Fun Family in Palos Verdes

You know me, I'm a mush for a quirky kid with a mischievious smile.

And I'm no stranger to them either, I have two (three really) crazy ones at home but when I met little Ian over two years ago I was struck by love at first sight. It took a minute for him to warm up to me, actually it took the entire duration of our photo shoot but now on round three and a little sister added to the mix he and I are best buds.

Capturing this family's annual photo is so much fun. We ventured out to the cliffs of Palos Verdes walking around the park and staring at the lighthouse.

We looked on quietly as the researchers peered through their binoculars out at the waves trying to spot a whale or two. We didn't see any.... but the researchers said that 8 whales had been spotted since sunrise.

It took a lot of bribing but I finally got a smile out of Natalie, at the end of our session. Lollipops work wonders.

Manhattan Beach Family Photography

The Haney Family wanted new family portraits for Dylan's 1st Birthday.

We decided to head to Manhattan Beach and shoot at sunset.

We forgot it was memorial day weekend and that EVERYBODY else wanted to go to Manhattan Beach, silly me.

After canvassing the beach for a location without people I found a secluded lifeguard stand

and we set  up shop.

What great pics we got.

Dylan had so much fun!!!!

All she wanted to do was go into the surf, every chance she got she headed straight for it.

I can't blame her the waves were perfect and other than a few clouds we had the perfect weather.

Here are a few shots we got....
