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!

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

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 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

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

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.

Grandparents + Grandchildren | Hermosa Beach children’s photographer

A few of my favorites from a recent session with some fun grandparents and their four grandchilden under the Hermosa Beach Pier

Gavin | Palos Verdes children’s photographer

I need to go get Jason one of these hats! Gavin was loving his cool hat. I had a great time talking baseball and Wimpy Kid with Gavin, and getting some fun family images as well.

Lainey + Beau | Palos Verdes children’s photographer

Lisa Roah — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 07:59:46 +0000

I have been meaning to share this session for ages. These two are favorite clients of mine, and Lainey is one of my Jason’s little girlfriends from preschool days. It was so cold and windy the day of their photos, but they were such good sports! I think it was because they know they get treats afterwards.

Jake + John

Lisa Roah — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 06:20:42 +0000

Baby John is the newest addition to the family, and we had a blast watching him explore his surroundings walking around the neighborhood. I photographed his big brother at the same age so it was especially fun to compare their two personalities. I absolutely love this family, and it was great to see them again.

Joan – you are an absolutely amazing woman! I am so honored to be able to document this part of your life.

Doesn’t Jake look cool in front of this truck? I loved this image in black and white too, but the color version won in the end.
