A little peek into a very special family session Mike and I photographed yesterday morning of the Soules Family. Mr. Soules has been Bug’s teacher since the 1st grade and will continue to be up until the 8th grade. As you can imagine we are very grateful for Mr. Soules and his family! Thanks for the fun morning!

Love,

The Wong Family

Kiran’s little twin star, Taylor came to visit us today. She gave me about 5 seconds to take her picture! Good thing she is crazy cute and we were able to catch some great images. (plus I’m a ninja and gave her candy!) :) I love her giggles here! It’s one of those series of images that you could easily miss with a blink of the eye. Thanks for hanging out with us today Tay Tay. We love you!

I’ve got twins on my mind after a visit from my brother’s family over the weekend. I was photographing his twins for their upcoming one year birthdays. YAY! More of those photos to come!  Meanwhile, I was reminded of a session that Mike and I photographed last year. Another set of boy/girl twins! I’ve been wanting to share these for a while now because I adore them so much!  There is just something so special about twins and much to my delight, I will be photographing them again this coming fall!

I bow down to all the mothers of multiples. I don’t know how you do it. I was wiped out after spending Saturday with the twins and I didn’t even do anything!!

Another growing family! I just love how sweet they look in this photo. Big brother Trevor was hugging and kissing on mama’s belly all morning.

For the past 4 years I’ve been lucky enough to be able to document Zoë’s growth and now she is a big sister to baby Kai! Such beautiful kids and I’m so honored to get to share in their lives. More photos of past sessions to come…

This adorable family traveled all the way from Boston to celebrate Ethan’s 1st Birthday with family and friends in Los Angeles. I always feel so lucky when I am asked to document such a joyous celebration. We spent the morning hanging out at grandma and grandpa’s house and then headed out for some outdoor warmth and sun.  Ethan was such a happy and curious little guy and all around cutie pie. He definitely gets the award for coolest hair. I don’t know how I always get the nicest most laid back families to work with-knock on wood! And doesn’t mama look chic in her little black dress and fabulous shoes? I love basics paired with pops of fun color!! Thanks for hanging out with us!

Mike and I were lucky enough to photograph two wonderful families during our little March Los Angeles getaway weekend.  This first family had been in touch with me for family photos way back in 2008. I was so happy when we finally managed to coordinate a session together this year! The Huntington Library and Botanical Garden in Pasadena was just stunning and the family was so fun and easy to work with-the kind of people you just want to hang out with all day. Charlie was just the sweetest and most charming little almost 2 year old you could ever be around and his vocabulary was out of this world!  Thanks for the for the fun day!
