Teanna set up a shoot for her family, her mother in law who was in town and also her own mother. Such a great idea! Reminds me I need to take photos of my kids with my parents who are right here in town more often. Here are a few faves from this winter beach session.
This last one is my favorite kind of beach family shot. I do it whenever I can because I think everyone should get to see their family this cute!
I wish I had a picture of Kim and I when we were little…. I don’t darn it. Our parents were friends as we were growing up and we spent summers at La Jolla Shores and vacationed in Borrego Springs in the blistering heat and just layed in the pool all day and I think a season or two of baseball behind home plate.
I don’t see them very often and I couldn’t rememeber what her boys’ names were even. But it’s always fun to photograph people who you have some history with. There is just something that you get to see when you are behind the camera concentrating on each person that you just normally wouldn’t if you were to just hang out for two hours. I loved getting to ‘know’ each of her kids and how totally beautiful they all are.
I heard that getting to the shoot was a little rough on everyone (the getting ready part is usually the most stressful part) but you would never know it from my end. Everyone was great and even their youngest who is four made it through over 2 hours of shooting and traversing around the La Jolla Cove area.
So Kim is dying to see some pictures and I didn’t want to disappoint so here is a giant sneak peek for her:) And Kim, don’t hate me for your close up… you look awesome and I loved it too much to not include in my favorites. And the one right below it, one of my fave couple photos. And Luke’s jump… one of the best ever. Rivals my boys and I had to train them how to jump for pictures so they looked rad;) Ok… pictures!
I am actually kind of catching up… I think:) It’s hard to tell sometimes because I get things done, it creates new things to be done. It’s a revolving to-do list. The 18th is my goal to have nothing left to ‘revolve’.
The beach is one of my favorite places in the winter. Few people, cool air, amazing skies. This session didn’t disappoint in the skies. And this family didn’t disappoint either. We have some beautiful images and I can’t wait until they get to see them all.
I do love, love, love this last photo with this warm color treatment:)
I am getting a little caught up in this holiday rush of photos. Kind of…. This family chose my favorite La Jolla spot… it’s shown up quite a bit lately. These two little boys are so cute… I could photograph them all day if they would last. Here are some favorites.
I love Mission Beach because I adore the alleys there and the beach is always fun too. But having both in one place is awesome. I photographed this family last year and they have fab picture from our last session hanging high in the front window of Little Baby Bird Rock. When the boys were two last year, they were a little shy with me. This year??? Oh NO! These two were so funny and full of giggles. Loved every minute of photographing them.
thanks you guys for an awesome session!
