In-home family sessions are less posed and less forced. I cannot even begin to tell you how much excitement I get when a family suggests to do their family photos in the comfort of their own home, where their is so much story to tell and so much rawness! Opening up your home for photos allows your children to feel relaxed where they tend to warm up much faster for the camera, bringing out those genuine smiles and connections between siblings and parents!

This documentary in-home session was full of cuddles, laughter, bed jumping & even some tickling & chasing! It is such an honor to be welcomed into your home to capture a little piece of those real-every-day-moments.

So if you’re debating on the location of your next family session because maybe the beach and park have already been the previous years choice, consider doing a family session in your home for the next one!

“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. 
Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. 
But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.” 
-Mitch Albom

I love documenting new life . I love and feel so honored to be invited into my clients homes, capturing the bond they share and the excitement of a siblings arrival . I really aim to capture that raw natural beauty that lies within family connection, those in-between moments, the real life stuff. For this session I found so much love these older brothers shared for each other and their first little sister. Newborn sessions are not just about photographing a perfect sleepy baby, they are about capturing the love that surrounds them and thats honestly my favorite part! So when expecting mammas email me asking if their session includes siblings & parents, I always say YES OFCOURSE! In fact- I encourage you to be present in your family photos! <3 Thank you for all of you who entrust in me to document such a special time!

 I love giving the children in our session free roam to play and run around, capturing their real selves, their little but oh so BIG personalities as they interact with mom & dad in front my camera. Play is the key in a successful family session. Lots of tickling, chasing, jumping , splashing - I live to capture that raw beauty that lies within family connection. Sometimes asking a toddler or child to sit still and smile doesn't exactly give us a true memory of them at this age, this is why I feel its important to sing with them , giggle with them, ask them questions. This is how I capture family sessions, like a casual day with mom & dad at the beach.

 Mommy & Me Mini Sessions

A couple weekends ago we had some gorgeous mammas & their adorable babies join in for the Mommy & Me Mini Sessions! It was so fun frolicking thru the golden fields at Bommer Canyon, Irvine . It was really the perfect soft light we needed for our sessions too! I just adore motherhood and getting to capture that raw beauty of it all is my absolute favorite. Here are a few sneak peeks from the mini sessions. 

Also, in case you missed it I opened up one more date for these Mommy & Me Mini’s on July 9th. I still have a few spots left so if you’d like to learn more about these sessions or want to reserve your spot let me know! ;)

This gorgeous mamma, Jessica,  is a dear friend of mine and I just can’t get enough of photographing her new little girl Avery. For this session we incorporated floral crowns and flowy neutral toned  dresses to really get that dreamy feel to our session. I loved just sitting in the fields with these two watching them interact and capturing their love + bond. I think motherhood is so incredibly beautiful and we really can’t photograph it enough. I love the raw emotion and real connection between a mamma and her offspring , I love to get those natural organic shots that allow us to once remember a time that seems to go by so fast. Scroll down for more from this session.
