The Medina Family | Balboa Park, San Diego & Windansea Beach, La Jolla, CA

Our husbands are pretty much BFFs and so my kids and I have the privilege of spending lots of time with these beautiful people. And I love these images almost as much as I love this family. The whole shoot was magic... the twins, the wardrobe, the mood... well done, you guys. This is going to be hard to top.

The Ryan Family | Scripps Pier, La Jolla Shores, CA

This cutest of families was such a pleasure to spend the evening with. They were so relaxed and happy just to be hanging out together at their favorite beach... it made me daydream that in 15 years from now my own husband and kids are as happy to indulge my requests for a family shoot!

The Schoeny Family | La Jolla Shores, CA

I was lucky enough to do the Schoeny's first family portraits years ago and am so glad they moved back from the east coast so I can shoot their beautiful babies. I mean, those eyes! Love my job.

Matt & Jess | La Jolla Shores & Balboa Park, San Diego, CA

We lucked out with another perfect fall day for this double-location engagement shoot. Jess and Matt are New York City transplants due to be married in the Midwest next fall... its all so transcontinental and romantic. It was great meeting you two, congratulations and thanks for running around San Diego with me!

Hachtman Family | La Jolla, CA

Six months ago to the day of this shoot I photographed this gorgeous family at the birth of that sweet baby Jonas! Heidi is one of my closest and most cherished friends and I can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy while looking through these. I love those little boys like they are my own and was proud of them for being so incredibly smiley and cooperative. Even Gordon was a great sport (wink wink). Good work, team!

Medina Family | Pacific Beach, CA

This family is a favorite of ours. My husband works with that cute daddy and they have each other's backs, which makes the fact that my daughter and I love those girls and the mommy even better! We had so much fun running around on the (ridiculously crowded) beach together that it was hard to narrow down the cute candid shots I got. I'm glad I got to capture your beautiful family again, thanks Medinas!
