Orange County Family Photographer | Family Time

Well, Summer is officially here! It is time to get out and the enjoy the sun, bbq and have fun with your family & friends.  Last weekend we went to Arizona for a few days, so we could visit with my family and some old friends from back east.  A friend from high school was visiting who I have been friends with for over 20 years.  Also visiting was a childhood friend of my mom’s.  I got to do a few shots of them, friends for over 48 years…how amazing is that?  Stay tuned for those in the next few days.

The other night we got to go on a boat cruise in the Newport Beach Harbor aboard The Electric Riverboat Angela Louise.  It was a beautiful night to cruise and watch the boats sail by.  I just love Summer and love being by the water, whether it is to relax in the pool or take a stroll by the beach.

It is also a great time of year because we get to meet some fabulous new families as they celebrate their moments over the summertime.  Here is a special family session we did to celebrate parents over Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.  Tu-Han contacted us because she wanted to do a family portrait session with her siblings as a combined gift to their parents for Mother’s and Father’s Day.  We were happy to celebrate with them, so off to the park we go to capture some awesome family moments.  Enjoy, J+D

I love this shot of Tu-Han and her dog.  He made it into a few of the shots with the family!

Emmi’s First Birthday | Orange County Family Photographer

Happy New Year to all of you! It has been a busy holiday season and after a lot of fabulous moments with family, friends, clients and many miles driven (we traveled about 1500 miles over the week of Christmas and New Year’s), we welcome 2010.

Yesterday, I attended my first yoga class of 2010. My instructor shared a little point that another student brought to her attention that I would like to share with all of you. “It is not just a New Year we are starting but a New Decade of our lives!”  Not only was my yoga class great but I walked away with a wonderful outlook for this new year.

We are really looking forward to a fabulous new year as our business continues to grow. Our family and friends are so important to us and we wish all of them much happiness and success in 2010. Speaking of family, we celebrated our dear niece Emmi’s first birthday on New Year’s Eve. Here are a few photos I wanted to share from her birthday celebration, I can’t believe Miss Emmi is already a year old!

Cheers to a fabulous 2010! J+D

Christmas Eve, Jonson+Samantha+Three | Orange County Family Photographer

I am so excited it is Christmas Eve! We will be heading out this afternoon to Chandler, Arizona to spend Christmas with my mom, uncle and sisters. Before we head out though, I wanted to make sure I got to this post.  As I promised 5 days ago, I was going to do a holiday portrait session post each day until Christmas and I am one to keep my word. This post features Jonson, Samantha, Sophia, August and Tatiana. If you are wondering, yes they are triplets! I saved this one for last because I felt that it was quite an accomplishment, I mean we got triplets to not only cooperate for their holiday photos, but just look absolutely adorable as well. We first met the family on Halloween when we shot their one year birthday celebration and were so happy they asked us to do their holiday portrait as well.  We look forward to watching these three grow and just want to wish them all a very happy holidays season! Cheers, J+D

2 days til Christmas, Mark+Randee+Lyla | Orange County Family Photographer

It is getting close! Only 2 more days until the Christmas holiday is upon us. I just love that all across the world there will be families sharing their first Christmas with a new baby. Such an exciting time as your family grows and now you have new memories to be made. We were so excited to share a first Christmas with Mark, Randee and Lyla. Here baby Lyla is about 9 weeks old as we take her first portraits with her parents. Thanks to Mark and Randee for sharing some of your first family moments with us. Congratulations on your new little one and we wish you all a fabulous holiday season. Cheers, J+D

3 days til Christmas, Loren+Sondra+Darian+Connor=Family | Orange County Family Photographer

With only 3 days until Christmas, I have another great family to share with you from our holiday portrait sessions.  Recently, we met Loren and Sondra at an event for local Orange County Bloggers. The two have a blog called “Land of Gracious Living” which is about living in Yorba Linda, California and their communities events. Sondra really wanted to update her family photo and what better time than during the holidays!  A big thanks goes out to Loren, Sondra, Darian and Connor for sharing their holidays with us.  Enjoy, J+D

4 days til Christmas, Brian+Shannon+Ben a holiday portrait | Orange County Family Photographer

The countdown continues with only 4 days left til Christmas. Today we share with you the holiday session of Brian, Shannon and Benjamin.  Here Ben is almost 10 months old and this session was part of the celebration of Ben’s first Christmas.  He is such a cute little boy, I just love his red hair!  I am so glad we got to be a part of such a big moment in this families life. We wish them a very happy holiday as they celebrate their first Christmas as a family. Enjoy, J+D
