Little Miss Piper brought her whole family to the beach to play. Her mom and dad chased her on the sand, her grandma kissed her cute cheeks and her uncle lifted her high in the air while she squealed. Piper is independent and unabashedly herself. She also isn't stingy with the smiles and giggles. :)
This little boy could not be more loved. Kannan's family followed him around Huntington Beach for an hour, pausing to pick him up and swing him around, showing him the sand and water, kissing his (adorable) cheeks. And I got to follow them around and document all of it. This is why I love family sessions; my style is very photojournalistic and my goal is always to show what it's really like to be a kid. It's always nice to have a posed family photo, but it's also nice to remember what being 1 year old is like. So here's Kannan at 1. (And have you seen his hair??)
It's that time of year again! Warmer weather, more sunshine than usual and weddings every weekend. :) I'm about a third of the way into my season, and so far it's been fantastic. I can definitely feel the crunch though. There are late nights, lunches at my desk and hesitations when people ask me to do things. My aunt called recently and asked me to come over for lunch. My first inclination was to say I was too busy, but then I realized how ridiculous that was. When I get busy, I tend to lose sight of what's really important, and what's really important is not working seven days a week without a break. So today I'm looking forward to a lunch away from my desk, in front of people who are important and who I want to make time to see. That's the best part of this job; I get to manage my own schedule! So, in lieu of my planned blog post for today, I'm going a little bit easier on the workload and sharing a couple peeks from recent portrait sessions. Thank you, thank you, thank you to my patient clients! :)
