The S Family | Orange Family Photographer

The last time I photographed the S family baby Jocelynn was a newborn. I can’t believe how big she has gotten, she is almost 6 months old! She is such a happy and mellow baby and big sister Katelynn takes such good care of her. Her mom brought this vintage stroller for this session and I think it worked perfectly.

Joelle’s Bat Mitzvah | Aliso Viejo and Orange County Bat Mitzvah Photographer

I have been away for my blog for a little while as I catch up with all my holiday sessions. I thought this would be a great kick off post to all the lovely families that are coming soon. Joelle celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at the end of October, and it was an amazing event! She is such a beautiful and polished young lady! Here are just a few from the many photos of the day.


The ceremony photos were all taken from behind glass in a back room. I rented the 70-200/2.8 II zoom and it made the job so much easier. It has taken it’s place on the top of my wish list!

The party was held at the beautiful Aliso Viejo Conference Center.

Melissa - November 28, 2011 - 5:25 pm

Fantastic job on these! She looks like such a fun girl. I know her parents will be thrilled with these images.

Danielle - November 28, 2011 - 6:06 pm

The T Family | Orange, CA Family Photographer

I got in big trouble with my boys when I returned from shooting this session! My boys love Jack and Ty. They don’t see them often enough but they talk about them all the time. They would have loved to tag along but I’m sure it would have been pure craziness if they had! It’s safe to say lots of water and dirt would have been involved. This session was extra special because they have added a new little brother to their family. He is such a cutie with such a sweet smile. I can tell these three brothers are going to get in lots of trouble have lots of fun together. Seriously, Keith and Shelly are the most fun parents I know, so they will have no trouble keeping up with their boys. I love you guys:)!

Sarah - November 2, 2011 - 1:56 am
