I last photographed this family when they were a family of four. They have grown by one, and what a cute one he is! The boys were so good with their little brother. We even got some silly shots that show a little bit how fun and crazy a family with 3 boys can be!
Our blog circle challenge this month was editorial photography. Editorial photography is typically the photos that accompany an article about a certain subject. I wanted to incorporate my boys and their current interests. Reading has been becoming more important to both of my boys. My youngest is just learning and my oldest is racking up pages for his goal in class (and loving it, happily!). We have also been trying to learn more about the history of the area that we live, so an editorial about the Katie Wheeler Library seemed like the perfect choice. The library is located in the Irvine Historic Park. Katie Wheeler was the granddaughter of James Irvine, and she was born in the house. It was the Irvine family home, built in 1908, until it was destroyed by fire in 1965. Luckily, it was rebuilt in 2008 to be as accurate as possible to the original home and became the Katie Wheeler Library. We had a great time checking out the building and reading books together. It is such a great place to read a book, you feel like you are in a cozy home rather than a library. Afterwards we walked around the Historic Park and checked out the grounds and neighboring buildings.

I love photographing the same families and getting to know them and their little ones. I first photographed this family when they were pregnant with their sweet baby girl. She is getting so big and FULL of personality – and style!
I joke that this is my “most photographed family”, but they really are! The first time I photographed them at this beach big sister wasn’t even one year old. I can’t believe it! The best part is that mom prints and hangs so many photos – I love seeing them. We print so few photos these days, it is a good reminder to get some family photos up on our walls!
In love with this session and the beautiful moments you captured of my family! Booking soon for our Winter session! Thank you Kim for your talents!
These boys are just awesome. I photographed them last spring and was so excited to photograph them again! It’s great to watch them give each other a little bit of a hard time, while it is obvious how much they love each other!
[…] As a reminder, there are more photographers in our group so be sure to keep going to see what they did with this month’s theme. Up next, Kimberly Skeen Photography | Orange County, CA Family Photographer. […]
Oh my goodness! What a perfect take on the theme! Your images perfectly matched your written description. Beautiful images!
What a beautiful place Kim! I will have to add that to my places to see here in Orange County! It looks like the boys had a great time!
What a wonderful take on something that I’m sure so many take for granted. I would love to have such a beautiful library as such. Your images tell the perfect story! You should TOTALLY submit these to a local magazine!
Oh my gosh, these are precious! I love that you so beautifully documented this stage in their lives… Gorgeous work!
I could totally see theses images in a article about this library. My favorite is the one of your boys reading under the tree, but i love them all!
What a beautiful place! great job of capturing images that along perfectly with the lesson. My favorite was the boys outside in the driveway with the house waaaay in the back ground. Very cool shot!
What a great take on the theme. Beautiful images.
Kim–these are amazing! I love how you chose the perfect location to photograph your boys. I love the detail shots of the book pages and hands too. Wonderful work!
