Family Holiday Session: David Family

Last month I was asked to photograph the David Family and was determined to find a location suited for them. With all the holidays coming up, Angel and Jeff decided to have their family session at Old Town Orange before the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. It was a beautiful Sunday morning in Orange, it was cold and gloomy but perfect for photos.

I had great time working with Angel, Jeff and their two beautiful daughters and would definitely work with them again. Thanks for having me photograph your family. It was definitelly my pleasure. Here are a few photos from their session.

Family Portraits Session: Leif Family

With each Family portrait session, I take pride in what I do. For the Lief family, we has a simple session in the front yard. Nothing to fancy in choosing to go to the park or downtown or a favorite spot. The option in the front yard was perfect. Having each other side-by-side in photographs to cherish the moment was good enough for them. Here are some favorite shots of mine.

Family Portraits: Pajarito Family

These past few weeks I have been busy shooting family portraits. One of my favorites was shooting the Pajarito family.

A family of two, now to a family of 6!!! Here are few of my favorite shots. I had a lot of fun shooting with the traditional family poses and of course my all time favorite capture the moment candid shots.
