13-8 mos.  We decided to walk from their place in N. Mission up to the pier and stop along the way.   The kids were great… it was a long shoot but I think breaking it up and playing on the boardwalk wall and the lifeguard tower and the pier helped.  I really could have photographed them for hours… but I don’t think the kids were going to have anything to do with that plan:P

So let’s bring out the photos.  I have TONS of favorites… but I kind of always do so here are 16 that I love.

Mom said that Rhett would probably be shy with me.  I started taking photos of the other kids and he was quite curious about what I was doing.  Love this one:)

And this would be the miracle shot at the very end of our day with lots of help from mom and dad:)


This photo sums up each of these boys perfectly:)
Something about this one, I just love.
Ok I think that is all of them for now.  I really could post about 176 more.  I have the hardest time narrowing down my family shoots.  Wish me luck!

And to the Keiser family…. thank you so much for inviting me along to photograph your darling and fun family.  I hope you all make it back to So. Cal. again someday:)
