Let me introduce my cousin to you. . .her family is just one of those families you look at and think, “WOWZA, that is one beautiful group of human beings.” One might even be a little jealous looking at them because I mean seriously, how much prettier can you get? We had allll kinds of people stopping on the beach just to take a look at them. And you know what the BEST thing is about my cousin? She is SO down to earth and silly. Her and I are kindred spirits and always have been growing up. She makes me laugh and we have allllll kinds of crazy fun together. Their family moved away a few years ago and we sure miss them terribly. I am so lucky to have such a fun extended family. . .it makes life so much more exciting and laughter is always abundant when we are together. Yes, I put a lot of pictures of her dancing (she was modeling how to dance on the beach for her girls), but they make me giggle and I just wish I could have been dancing on the beach with her.

I talked about my un-project here in case you are wondering what I’m referring to! I took the kids to the beach last week and decided to get some fun shots of them while they played. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful! This week we took the kids to the snow. . .that’s Southern California for you! I remember going snowboarding up in the mountains as a teenager and then skiing out on the lake later that afternoon. Ah the joys of living in San Diego! Especially when you can say you’re at the beach enjoying the sun in your Facebook status and know there are a million people up to their ears in snow wanting to reach through the screen and choke you.I’m such a giver.

xoxo,

Kristin

First of all, here I thought I would be a better blogger this year and I’m already failing! :/ I so wish I was better at this, but life with three crazy kids tends to get in the way sometimes and right now they are my main focus, so I won’t make myself feel too guilty.

Second of all, I have been waiting to blog this great family for a couple of weeks and am finally getting a chance. I have watched Miss Sophie grow up the last two years and it has been so fun. She has grown from a teeny tiny newborn to an active adorable 2 year old in what seems like no time at all. For being two, she sure was an easy subject and full of adorable smiles as you’ll get a chance to see!!

Thank you S family for choosing me to capture you all this last couple of years! It’s been so fun to watch Sophie grow!!!

xoxo,

Kristin

Well, I’m finally getting around to showing some images from his beach session with mommy and daddy. One year old Javi was so easy-going and happy and gave me so many sweet smiles!! Gotta love a happy baby!!!!





Ana and Luis, thank you for choosing me to capture your beautiful family! I had a blast with you guys and hope to see you again in the future!

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

This gorgeous family is from Dallas and I couldn’t wait to meet them! Jennifer’s (mom) main goal was an artsy, fun family portrait. Yay!!! They were a blast to photograph and we had a lot of laughs. I even managed to break the teenager, Mitchell, from his teenager-ism (made up word) for awhile. He taught me some new lingo and we gave each other knuckles. . .I’m so cool it kills me. HAHA! Blaire, his sweet, loving, beautiful sister was so fun and full of energy and life. The only bummer was the weather, it was super gloomy and overcast. But I think it turned out just fine.

Seriously, how gorgeous are they!??!?

This one makes me giggle.

This was their equivalent to a jumping shot. . .love it!!! They are a sporty family so this fits.

This one makes me giggle even more.

LOVE. love. love.

And that’s a wrap!!

Thank you Jennifer, Michael, Mitchell, and Blaire for being YOU! I had such a great time with you all and think your family is amazing. It is such a breath of fresh air to meet families who have so much fun together and that you can just see the beautiful connection between them.

xoxo,

Kristin

to the V-fab family. Rachael, Mark, and little O have been a part of our church family for many years now and life’s journey is taking them in a new direction. They are moving to Michigan at the end of this month so they wanted some beach portraits before they left the amazing state of California. Rachael is pregnant with her second baby and I’m bummed I won’t be able to see him/her grow up like I was able to see little Owen over this past 18 months. I took some maternity portraits of Rachael when she was pregnant with him too, so you may recognize her beautiful face!

Isn’t he so freaking cute?!?!?! Like a little doll.

My fav pic from the session!

Rach, we will miss your family and wish you all the best!!!!!!!!! I’m so honored I could capture these memories for you guys at the beach and know it will hold a special place in your hearts forever. xoxo!

Remember this cutie?

Well, I have to share a bunch of pictures from her session with her gorgeous parents. Jose and Alex were not only good-looking, they were so nice and down to earth and comfortable in front of the camera. . .and it showed! I fell in love with all of their pictures and had a tough time narrowing it down. . .so I didn’t and just picked my very favorites! I think you’ll see why I loved their session so much too.

And that’s a wrap. . .can you tell little Isabella is DONE?!?! Still lovin’ this pic though despite that sweet, solemn face.

xoxo,

Kristin

Next is the A family. This is adorable 9 month old Isabelle. . .isn’t she scrumptious?!?!?!?!?

Happy Tuesday everyone! School is officially out! Yippeee! Summer time fun, here we come!

Large groups always make me a bit nervous. Especially when there are 5 kids under the age of 5. And even more so when the night before the session, the beach is FREEZING and super windy. I drank about a pot of coffee so I could have super energy and headed over to meet the J family who were vacationing in Del Mar together. Once I walked in and saw them all, I knew I was in for an awesome session because not only are they ALL drop-dead gorgeous, but you could just tell right away that they were kick-back, fun, and my kind of family. The kids were so well-behaved and laughed at all of my crazy antics. What more could a girl ask for?!?

I wish I could share more because I have so, so many great ones, but this month has been insane and I’m so behind!!! Stay tuned for some super adorable preschoolers appearing on my blog soon!

Ok seriously, how freaking cute are all of they? Like little magazine models!

I really am quite funny, can you tell? The only one who wasn’t amused was the baby. LOL

I have to give credit for this “pose” to my good friend Desiree when she did my extended family pics last year. Such a fun shot!

Aren’t they adorable?

xoxo,

Kristin
