playing at the beach in Pacific Palisades - {Bay Area Family Photographer}

It was so fun doing a session in my hometown, Pacific Palisades, at a spot I came to a lot as a kid, Will Rogers Beach. You would think being a Californian photographer that you get many opportunities for beach photos but I actually only get to do them ever so often, and when I do I love it! I loved that this family just all played with each other and we got such great candid photos of them just being together having fun. I love when a family can just interact and not even really pay attention to me - its the best...just them, the beach, lots of pelicans (I guess there are a lot of anchovies in the water drawing an influx of birds to Will Rogers Beach) and playing. Thank you for all the smiles and allowing me to just come along to your family beach day.

i found a friend - {Bay Area Family Photographer}

I'm so excited for this sweet family to have a new addition very soon! I have been photographing them ever since Mari was tiny and I think this is the first time she finally realized I was there. I love it when kids all of sudden notice me taking their photos and frosting on the cake when they like me and like having their photo taken. We got all smiles as soon as Mari wanted me as her friend, thanks for choosing me Mari to be your friend and I hope we can have many more play dates together. Can't wait to meet your new baby brother or sister in just a few short months!
