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…

fashion, little ones, outdoors, we are family

This is a little shout-out & sneak peek for my friend K, who is super stylish–a quality that trickles down in benefits to her children, who always look adorable. We had a really fun portrait session, & I just had to share some of the beautiful details from the wardrobe she prepped for her kids. The whole family looked fantastic, which is a great place to begin for photographs! Happy kids + clothes that reflect your personality + fun parents = great pictures!
