Finters Maternity Session

Last weekend I got to do a maternity session for some of my best friends, Nina and Landon. Nina is just one week ahead of me in her pregnancy so it's always fun to chat about how each of us are doing. We went down to Pearl Street Beach in Laguna Beach (which was such a beautiful beach!). We got a little bit of rain, but Nina and Landon were such good sports about all of it and they still looked beautiful! Overall, we all had a great time and I think the photos turned out really well. I'm so excited to meet the Finters' Baby Boy next month!

This was after our session was over and we were just standing and chatting. I love being able to capture moments like this!

The cutest baby bump

One of my favorites

Corona Del Mar

A couple months ago we had a really rough day. We were still working on the whole transition to one nap and so I had a very grumpy toddler. We did what anyone would (or at least should) do and headed to the ocean for some much needed bonding/happy time. It helped sooo much! Plus, I got to take these beautiful pictures of London. ;)

Loves the ocean just like her Mama

This kid could play all day in sand if I let her

Favorite picture of the day and a much happier toddler

Oldham Family

Last Saturday I got to take family pictures of some of our favorite people from San Clemente. Meet the Oldham family. They have the cutest little toddler who's only a couple months older than London.

We met up at the prettiest beach in Dana Point and got to catch up while I took their photos. My husband and London tagged along to also enjoy the great weather and see our friends. Check out some of their photos below:

I love this one. 

I always love all of my family sessions, but I especially enjoy all the ones with toddlers. They're always just so much fun and so rewarding.

It was so great catching up with friends and re-introducing our kids to each other!

Seaman Family

Isn't this such a cute family?! I had such a fun session last week with the Seaman family. We went down to Balboa Beach and took photos over by the docks and boats. It was a neat little place to check out and I loved getting to know the Seamans!

What a good-looking family!

These boys were so great the whole session! 

Such a cute couple!

These photos were taken near Balboa Fun Zone, Newport, CA.

Crystal Cove State Beach

My family and I went down to Crystal Cove State Beach Saturday afternoon. It was so perfect. Our little girl, London, is becoming more and more "grown up". It's been neat to see her want to explore more. She had a blast looking for birds and lizards and her favorite part was playing in the sand with her toes. It's great that she loves the beach as much as we do.

Recently I got some new editing software that I've been playing around with. It's been tough, but I'm beginning to get used to it and learning how to use it. I edited all these photos with the new software and I think they came out pretty well, don't you?
