orange county beach photographer | a perfect evening in july

I had the pleasure of being asked to take this gorgeous family’s pictures by Jessica, an amazing photographer in New York (if you’re from there and need pictures, she is awesome!). I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, humble, gracious family to work with. Jessica has a heart of gold and I loved watching her joy at her family being photographed all together. If you’ve ever had your extended family photographed, you know how much work it is to get everything together for it. She was so excited and it made my heart sing to see her excitement. And the fact that she chose ME to do it was the icing on the cake.

Seriously, how gorgeous do they all look??? Lovin’ the outfits and colors!!

I would love to have one like this of my siblings and I, there are four of us too and this picture has given me a mission to get it!

I really can be funny once in awhile.;)I love her laugh.

Funny story to this. I tell Jes’ dad to kiss her mom, so they kiss like they are kissing in front of a camera. . .naturally. So I told him to kiss her like he meant it and he went full gusto in for it taking her into the sand and all. I think the kids were a little grossed out, but I thought it was greatness.:)

Love love love this one. So much emotion and love captured.

10 month old Baby Jack. . .we did a series of him walking from daddy to mommy since he had just learned to walk. Pretty good for being on the sand!

Thank you to Jessica and her family for being amazing and for entrusting me to capture you all together on your vacation!! You all are beautiful inside and out!

xoxo,

Kristin

I just spent a lot more time than usual looking at these photos…I really couldn’t take my eyes off of them. They are absolutely gorgeous! The ones of mom/dad making out in the sand are adorable and the one of Jack walking in the sand is truly precious.

LOVE your work, gorgeous! Jessica – you have a BEAUTIFUL family! Your family shots are stunning.

Beautiful images of a beautiful family! Looks like it was a ton of fun, too!

JessicaAugust 14, 2010 - 3:30 am

Okay, where to begin? First of all, every minute of the session was so much fun (despite the fact that we arrived late and there weren’t enough of them). I cannot tell you how different this was from our portrait experiences growing up–no melt downs, tears, itchy clothes;). Plus, I was so excited to meet you.

Second, I love these so, so much. You really captured the connection and love in our family. I adore the one with my siblings and those images of my parents? It’s so totally them! I can’t thank you enough for the gift you have given our family. We will treasure these always. Always.

These are so beautiful!!I do not know if I could even pick a favorite. I adore the one of Jess and her family laughing together. And the one of her and Jack. I’d love a photo like that of my siblings.

I don’t think I’ve ever commented on your blog before but these pictures are just gorgeous. You did a terrific job but I also really love how they coordinated their clothes and it doesn’t look matchy matchy AT ALL. Wow.
What a beautiful family and so great that they’re capturing their bond.
