I was really flattered when Sarah called me to schedule family portraits. I went to Malibu to take family portraits at this amazing house in Malibu. The weather was beautiful! It was one of the first days without haze in awhile, but it was still a little windy! We took some photos up at the house and down on the beach. My favorite pictures are from the first 5 minutes when I was playing with the kids. They were adorable! It melted my heart to see a brother & sister hug! It reminded me of when I used to play around with my little brother! So cute! I’m uploading some of my favorites! :)

I’m shooting Dylan’s Bar Mitzvah in April so we met to take some portraits for his sign-in board. We met at Paramount Ranch. I just love shooting there! Paramount ranch is the cutest little western town in Calabasas/Agoura. I love all the textures that the town provides. Black and whites turn out so yummy and emotional there! We got some great pictures of Dylan. I mixed up some color and b/w. We even got some pics with Dylan’s big brother who is off to college. I can’t wait to shoot more pictures of the Wheeler family at Dylan’s Bar Mitzvah!

Sunday was Sophie’s 2nd Bday. We had a BBQ at Conejo Creek Park in Thousand Oaks. We had Meat Locker catered in. So yummy!!! They have the best BBQ ever! I was so stuffed from tri-tip but i still saved a little room for cake.

Sophie had a great time at the park with her new wagon wheel. Makenna and Austin got a special ride. Of course Tina had to pull them – Sophie insisted ;) So cute!!!! I wish I was small enough to get a ride in the wagon… need to lose a few more pounds first ;)

It was good to hand out with the family :)
