Tis the Season | Christmas in California

December 25, 2015

“We are what we believe we are.” ~ C.S. LEWIS

Christmas family portrait at a tree farm with hot chocolate stand in San Diego.

I don’t think it gets any cuter than this! This portrait was truly a family effort. Dad made the hot chocolate stand, mom styled everything and the kiddos (including pup) were their adorable selves. Mom had contacted me about wanting to do Christmas portraits while I was in San Diego. I immediately thought of a Christmas tree farm and began researching places and gaining permission to do their family portraits on the premises. Luckily, I found this tree farm where you could cut down your own trees. The owner was super nice and accommodating and everything worked out perfectly. Dad mentioned that this is what Christmas was like as a kid for him. Cutting down your own tree with hot chocolate in hand to warm you up. Wonderful memories relived and shared with the kiddos. I love that you can see the San Diego mountains in the background and even a hint of a palm tree in the upper right corner. So California. Such a festive feel, while giving this family a taste of home. Merry Christmas!

Early Fall mornings gives beautiful light and sometimes works best with busy schedules of teenagers during this time of year.

Love how the light embraces her and how the hydrangeas add a painterly texture to the background.

A family portrait is important, but the relationships within the family are what make the collection complete.

That’s one of the reasons I love a Signature Session. With more time, we can photograph not only everyone together, but also siblings, each child, Mom with the kids, Dad with the kids, parents together and all the natural moments in between.

This early-November session in Oconee County is a perfect example of how a fuller gallery tells the story of a family so much more completely.

If you’re hoping for more than simply an updated family portrait this fall, a Signature Session may be the perfect fit.

One of my favorite Oconee County locations for family portraits - so much variety tucked into one beautiful little area. The tunnel of trees is gorgeous while everything is still green and again later in the season when the leaves turn their vibrant fall colors.

And with little ones, play is always part of the plan. Tossing them in the air, making them laugh, snuggling them close - those are often the moments that create the most genuine connection.

Because littles don’t stay little for long, and these are the moments you’ll want to remember.

There is something about early fall mornings...

The air is crisp but still comfortable, the temperatures are perfect for cozy layers, and that beautiful morning light gives everything such a soft, warm glow.

You don’t have to wait for peak fall color to create portraits that feel like the season.

Sometimes these quiet early fall days are the prettiest of all.

Mom belongs in the pictures, too.

You’re often the one capturing the everyday moments, but your children deserve photographs with you in them - the way they lean into you, laugh with you and fit beside you in this season of life.

And beautiful fall portraits don’t require vibrant autumn leaves. Early fall offers soft greens, warm golden tones and gorgeous light that photographs beautifully.

If updated family portraits are on your list this year, I’d love to help you preserve this season together.

Have you been to the store Bird and Brass lately? This artist, who owns the boutique, has updated offerings to fit in with the Autumn season. Such great treats, gifts, clothes, suede handbags, jewelry and of course her artwork! Head to the back and check out the fridge. There is surely something in there that will settle your cravings.

Such a joy photographing Erika`s branding. Her set up outside really showcases her artistic skills and gives an insight into her wonderful tastes. When you visit her store, make sure to say hello! She will make you feel right at home.
