Meet Citirne, a 4-year old little cutie. She is sweet, happy, independent, and has an abundance of energy. We started off the photo session at a cute boutique hotel in Huntington Beach, then strolled around town, and later went down to the beach for the sunset. :-)




She brought a little friend with her:




I adore her kong fu dance moves! The middle one cracks me up!


I like to play with children instead of asking them to stare and smile for the camera, so it’s fun to see Citrine lecturing her little friend: “Why don’t you smile? You need to smile for the camera.”


Little Citrine with her mom.

It’s play time!






A different mood…





After the photo shoot, Citrine gave me a hug and told me she had a happy day. It totally made my day!!! Thanks to my friend Trevona for taking this shot of us.

A few months ago, we did a series of maternity sessions with Reena (see post here: Maternity Session:: Reena and Hero Part II). Reena’s mom Anne saw the images and immediately fell in love with our style, so she asked her husband Roger to hire us to do their holiday family portraits. For this session I aimed to create a good mixture of relaxed, fun-loving outdoor portraits with a few indoor traditional looks. Below are some of our favorites form the session. Enjoy!
This shot was taken in front of their beautiful property nestled up in the hills:

What a gorgeous and happy family!

This next image is probably my favorite one from the set. I love how Roger carefully holds Anne’s hand, and I love Anne’s beaming smile. They look so beautiful together! XOXO

Love this one too!


More of the cute couple:

Reena’s brother Ricky is looking good here too. He just came came back from Kenya, and told us some very interesting stories from his travels:

Everybody’s fighting for picture time with little Lizzie:

I think Lizzie got her mom’s beautiful eyes:

Lastly, a traditional family portrait inside their beautiful home:

Thank you Anne and Roger for having us at your beautiful house! I hope these images bring you extra cheers for the holidays and years of continued happy memories.
