sydney & noah | san luis obispo family photography

a few of sweet sydney and noah. they were pretty unsure of me at first, but i was thrilled to get hugs from them at the end of our session.





i love when families just go with my odd suggestions for angles... i'd love my own family portrait to look like this:

birthday boy | san luis obispo baby photography

this adorable boy turns one on july 7. happy, smiley, chubby, drooly--he's the perfect man!

baby | autumn

just seven days old, little miss autumn simply wanted to be held and snuggled and nursed. i helped with two while her mama spent most of our time together taking care of the third. she was not, however, interested in sleeping for us, so the sweet-squishy-sleepy baby images that i had envisioned did not happen. oh, well, i got a smile instead!

baby | hank

hank is five months old and just about as cute and drooly and chubby as could be. he was a joy to spend time with this morning!

hank decided to wake his daddy and mommy up extra early this morning so they'd have plenty of time to get ready for the photo session...



early wake-up = sweet sleepy babe

baby | everley

she was born just 11 days ago!



and a few shots of the rest of the adorable family

Matt and Monica + 3

I met up with Matt and Monica at their stunning house to do a shoot with their stunning family. It was really a great time hanging out with ultra-affectionate Malia, stunt-boy Makaio and sweet, beautiful (and just a little bit tempermental) Maile.

This shot of Maile is my favorite of the day:

Scott, Stacey, Lily and Corbin

This was Scott and Stacey's Christmas card shoot. They're a beautiful family (check out everyone's blue eyes!) and I had a great time running around with them at the beach!


Corbin and Lily did so great posing and smiling for me, we had to throw a few silly shots in.
