I was so excited when my friends, Crystal and Dave asked me to photograph them and their family for their 10 year anniversary.  We decided on Old Town Pasadena at the City Hall Building.  I love the light and architecture there. It’s one of my favorite places to photograph.

Crystal had this cute idea to make a sign saying “10 years later…” It turned out so cute with her family pictures.

The cuties, James and Olive.

I love the light in Pasadena’s City Hall.  It is beautiful every time I go there.

I had one of the best photo sessions at Lacy Park in San Marino with these cute twins.  We got to run and jump and play together, while getting some pretty cool photographs of their family.

Playing “Ring Around the Rosie”.  All fall down!

Happy Independence day from our family to yours! We will be having a barbeque, swimming and setting off small fireworks with our kids.  What do you have planned today?

Our boys love Nora, always wanting to hug and kiss her, which actually bugs her sometimes when she is trying to do something else.  She is 11 months now and crawling all over the place.  She likes to pull up to standing and cruise, but no walking yet.  I think she’s a bit more cautious than our boys were, at this age they were running around already!  I think she is so cute in this little 4th of July ruffle romper.

Here is one of my favorite families.  I have several shoots to share with them.  But here is our first family session at Lacy Park in San Marino.  It was a beautiful day.

Griffin loved to run and run.  He was happiest walking on his own or being swung between mom and dad.

After a quick outfit change, we headed to the playground for some more pictures.

Griffin paused in his playing long enough to read a book – a classic:  The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

It’s that time of year again!  Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner? I am excited to announce two three dates of mini sessions: October, 27th, November 3rd and 10th.  This is a perfect time to get some pictures of your family for holiday cards and gifts.  This year I am offering two different locations – Recreation Park and Eaton Canyon.
