One of the best parts about photographing families is seeing the kids grow up year after year.  This is the third year we have been lucky enough to capture the Himes family, and each year they come up with new and cool locations, and this year they decided Griffith Park was the perfect spot to have some family fun.  We cannot wait to see what fun they come up with for next Christmas!

We recently had the pleasure of photographing two of Chris’s old friends from high school, who now both have the most gorgeous families.  We spent a great morning photographing them in Fallbrook, just north of San Diego!

I am so lucky not only to be able to do what I love, photography, but also to be able to use that gift to capture my friends families!!  I have known Andrea since she was roommates with my friend Leah in their sorority house, and when you meet her, you instantly fall in love with her!  She is the sweetest person in the world, and so kind… that I knew when I met her hubby and her two kids a few years ago, it would be the same feeling… instantly in love!!  This family is amazing!  They share so much love, and laughter, and you can’t help but smile everytime you are around.  Even more, I love watching Chris prepare to be a daddy, by chasing these two all around the park!!  Family photo sessions really are my favorite way to spend a fall afternoon!!  Here are some of the shots that made my heart go pitter patter….  enjoy!
