The first one was with a wonderful family of 4, Dad will be deployed over the next few weeks so we were able to capture some great family shots and playtime with dad and the kiddos. As usual both children were just adorable, the youngest just loved to smile for the camera which is always a plus! During this shoot I was also accompanied by the Ventura County Star Newspaper who will be writing an article on Op:Love and my envolvment with it, they had a photographer on site snapping pics of me snapping pics :). I will be sure to keep you all updated with a date the story is scheduled to run. In the meantime, here is are a few images that really hit home for me from the first session that day.
And the second family, also an amazing group. Dad was to be deployed just 2 days after our shoot so this was really a pleasure to capture for them. Their free spirits and fun loving unity was a wonderful inspiration for our session. The children each had their own distinct personality, the oldest "C" is the joker of the family, he loved to joke and make silly faces, I see the possibility of acting in his future. The middle son "J", an sensitive soul with a great heart and of course the littlest "J" the sweet daughter...she is certainly daddys little girl, you can just feel their bond when they look at each other. You can not help but smile when you are around this great family. Here is a quick peek at our session!
