YOUR JOY: LABRADO

JEN — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 18:42:06 +0000

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the Labrado family at Cedar Grove Park in Tustin. They are long time friends that I know through my public affairs/day job world and have given me the opportunity to photograph them for the second year in a row.

The thing I love most about this family is their laughter. They are kind people who just radiate joy and a love for life. I know their sweet little girl will grow up with the best of each of them and I hope she laughs just as much as they do!!!

This is what happens when you allow a 2 year old to select the poses. : ) Darling Maddie had us all in fits of laughter when she climbed on up and made a bed in her parents’ arms!

YOUR JOY: VENEGAS FAMILY

This Venegas family is not to be confused with this Venegas family; but they are related! Clare and Matt are some of my best friends and they surprised their brother and sister-in-law with a photo shoot for Christmas last year and we scheduled it just in time for their holiday photos. Marc and Penni are incredibly fun and their boys Ryan and Riley are adorable and have such fun and distinct personalities!

We began the shoot at Peters Canyon in Tustin and then finished the shoot at Cedar Grove Park. It was a fantastic day, but I did manage to get a parking ticket…which reminds me that I DO need to get that paid. : )

Gift certificates are a great idea for the holidays. If you’re stumped on what to get for your loved ones this year, consider giving them the gift of memories!!!

I’ve been up to my ears in Christmas card photos lately, not that I’m complaining! Even though it’s been hot as can be here in So Cal, I’ve edited all my shoots wearing Christmas socks, because darn it, I just feel like it!

One of my favorite families, the Venegas’ wanted something rustic for their photos and we found a great spot just around the corner from my house! I love it when that happens! Cedar Grove Park is lined by a grove of trees here in Tustin, which made a perfect backdrop! When you’re trying to determine locations, don’t assume there isn’t an option close by and around the corner, because there just may be!

Clare and Matt, you guys are gorgeous and I can’t wait to see how the cards turn out!!! Derek is a handsome lil devil and I know everyone will love your pics! XOXO
