Family--Tustin, California

Once again, I was blessed with an opportunity to shoot a cute, adorable family. Meet Robin and Scott, and their two beautiful girls.

We met three years ago, when we first came back to California from New Jersey. They were our small group leaders; it was friendship at first sight for us. They are still serving faithfully at their church today, their warm spirits and giving hearts always humble me.

Tustin is such a cute little town. It is like finding a hidden treasure for me to discover such a cute place when, all along, I live only 30 minutes away from it.

Summer....is here.

It is summer all year long here in Southern California. We go to the beach during the Christmas Season, have ice cream in February, and complain that it is never cold enough to wear those cute coats advertised at The Gap.

Nevertheless, summer is here. You see it everywhere.

Family--Santa Ana, CA

I had the privilege to do a family portrait session this past weekend.

Meet Hermelinda, and her adorable family. We have known each other for more than ten years now, and she has always been a wonderful example for me. She is a courageous woman of God, who is not afraid to step out and stand up for Christ. I have always loved this part about her; she has taught me so much in my walk with Christ.

This is her husband, Kurt, and her lovable, kissable, hug-able little boy, Peyton. Kurt has been an amazing husband, and an incredible father. And Peyton. Oh, little Peyton. I thank God for this family.

Fashion Island, Newport Beach, CA

One thing about living here in Southern California is..there are many beautiful places. This was one of them. Fashion Island, an outdoor mall, built right across the street from the Pacific Ocean, in the heart of Orange County. Beautiful mall, beautiful merchandise in beautiful stores (that I can not afford).

Beautiful place to photograph, as well.

Tutu, my little tutu

This is one of those posts that I will just let the pictures do the writing.

How fun it is to have a girl...and you can tell, she enjoyed every single moment.

Every, single, moment.
