This is the third time I’ve had the privilege of photographing my sweet friend’s family. This time, Jen’s mom, Laura was in town and Jen wanted her to have some pictures as a Mother’s day gift. I adore Laura. I grew up with Jen, and became very close to Laura over the years. When Jen would be spending hours in her room getting ready, (well it felt like hours), Laura and I would have the best chats at her kitchen table. She was like a second Mom to me and I love her so much. Click here and here to see the two previous photo shoots we’ve done together.

I had the honor to photograph Linda’s beautiful family almost 2 years ago during a mini-shoot with 4 other families. Click here to view. Linda wanted to capture her home and her two beautiful daughters in this amazing San Marino, 1920′s home, before they move in two weeks. They have lived here for 10 years, and she wanted her daughters to have a memory of the home that they lived in for the first part of their lives. What a wonderful idea! I think every family should get pictures inside their home, doing every day things, to capture those memories. I hadn’t met her youngest, and she actually took some of her first steps while I was there. It was so cool! Enjoy the photos.

Let me just say that I have the best job in the world. I love connecting with new families and getting to know people through this business. Tara, is someone I’ve known for a long time through a mutual friend, although it was the first time I met her parents. She surprised them at Christmas with a gift certificate for a family photo shoot and they were so excited to finally have some updated family photos. Their little girl is so sweet and my camera loved her.






Lynda and Jack just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Aren’t they a beautiful couple!

After months of emailing about the shoot, I was so happy to finally meet Hanna and her beautiful family. It was such a perfect morning to capture them. We had fun walking around the trails and exploring the park where we met. I’m so thankful to live in California where I can shoot outdoors. Their littlest one is turning 1 year old, so we focused on getting some really sweet shots of her for her upcoming birthday.



















I love this series of the birthday girl! Happy 1st little one.

Jeanie and Edward were such a joy to photograph, along with their two beautiful daughters. The balloons and sunflowers were so fun to incorporate into our shoot. It took awhile for the little one to warm up, but once she did I couldn’t get enough. Their oldest daughter was so sweet and gave me the absolute best smiles. Enjoy this beautiful family!

These two hold a very special place in my heart. Nate, is one of my husband’s first cousins, and like a brother to us. We were so excited when he introduced us, almost 2 years ago, to the love of his life. Nate and Jessica met in high school, but were acquaintances only. I love how social networking brings people together. Over 10 years later, Jessica found Nate on Facebook and wrote him. At first he couldn’t remember her, but then realized who she was. They quickly started dating. We are so excited to welcome Jessica to our family and can’t wait for their May wedding. Not only were they engaged last year, but Nate passed the Bar exam. Yay! We can’t wait to see you both start your lives together. We love you guys.

It was a cold, rainy day, but that didn’t stop this beautiful family from having fun up in Oak Glen as we took some family photos. This was actually my second photo session this year with Danielle and her kids. But, this time she wanted to include her parents in on the fun. You can check out the other photo shoot here.

My neighbor called me out of the blue and said, “Mia, how would you like to come with me and take pictures of my sister Brina, in a dress that she doesn’t mind getting dirty as she splashes in the water?” Me, “Yes, please. Count me in!” We packed up all our kids and headed for our local park that always gets flooded. The kids had a blast, and Brina was the perfect model for a rainy afternoon.
