There is something special about Southern California. Having lived in the Sacramento area my whole life, having an 85 degree day in early March (and January and February too...) is a trip. I love the warmth and the sun and how it makes for beautiful photos. We were actually all sweating during this session, but it was oh-so-worth it. San Jaun Capistrano is known for it's yellow flower field in the spring months. It really is beautiful, just like Jenny and her boys!
Lindsey is a photographer from Southern California, and in fact, I've known her for about 5 years online. We met for the first time in Las Vegas for WPPI just a few days before we had her session scheduled. I photograph quite a few photographers which I don't find odd at all. Lindsey has all of these adorable shots of her boys, but none of her in them. That's all too common among photographers, so it makes sense to have someone else do photos so that you can be a part of the session as well. We shot at a beautiful little park right near the coast in Rancho Palos Verdes. It was a cool, sunny day which I think matched Lindsey's own style - she seems to love things that are warm and soft, just like me! Together she and her boys read books, played with some vintage cameras, laughed, tickled, snuggled, and even flew a kite for the first time. There was a time when a session with two toddlers would have terrified me, and now I am proud to say that together I move through these sessions fairly easily, because when you allow the kids to just be themselves, everything becomes simple and the photos more natural. It helps that Lindsey's little guys were very well behaved! Enjoy! :)
Zane took a little spill in the grass. Good thing Daddy was there to brush the grass out of his mouth :) This is what being a 3 year old boy is all about!
I love nothing more than a happy toddler and two parents who are obviously completely smitten with their little boy. Here are a few of the photos from our recent mini session in Riverside!
