Our Photography Journal

We recently had the great pleasure of meeting up with my best friend Laura and her wonderful family In Claremont for a family portrait session. We walked around downtown and on the campuses of the Claremont Colleges taking advantage of all the beautiful places to take photos. Laura and her husband Matt have two adorable children, Sebastian (three) and Saige (18 months). It can be a challenge to get two young children to sit still for 30 seconds, let alone at the same time! But we like challenges and, really, they were pretty easy on us and really cooperative (usually!). We got most of the “good portrait shots” done right away so they could get to the fun stuff like running and playing!

When planning for the session Matt and Laura said, “We just want a few good pictures of the kids.” Famous last words!!! We got them to take a few with the kids, and we “tortured them” with too many great images to choose from when they came today to pick some out. They ordered a few of their favorites and a large panoramic print of the kids running. We can’t wait until we can deliver the prints to them!

Here are a few of our favorites from the session, including one Matt named, “Dreamer” (the sepia toned print of Saige looking angelic while hugging Sebastian).

Enjoy!
