Ventura Family Photography: Ryan and Katie

When I was home recently Southern California decided to have amazing weather and I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend part of my Sunday afternoon than at the beach taking photos.  My brother in law and his family hadn't taken photos since my niece was very young so we decided we'd sneak in a quick mini-session.  It probably wasn't his first choice for a Sunday afternoon activity, but Ryan was a good sport anyway! 

To top it off, he recently proposed to Katie and we are very excited that they are now planning their wedding.  So it was a fun time to show off her new ring and celebrate their engagement with some photos of just the two of them as well.  And of course, from a totally unbiased point of view, my niece is super cute!  I love spending time with them.



Enjoy!

Seriously, how gorgeous does Katie look here?  And you can see where my niece gets her looks from!

Ventura County Newborn Photographer: Baby Emma

This shoot was really special for me for several reasons.  First, I was able to photograph a newborn baby before she was even two weeks old, which is the perfect time to schedule a newborn session.  Second, baby Emma is the cousin of another cutie I've photographed and I can't wait to photograph the girls together someday!  Last but not least, being invited into someone's home just after the birth of their baby is so amazing and Jenny and Joe honored me immensely by asking me take some of the first photos of them as a family.

I'm sure you'll agree after seeing some of my favorite photos that Emma is an absolutely adorable!  When I look back at the photos it's hard not to just eat her up.  Jenny and Joe are such natural, loving parents the entire session was such a pleasure.



Enjoy!
