Christine + Haley

Gorgeous sisters – this was such a fun session! Both are graduates of Palos Verdes High School, Christine is studying English and creative writing at University of California, Berkeley and Haley is working locally for Guess after graduating from Santa Clara University just recently. We shot these just wandering around Palos Verdes Estates on a finally sunny afternoon a week or so ago.

Sarah’s mom won the highest bid for a photo session with me at the Soleado Elementary School silent auction last fall – we have been trying to make this session happen for a while! Well worth the wait – Sarah was an absolute delight! She was so fun to photograph. So smart too… she speaks three languages!

A cloudy Manhattan Beach morning… swingtime!!! Jack was a fan.

Grant | Palos Verdes baby photographer

Lisa Roah — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:11:11 +0000

One of my favorite little guys… Isn’t he yummy? This little baby wants me want to have another one. He has gotten so big! I could post so many more favorites, but I keeping this short and sweet so I can keep catching up on all my sessions lately!

He was so tired, but I got one last smile before he settled down for a nap.

Kai + Zaia | Manhattan Beach baby photographer

So much fun! This was a surprise for Dad for Father’s Day – I felt like a stalker waiting for his car to pull out of the driveway so I could go in. Kai played the piano for me, ran around the yard, cuddled with Mom a bit, played with bubbles, and I got lots of great images. Baby Zaia was incredibly good – although she was really awake for most of it, she was good natured and happy. I seriously can’t even believe that she was born recently – her Mom looked absolutely amazing!

Ian | Palos Verdes high school senior photographer

Lisa Roah — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 05:27:24 +0000

Ian just graduated from Palos Verdes High School, and is headed to the University of California, Berkeley in the fall. He is currently enjoying an awesome trip to Europe – I am very jealous that he is having a great time in Germany right now! Don’t you think he is a ringer for Chris Pine from the Star Trek movie?

Nastya + Kristina + Gabriel + Isabel + Sara | Playa del Rey children’s photographer

Lisa Roah — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:37:23 +0000

Where to start on this family? They are just amazing. Nastya and Kristina were recently adopted from the Ukraine, and this session took place 5 days after their arrival. They don’t speak much English yet, but their mom is home schooling them until they can start school in September. I never realized how much I talk when I photograph! I had to gesture a lot to make sure they understood what I was saying. To say that their adoption was a long process would be an understatement! They joined a big loving family here – new twin sisters and younger brother, plus two older brothers who couldn’t be there that day. We had a great time hanging out and playing. I was so honored to be able to capture images of this incredible week adding two new daughters to the family.

I wish I looked this cute at 11 and 12!!!

Gabriel wasn’t sure he wanted to share the attention with all the girls…

That’s OK – they didn’t want to sit with him anyway. I love that you can see Sara in the background after she ran away!

I adore these two images of the twins!

A favorite of Kristina and Sara!

I finally figured out that this one is of Isabel due to the difference in ponytail colors, thank goodness.

James (with a little Sydney + Maddie) | Manhattan Beach Children’s Photographer

Lisa Roah — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:50:42 +0000

James turned 1 recently – I can’t believe how fast this particular year has gone! His sisters joined him for a bit – we especially had fun going for a walk around the neighborhood and playing in Mom and Dad’s bed.

This is what greeted me at the front door.

Playing in bed with his sisters!

Sean + Kyle + Erin | Manhattan Beach children’s photographer

Lisa Roah — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:20:19 +0000

We had a lot of fun really early in Manhattan Beach at Metlox Center before the crowds rolled in on a Sunday morning. It was a little cold and foggy, but the kids were troopers for me. Erin didn’t sit still for more than 3 seconds, but the boys did a great job of keeping her happy for me.

Ben + Katherine + Will | Palos Verdes Estates family photographer

Lisa Roah — Mon, 31 May 2010 19:40:29 +0000

Are they cute or what? These guys are one of my favorite families – this was my second time photographing the twins, but my first time with little Will. We had a great time, and they were all so good, especially Katherine, who was recuperating from pink eye a few days before.
