beach, little ones, outdoors, we are family

I have had the wonderful chance to get connected with Amy & Joe Mallia through my husband & the awesomeness that is the CrossFit community. The Mallias have three gorgeous girls, & we love looking into our future a bit & seeing how a dynamic couple manages two careers plus parenting. It was a bittersweet portrait session with them & their extended family in Manhattan Beach; the Mallia family is off to new adventures on the East Coast! Hopefully these pictures will help them remember their home by the beach…& bring them back for visits soon! Here’s to new journeys & the gift of love & family…

Where did the time go? I will say, I have never seen her so happy as in the past couple years–what a joy to see her with the love of her life & to see them both as moms. And I was just saying to my husband tonight that Marla & Rachel are sooooo in love–it makes me want to giggle, & it makes for great pictures! Here they are with their beautiful Maddy…

And to the assistants who made my job go so smoothly–I couldn’t have done it without you! Here’s a little sneak peek of what we captured today…
