A wonderful family photo session in Los Angeles with my friends and their new pup!

It is always so nice to see previous clients again for their holiday photos!

I first met Juliana when she came to my house for a photography class when I first moved to Key West. I was so excited that she asked me to take family photos for her this year!

Look at this lovely extended family! I just can’t :) Yup, I said that. This was just such a wonderful session. Sometimes large groups can be a lot to handle - but everyone in this group was happy, cooperative and full of love even though it was super hot!

Um how cool is this idea?!? I can’t take any credit for it, it was all this mom’s idea to do this fun paint session at the beach

I try to get creative during every photo session. I make sure to get all the “perfect” looking photos with a mix of mom and dad, dad and kids, mom and kids etc.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I absolutely LOVE my job, if that is what you want to call it :)

My first cherry blossom session was so perfect. It was cloudy and a bit chilly, but this family came prepared with jackets to wear in between each photo location.

These three siblings had birthday celebrations (and half birthday celebrations) within a few months of each other so their mom wanted some updated photos of all three of them!

I photographed this cute baby for Halloween minis where he was dressed up as the most adorable Nemo!

Smathers for the win! It seriously is a photographers playground with all the locations to take photos at. It also doesn’t hurt when you get to photograph a lovely family here.

Ohh holiday minis are just way too much fun!! I had such a wonderful evening chasing the sun at Truman beach with this family.

These three. I just can’t! They were recommended to me by another friend I photographed and I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet them.

They didn't know this, but I TOTALLY DID A HAPPY DANCE when my neighbors asked me to take their family photos <3 

Holiday Minis are so much fun…. BUT what is even more fun, is photographing repeat clients (can I call them friends?).

Look at how adorable these two girls are? They had such fun attitudes this whole session (the little one even wanted some photos with her cute stuffed animal - kitty!)

It is the beginning of holiday photos! Most people wait to book their family photo sessions for holiday cards in November, but I love that this family was on it and booked right away!

My favorite thing about photo sessions is that I get to meet so many new people and hear their personal stories! I love that I always take photos at Smathers Beach, but every session is so different.

I had the pleasure of photographing Roy and Andrea for their maternity session and once their baby was born we had a newborn session as well.

Such a fun early morning Mommy + Me mini session with Lisa and baby J.
