Rodriguez Family.

I met with the Rodriguez family at the park in Spring Valley Lake and I knew that this would be an energetic session! Mia and Ian are such an adorable sister and brother combo. Ian was a little camera shy and a bit afraid of bugs, but big sister Mia was always there to help him be brave and make him laugh. I had such a good time capturing their fun personalities. We just spent the afternoon exploring the park and playing on the playground equipment.

Ricardo and Hilda, thank you for choosing me as your photographer. I enjoyed spending time with your fun little family. Hope you like your photos! :)

I'm not sure what it is about this photo, but I love it!





Aren't they too cute?











The pretty ladies of the family. :)



I told Mia and Ian to run toward me, Ian had WAY TOO MUCH FUN! :)



Awesome.

Love this.

The Mejia Family.

I'm so excited to be posting this family session today. From the first moment I met Shieva, I knew I would just love photographing and getting to know her and  her family. She just came up and gave me a hug, and I knew it was the start of a beautiful thing. Not to mention this family is just GORGEOUS. And their son was also my favorite male model I've ever worked with. ;)

So can you tell I'm a little excited about this one? We photographed this session up in Oak Glen, and although there wasn't as much "spring" on the trees as I had hoped, this family made my job so much fun because they really were willing to go anywhere to get the fun shots {even though they were dressed in regular tennis shoes and sandals while I was wearing boots}. This family is just so sweet together, and I felt very blessed to have been able to capture them.

Mejia Family, Thank you for choosing me as your photographer. It truly was a joy to meet you all, and I'm looking forward to working with you again in the future! :)



This is Nathan, he likes to tell me jokes.{He also thinks his jokes are WAY funnier than mine, sadly he's right!} :D





Loved this little area..



This black and white turned out to be one of my favorites.. there's just something I love about the way you can tell they love their kiddos.





This is adorable little Alyssa, aren't her pigtails some of the cutest around?





Alyssa is sort of a Daddy's girl. She wasn't too interested in smiling for me, but get her around Daddy, and she just lights up!





LOVE THIS.





Group hug!





We finished off the session with a little Daddy and Mommy time. Are they gorgeous together or what?







Beautiful.

Briana & Samantha: Graduating!

I met Briana and Samantha at Sunset Hills Memorial Park in Apple Valley and I knew right away they were both easygoing girls. We had a good time just walking around talking about high school and my complete lack of any athletic talent. They are both on the softball team at Granite Hills High School, and they have big dreams for the future. Briana has a beautiful little daughter and we had so much fun taking a few family photos.
Briana and Sam, Thanks so much for choosing me as your photographer. I enjoyed getting to know you both and your family! I hope you like your photos! Best wishes for life after High School ladies, I'll be cheering for you at graduation! :)

Miss Sam!











Here's Briana!





Briana got a tattoo to represent her adorable daughter.. :)
