this lovely group of people came together from different states to celebrate their patriarch’s 95th birthday. we all met at laguna beach and photographed them in all kinds of combinations – there were 41 of them altogether!!

another wonderful family that wanted family pics before the holidays – they had a great time playing around in their backyard and kitchen and stairway… very sweet family, lots of fun!!!

one of my greatest joys is photographing my nieces who are turning 4 this month and i recently was privileged to photograph their entire family, including cooper, their golden retriever. we shot on the beach in laguna and had a terrific time! in our family we make sure to photograph everyone a few times a year. people change so much, and it’s great to look around the house and see family portraits smiling back at me!!
