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

This GORGEOUS family came all the way from Washington to have their pictures taken on sunny San Diego’s beach with me. Only there was a problem. . .the sun was not to be seen this certain weekend. In fact, we were having a TON of rain.

Allison decided we would go ahead with the session since they traveled so far and she had put SO much thought and care into the whole thing. When we got to the beach it was COLD, but the rain stopped for us and there was even some breaks in the clouds. Her kids were AMAZINGLY good and so sweet and funny. I fell head over heels in love with all of them.

Unfortunately, we stumbled up one more big obstacle about 15 minutes into our session. While I was taking pictures of the two boys, Miss C decided to take a HUGE dip into the ocean from head to toe. Luckily, the people they were staying with lived super close and brought us a spare change of clothes for her. She never cried ONCE and was such a trooper, blue lips and all!!!! We even managed to get a ton more great shots and finish out the session.

Without further adieu!

I love this little cutie pie!!!

Can you feel the love? Heehee. Reminds me of my house.

I freaking love how much laughing they all did. Granted, I was pretty hilarious too.

This duo is the epitome of an adorable couple. Check out her cute belly too! I can only imagine how gorgeous their new little addition will be. I had so much fun with them and got SO many great shots. Thanks Brian and Brooke for being you. . .and for getting the bottom’s of your pants wet.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful, blessed day! I know I have SO much to be thankful for. xoxo!

I had the great pleasure of doing baby Dane’s newborn pictures and now he is almost one year old! Here he is back when he was brand new. I can’t believe how fast time flies. It was amazing to see how much he’s grown and he is still just as adorable as ever.I know I say it all the time, but I get the most gorgeous families!!! And I have to brag just a little (sorry Kevin!), but Kevin is a very talented pitcher for the San Diego Padres. . .or so I’ve heard (I don’t follow sports very much if at all but I do love my Padres). Onto the pics!

This basket is becoming a must have for babies on the beach. Little Dane was anti-sand at first and loved hangin’ out in the basket.

Hey photographer’s! I had the opportunity to be a guest blogger again on Jodi/MCP Actions fabulous blog this week. I get asked a lot about posing people at the beach and I wrote down some posing suggestions so go check them out!7 Rockin Beach Posing Tips

And a picture always makes a post more interesting, so I thought I’d share a pic I came across of my kids at the beach all actually looking at me. These days, it seems near impossible!!!! Granted they aren’t in portrait ready clothing (we were camping at the beach with some friends), but I will take it! Even if the youngest looks like he’s being tortured.

This is more like what I normally get. . .don’t be jealous.

I just love love looooooooooove when my main focus of a session is to capture a relationship. This is what I adore about my job. A look into the spirit of this adorable 5 year old boy and his amazing dad. Stopped in time. It makes me emotional to capture relationships like this because THIS is what is important in life. A good friend of mine just lost her father, and it reminded me that our days are numbered. Enjoy each moment, focus on the important stuff, and hug your loved ones.

The spot where we took these pics is very special to this cutie-pie, Will, and his dad. They love to hike and hit the beach and I even joined them up to my waist in the water! Clothes can be washed anyway!I hope you enjoy these pictures!

How gorgeous are these three!??!?! They were spunky, sweet, and so so much fun! I normally process in color much more than black and white, but with these gorgeous dresses, I am just LOVING black and white for this session! Such a classic and timeless feel to these. Enjoy!

Another beautiful evening on the beach with another GORGEOUS family! How do I get so lucky? I had a great time with this family and could relate to them well since their kids were almost exactly the same ages as my kiddos, hence the title deja vu! It took a lot of energy as it always does with little ones, but between the flatulence noises, singing silly songs, making high pitched squeaking sounds, and the tickle monster, I think we captured this family pretty darn well. Enjoy!!!

Meet the Bons family. Mom, Kristen (it’s a good name), is also a photographer in San Diego and just recently started her business and for good reason, she rocks! They won an auction I donated to our kids’ school and I couldn’t be happier to have had the opportunity to photograph their family. Not only were they easygoing, but they were fun. . .and I caught myself smiling and laughing while looking through all their pictures. Now that’s a good session!

I am going to share a lot so hold onto your seats and grab a cool, refreshing beverage! I think you’ll enjoy seeing just how fabulous their family is.

Aren’t they puuuuuuuurty!?!?

Now it’s time for some fun!!! On your marks, get set. . .

GO!!!!

A fun idea they had!

Now it’s time for a little race action. . .who is going to win this one? I’m thinking Dad is trying to cheat in this first one. Tsk tsk.

Cheaters never prosper.

Boys being boys. . .

and a girl who doesn’t want to miss out on the good times.

“You WILL smile and you will like it!”

This one just makes me giggle for some reason.

And that’s a wrap!

I have so many more that I just love, but all good things must come to an end.

I think 99% percent of the family sessions I’ve done involved bribing with dessert/ice cream at the end! Who doesn’t want ice cream, right?!?! And these two cuties were no different and couldn’t wait for their treat at the end of our session. I had never seen so many people at the beach in La Jolla that day, but we made it work and ended up with some great pictures of this beautiful family!!

I’ve been fighting a cough/cold all week so I’m a bit behind. Stay tuned for lots of blog posts the next couple of weeks!
