{A} & {M}

A few weeks back I talked about how it is commonly asked if I have any wall space left with all the portraits I must have of my children to which I honestly told you that while I certainly have a few favorites around the house, I really don't have many {"professional"} photos of them around. I truly spend so much time planning, shooting and editing other people's photos that so many of my projects really tend to get put on the back burner. So to add to our very small collection I took the kids for their own mini session with Mommy and boy am I glad I did! They may fight but they {LOVE} so much harder. I am one lucky Mama, here are my 2 most favorite people in the world {A} & {M}.

Not to be {BIASED} or anything but aren't they the {CUTEST EVER}!

The {T} Family

Where would I be without the {LOVE} & {SUPPORT} of my {FRIENDS} & {FAMILY}. I can not express how grateful I am to have had the pleasure of shooting so many of our friends and their special moments. I was in the Bay area last week and I could barely contain my excitement to get to have a session with these {DEAR} friends! Meet The {T} Family!

& My favorite shot of the session "Keepin it {REAL} people!"

The {C} Family | Yucaipa Family Photographer

Meet the {C} Family! Firstly, I {ADORE} every single candid moment this family gave during their session. The {Love} & {Happiness} in this family literally shines through in every captured moment! Little Miss C is too precious & doesn't Little Mr. C's smiles just take over and make you smile too!!!! Smiles are contagious y'all!

Mommy & Me | Yucaipa Family Photographer

So often, moms get left out of the family photos, because we are the ones behind the cameras, or because we're waiting until we lose just those next ten pounds. But, as we moms already know, all too well, our children grow fast.  Before we know it, we can end up excluding ourselves from our families photographic history all together. That is why Mommy & Me sessions have a very special place in my heart. They quite honestly, could be some of the most cherished gifts you'll give your children!

It's a Twin Thing! {sisters} | Redlands Child & Family Photography

How lucky are these {DARLING} twin sisters to have such a special & unique bond that literally radiates in every step and photograph they take?! From the moment they walked up to our session their energy bounced right off of one another and made every moment one to be captured! I never know how a session with siblings will go but these {BEAUTIES} were such a pleasure to photograph & is it not clear where they get their {GORGEOUS} looks & smiles from?!
