Getting the chance to leave the snow behind and photographing in lush California was a dream come true. I have traveled a lot of places but I’d never visited California before. I didn’t believe it would be so green and in bloom in February, it was a wonderful surprise and made for my warmest birthday ever at a comfortable 70 degrees before heading up into the mountains later that evening.
As I was preparing these images for the blog they made me smile so much! This family is so fun and spunky and they just unabashedly embrace life with a passion. The children were aware of the camera but it didn’t make them retreat or act nervous, they just had fun being kids and expressing themselves! It really was a treat to watch them. I’m going to kick this post off with a couple of triptychs of both of the kids; they were having a good time showing me their dancing skills!
::it was a pretty big day for ruby, her first time riding a bike without training wheels::

::love their sweet expressions in the next two portraits::
Gilian — thanks so much for being a wonderful hostess and letting us hang out with your family so much, it was a pretty amazing experience! Hopefully we will get Kevin in some portraits next time! Check the facebook page for some more from this session.

Great pics! I really love the one with them sitting on the steps
You really captured the little girls eyes, she looks so soulful. The steps were cool too.
