The Bownes | Claremont Colleges Family Session

"There she is!" I heard.

And then all of the sudden, the cutest little squealing guy dressed in a vest came running up to me with arms wide open. He ran across the grass with his arms up and a big smile on his face, and and then gave me the biggest jump hug! It was THE BEST, and I wish I had recorded that whole welcome because it's definitely the kind of thing you re-watch when you need a pick-me-up! Ahh, Atticus, I hope you keep that spirit and joy with you forever. (can you pick out the little man below? :) )

I admire this family so much. We met about 15 years ago when Kathyrn and I were in National Charity League together, and we've stayed close every since. Their family is full of love, kindness, style, servant hearts, travel bugs, Italy lovers, art history buffs, and lots and lots and lots of laughs. They live in four different states, but they travel often to see each other and never let distance keep them apart. (We also did family photos together 2 years ago - see their first session here)

Love you all so much and so happy we were able to get together over the holidays for your family photo session at Bridges Auditorium!

And of course, a little photo of me + Kathryn (who was also the maid of honor in my wedding and college roommate). Love you fry!

Chea Family | Orange County Fall Mini Session

,

From our first hello, I could tell this family was filled with so much love. Jenny, you had such a warmth about you and it was so very clear at your fall session that your kids and husband love you very much!

Mini sessions are often perfect for younger kiddos, because they're long enough to get the shots we need, but not too long where we end in total meltdown. The little one from this session did great, and definitely wanted just cuddle time with mommy towards the end. In any case, we were able to get beautiful pictures in a short amount of time... perfect. So not to fear mommas, I can make some magic even if your littles last just a few minutes!

And their outfits... so great! I love when families choose one main color and then have everyone wear various shades of that color along with some neutrals. I love the different shades of blue paired with greys and tans. And the little guy's shoes... they're baby Toms! Ahh! Who doesn't love Toms?

Interested in a fall mini session in Orange County? I have a few spots left in Brea & Orange in October and November!

As an Orange County lifestyle photographer, I just love love. Whether you're a dating or engaged couple madly in love, or a married couple with that deep, soulful love, your relationship and these precious moments and stages in your life are worth documenting.

And if you're still thinking of what to get your sweetheart for Valentine's Day, this is for you! For the very first time, I'm so very excited to announce Sweetheart Mini Sessions! These will take place AFTER Valentine's Day so you can surprise your sweetie with this session as a Valentine's Day gift, and then have the fun experience together with just the two of you (well, and me behind the camera :) ). I recommend you make a fun date day/night of it - get ready together, play some fun music on the drive over, then grab coffee or dinner after - you'll be all done up, after all!

After you purchase your mini session & select your time, I'll email you a fun little printable with info about the session that you can include in a cute little Valentine's Day card <3

The Griffiths | Inland Empire Christmas Photo Session

,

I am so utterly in love with these photos. I literally can't pull my eyes away from them and these pretty pops of red have certainly got me in the Christmas spirit. I love when clients incorporate the colors of the seasons into their outfits for their photo sessions, and the Griffiths certainly hit perfection in this category. I loved their mix of red with various patterns and textures, and their little girl's tights with little sparkly shoes... I die. She looked like an adorable, sassy little doll <3 :)

For their Christmas photo session, we picked a woodsy park in the Inland Empire with lots of gorgeous natural light, and it was perfect.

When Erin and Jon saw their photos for the first time they said, "Oh. My Gosh!!!! We are dying over here Kristen!!! Absolutely incredible!!! Our hearts are so happy! You captured our sweet baby girl & us so amazingly! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!"

This is exactly why I am a lifestyle family photographer. I LOVE to create experiences that make families fall in love with each other all over again. It reminds you that there truly are some beautiful, lovely things in this world that are worth fighting for <3

I'm now booking full experience sessions for 2017!
