Orange County, California Family and Child Photographer
This is my second time photographing this awesome family! I photographed this session with them last year when they were expecting their baby girl! I can’t believe she is almost one. She is one very lucky little girl, with two caring big brothers to look out for her!
This month’s Project 12 blog circle theme was soulful. Soulful….hmmm….to me that can mean so many things. When I was thinking of what to shoot for this challenge, I kept picturing a somber face with large, expressive eyes. With my kiddos, that just wasn’t going to happen! Truthfully, I don’t think it would be “them” too often. When I think of soul and kids, I think of playing. That is what should be most joyous and what they are meant to do at 6 and 8 years old. So, I set out with my boys to play. We played at the park during baseball practice, and I managed to get some images I liked of my little man. The big man is suffering of a long term case of PCS (Photographer’s Child Syndrome), especially when his friends are present (not my best laid plan!). I hope to get started early next month and feature my big guy for a change.

I have been photographing this family for a few years now, but this year was special because we did an extended family shoot. They are so sweet and the kids always do so great! We enjoyed the amazingly warm beach weather for this time of year and had fun shooting some silhouettes at the end of the session!
I am so happy to be continuing on with my Project 12 Portraits blog circle group. I am really looking forward to the themes we have planned for this year. This month’s theme was Reflection, and we could interpret it however we would like. I had big aspirations for this one, but as usual life got in the way and we were just too busy to put some of those plans into motion! I am kind of glad we did, because my little guy was really excited about this challenge and he got a kick out of seeing two of himself and giving himself some love! Visit the blog of my friend Allison Jacobs, Orange County photographer, to see how she saw this challenge – I can guarantee it will be beautiful!

Oh I love the first one! Your son is so darn cute! I love his hair.
Oh, he’s presh! I love the last one! As the mom of a boy, I think boys faces are SO telling. Love these!
Kimberly, these are both fantastic! I especially love his sweet expression in that last one–just adorable!
Joyous indeed! I love these!I love the environment that you photographed him in too. Also very telling of where he is at this stage of life! 🙂
Kid + happy + play = soulful! Perfect!! How true is that statement, the soul of a kid is most definitely play! I love the images especially the second one!
He is just too cute for words! Love the environmental portrait style you choose this month!
I like the environmental style of your shoot this month… I think we forget all too quickly what elementary school looked or felt like. That flag wall is totally rockin’ and your boys hair is a dream! Great shots!
these are perfect, kimberly and your conversions are stunning! beautiful work!
I think I say it every time but he is just too dang cute!!! I love that first picture.
