I was so excited when I heard that my cousin and his family were moving to California. You may not know this, but I lived in Pennsylvania for two years while I was finishing college. During those two years my dad’s cousin Ron graciously let me live with him and his son. Growing up in California I always felt somewhat removed from my east coast family. My dad grew up near Philadelphia and that’s where most of his family still lives. Those two years gave me a chance to reconnect with my dad’s side of the family. I loved the family dinners cousin Denise cooked and seeing everyone during that time. When I heard my cousin Sal was moving out west, I was ecstatic. It’s been fun to see them in the past few months and get to know his beautiful wife and children.
We decided to shoot in Seal Beach where they are living. Yes, east coast family, these pictures were taken this month and “YES” they are barefoot. The temperature did start to drop as the sun went down to a cool 60 degrees. But, as you can see we had a good time.
As you can see, Tori loved modeling. I think I may hire her for my next shoot. She’s a natural.
Amazing shots Mia! I love your style.
Thank you Mia. We love it!
Great job Mia! I love the black and white close up shots =D

Hey Mia:
Great job! Glad that Sal, Fran and the kids are able to spend some time in California. It’s great to have them together with the Bacayo’s and your family. Time is something that we’ll never experience twice. So, it’s important that we spend the quality moments. Have a great Thanksgiving and give the gang a big hug from the Fazio’s in South Carolina.
Love ya,
