I am so lucky to have met such wonderful families over the last couple of months!  I look forward to the families that I have yet to photograph.  There is something special about having photos of your family just the way they are.  Remembering each persons personalities and characteristics.  Especially of kids who change with every year that passes.

Thank you to all of you who have let me into your families, allowed me to be your daughter's bff for the day, run around with your boys, and rub your tummies.   Your items are being delivered this week so keep an eye out for the post :).

Who says you need a studio with lights and boring black backgrounds?  Shot this session in all natural light.  The above photo is the original edited version with the plain wall.  The second, is the artistic version.  Which do you like more? 

And... I love it because she's my cousin :).  Stay tuned for waaay more photos !

When Mandy uploaded a photo of her ultrasound with baby Jahzara, I was so elated for her.  You see, Mandy has experienced college life at UCLA, traveled the world, and has had many great experiences.  Now she and JB are on the path to being parents.  Jahzara means "Princess" and she is truly blessed to have parents who are so excited to welcome her into the world.

We met up on the shore of Laguna Beach on what was supposed to be a rainy day.  Luckily, we had only grey clouds and soft light.

Mandy & JB:  Thank you for allowing me to photograph such a special time in Jahzara's life and in your lives.  I can't wait to see baby Jahzara and welcome her to this world as well!

With much love,

Jackie
