Happy Monday everyone!! Christmas is almost here already and I have not started shopping yet. . .I also have not done my Christmas cards yet. So I’m a little behind in this situation, but I’m sure it will all come together at the end, right??? Cross your fingers for me!

You may recognize this beautiful family from prior years on my blog. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them a few times now and it’s been awesome to watch their family grow and to be able to photograph their adorable kiddos. I really fell in love with so many images from their session so I had a hard time narrowing down the ones I wanted to show.I have a lot of beautiful families to show off, so I’ll hopefully get a chance to do that this week or next!

Me blogging this next family is WAY overdue! They were so awesome to work with and it’s been great getting to know them. Dad plays for the Arizona Diamondbacks and he gave us the awesome opportunity to watch his team play the Padres this summer. They are a super gorgeous family, inside and out. I also love the fact that they have a Brayden (the new little guy) just like we do.

Happy Hump Day everyone!!! I am excited to share this session from back in August of this gorgeous family because they were soooo much fun to work with. Not only were laid-back and ready to have fun, but they had THE happiest baby ever. Apparently, this little cutie did not smile for her prior photo session back in their hometown, but you would never know it after looking at these pictures. She was all sorts of smiley and was a complete joy to photograph. And boy is she an exact clone of her daddy or what?!!??

Ok, now I’m off to clean. I drank a Venti Iced Coffee this morning without eating any breakfast. Caffeine Jitters galore over here!!!!

I mentioned in an earlier blog post that I’ve been photographing this family since Caroline (the older munchkin) was born. I have had so much fun watching her grow and now watching her little sister Maddy grow. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of documenting a family’s life and I feel so, so honored that they have MY pictures of their family adorning their walls. They really all are so beautiful, inside and out, and I look forward to capturing them again here in a few months for Christmas pictures!!

It’s been a busy month over here! We went on an 8 day trip to Maui and sessions have been in full force since I’ve gotten home. I’ve met so many amazing and beautiful people in the last month. Here are some recent pics from the sessions I haven’t had a chance to blog yet along with a couple from Hawaii!!!!

These two are cousins and were so fun and hilarious. I have many more to share from their family shoot out on this gorgeous property!

These are cousins from a 16 family member session I did recently! This group of kids (a couple aren’t pictured as they are running behind this crew) were also SO much fun and we captured some really great moments.

This is Kalli at around 2 weeks old. . . isn’t she gorgeous?? She is the daughter of one of my best friends from back in high school!

Little Nicholas was an adorable 2 week old little man!!!! Loved his sweet, red lips!

These next two beautiful girlies are from one of my favorite client families. I’ve been photographing them since little Caroline (below) was a newborn!

This little beauty came with her two bigger brothers to my studio for her 3 month portraits. . .we even managed some sleeping ones of her!

Aren’t they breathtaking? Love this image of 8 year old big brother and his 2 week old sister.

I’m missing a few sessions that were this past week, but I hope to show some of those soon!!!

And these last two are of my own from Maui!! <3

So, first of all, I haven’t fallen of the planet. . .yet, anyway.I have been busy with sessions, but more importantly I have been busy with summer fun and my family. Last summer I was so insanely busy that after spending most of it glued to the computer, I swore up and down I wouldn’t do that to my kids again. This summer has been awesome so far and it’s been so.much.fun to just be mom for much of it and take the kids here, there, and everywhere. We’ve been to Legoland, the beach, the park, the County Fair, multiple ice cream shops, tent camping and inner-tubing on a little river, and more! Next week we leave for Hawaii and I am just over the moon that we can take our kids there this summer. I can’t wait to show them the warm, beautiful blue water in Maui and just relax and have fun.

I’ve still been doing sessions and having a ton of fun with the families I’ve gotten to hang out with this past month and hope to share all of those sessions soon. I am SO incredibly blessed by the people I get to “work” with and they really make my job incredible. Here is one huge share of a recent beach session for an extended family over on Coronado Beach. They were all awesome to be around and we got some great images of their family together!

“Faithful friends are beyond price: No amount can balance their worth.”

Our family has been blessed beyond measure with some amazing friendships. It really makes life so much more enjoyable when you can share it with those people. The family below has been a huge part of our life over the years and they mean the world to us. We’ve seen each others kids grow up and we’ve made some really amazing memories together. I know we’ll have many more years of fun memories to make and I am SO very thankful for that!

Well, as you can tell below, I’ve been a VERY bad blogger. So I’m trying to make up for it in one long post! I have been racking myself with guilt lately that I am not one of those amazing bloggers who always has something witty to say and a story to tell. But I’ve come to realize that I just can’t be that person at this time in my life. A lot of time and energy goes into blogging like that and I applaud those who can do it. Maybe someday I’ll be able to blog regularly. . .when all the kids are in school and I find myself with extra time (does that actually happen?!?!?). For the meantime, I hope you’ll take me as I am. Imperfect and trying to do my best in so many facets of my life. I guess that is what being a mom/wife is all about.

I think it’s so easy to lose grips with what this job really is for me. I get so caught up sometimes with everything else BUT the main goal, that it’s easy to lose sight of my purpose. As cliche as it sounds, I want to be that window to your soul and the person who stops time just for an instant. I look back at pictures of my “baby” (2.5 now!) and it makes me teary to think how fast this all has gone. He’s probably ready to be potty-trained and yet a piece of me mourns that I will have no more in diapers and that means there will be no more babies in our home. I can’t imagine not capturing those fleeting moments in his life, those stages that pass so fast. I love being able to do this for others. If you saw me smiling and giggling while looking through your session, you’d probably think I was nuts. But I get so involved in the emotion and joy captured, that it just makes my heart sing. That is my purpose. To give you the gift of a moment stopped in time. If your memory is anything like mine (terrible!), those moments and stages on “film” are priceless and something you can’t get back.

Enough with the rambling and on to the pictures!

First is Baby Nicolas! He was such an easy-going sweet little guy.

This gorgeous family was eager to have some photos of them all together on the beach. They were so much fun to work with and so laid-back and easy to capture.

Next comes little Alexandra who was so perfect and small. I had so much fun with her! Check out those amazing eyelashes!

This stunning family wanted some pictures of them and their gorgeous little 3-month old man, Damon. His momma looks like a super-model doesn’t she??

I’ll be showing more from these next four sessions soon hopefully!! One stunning infant, one deliciously adorable one-year old, and two photogenic seniors. How much better can it get?!?!?!

Thanks for looking and thank you to all of my wonderful, amazing clients I’ve had lately. You all rock!

xoxo,

Kristin

Meet perfectly gorgeous Isla and her perfectly gorgeous family. I don’t have much to say except that I am so in love with these images and the love and joy that radiates is so amazing. And seriously how freakin cute is big brother??? Kristy is a very talented Long Beach photographer and it meant a lot that she chose me to capture her family. Without further adieu!

Thank you G family for driving such a long way to have me capture this time for you. It was a huge compliment and I couldn’t be more thankful!! Your family is perfect in every way and you are so blessed!!!!!!

xoxo,

Kristin
