The Cheek Family!

For the Cheek Family Portraits we went to one of my favorite new places in Laguna Canyon. Such a cute family! Seriously cute kids! I went to church with Catherine (the mom) when we were little, but I am A LOT older :) It made me feel very behind in life that I don't even have one child and Catherine has THREE. Carlos and I need to get on this kid thing, I think my biological clock is ticking :) Anyways, here are some of my favs from their fun session.

Sanders Family

Adorable family! Last year I was able to do Noah's 1 year pictures, it is so fun to be able to watch my clients grow up. And to watch families grow Joyce is due to have her baby in January, can't wait to do some fun newborn pictures.

Atwood Family Christmas Pictures and Baptism Pictures

These could have been the best behaved kids that I have ever photographed. It was so easy, I couldn't believe it. They had a really cute idea for their Christmas card picture, I was very happy to help out. We also did some really cute baptism pictures, such a special time. I was so happy with how they came out.

King Family

My heart just aches for this sweet family. Their beloved dog, Hershey, had cancer and they wanted to get one last family photo. You would have NEVER been able to tell that Hershey was so sick, she ran around on the beach, tired to chase the birds, everything a perfectly healthy dog would do. As we were finishing our session we were talking about how Hershey was their first child and such an integral part of the family, I had a giant lump in my throat as I left and I prayed for a miracle. Unfortunately, I heard that Hershey lost her battle this last week. I truly hope that these pictures are a comfort.

The Hunt Family

We are now deep into family portrait season and so you will be seeing a lot of family portraits on the blog for the next little while. The first are the Hunt Family. Love this family, they were one of my very first clients after we moved to California. They are just such a cute, fun family. Check out some of my favorites from their shoot.
