Summer in November - Orange County Family Photographer

Fall held out for a few more days so this beautiful family could have a perfect evening for family portraits. I love photographing friends because I'm not quite so self conscience when goofing off to make the kids laugh. (They're laughing with me, not at me!)

Gorgeous parents, happy kids, who could ask for more?



and the requisite toes-in-the-sand shot


But the rest are the ones that really make me all gooey inside...

Matthew, doing what boys do, looking for critters...

and little Catie, toes in the sand, little sundress, quiet, sweet, beauty.

daddy and his little girl, checkin' out the world together...melts my heart.


and speaking of melting hearts. This is *the* moment of the day.

Thank you R family for letting me spend an evening with you all.
