This session has been on my calendar for a while, and since, I’ve seen mom out and about several times! So I was excited to be able to get this family in front of my camera. I wanted a new adventure, and it’s been a while since I’ve photographed in Downtown Hollywood, so we headed down there for some smiles and some fun! These kiddos were much more interested in playing than posing, and that is just fine with me! We came up with lots of play that also created great images that capture this family’s loving energy!
One of the greatest joys as a family photographer is getting to watch a family grow up before your lens. I’ve had the privilege of photographing this family of four, then gender reveal, then newborn family of five, and now annually as baby girl is almost four! It’s always amazing to see them grow and change each year. And you see the physical changes as well as the subtle personality growths. And I hope mom and dad recall these moments fondly, and that they see them too!
It was a really rainy week. So, mom and I were communicating all week about this session. In the fall, it doesn’t pour like it does in the summer, it drizzles. on and off. But when it does, the ground is wet, which is uncomfortable for photo shoots. Except at the beach, where wet sand is pretty normal. So we moved this session from the park to the beach. We got there early. It was raining when we arrived, but we waited about 15 minutes for it to pass, and then were blessed with amazing blue skies and a rainbow!! It started drizzling again right as we finished our session! Basically, these pictures are awesome, this family is awesome, and I’m so glad this session was able to take place as scheduled!!
This session gives me all the heart eye emojis. This family celebrated the Jewish New Year together with cousins, parents, grandparents, and great grandma, and I just know how special these photos are going to be. It feels like a time of year where we get to start over and hit the reset button. We get together with family. We ask for forgiveness, we share gratitude, and we set intentions. I was asked to capture this gathering, and I was grateful to be able to freeze this special time for them. I wish I had picked up my camera more with my grandparents, and was honored to do so for this family.
