this sweet family has such a special place in my heart. i've known these boys since they were three months old when i started working as their nanny. and boy do i miss spending my days with them! i don't get to see them (or their mom) often enough so i was more than thrilled to spend the evening with them! as you'll see in the first several pictures, the boys weren't the biggest fans of posing for pictures. so we let them play around in the water and that is when the magic happened! it was such a blast for all of us. :)



























thanks for letting me take your family pictures tammy!

the erickson family | orange county family photographer

how does time fly by so fast?! it's really quite sad how far behind i am with this blog! regardless, i'm excited to show you these long overdue pictures of the cute erickson family.

this first set of pictures are from a random photo shoot that happened while we were hanging out with the erickson's one day. sophie is just the cutest, sweetest little girl!







and here are the family pictures we took at the beach. back in september. (yikes!) told you i was behind. :) better late than never, right?! anyway, i just love how these turned out. but let's be honest... with such a cute family, how hard is my job? and i just love how well they put their outfits together. when people ask for suggestions on what to wear, i always tell them to coordinate their clothing (as opposed to matching) and they hit the nail on the head! great job!































thanks erickson family! i had a blast taking your pictures. :)

p.s. we miss you!

have you ever watched the excruciatingly cuteness of four year olds playing soccer? well, let me tell you... it is adorable! pictures don't really do it justice... i wish all of you could have been there!


i see a gatorade model in our future... and i love how he is doing the number four with both hands. :)








when i showed him this picture on my camera he told me he was stretching. :)


his tongue was like that most of the game -- he means business!






here he is going in for one of his many goals (i think it was around ten?)


after he'd make a goal he'd look over and give a big thumbs up! how adorable is that?


and we couldn't leave without getting that classic sports shot! his dad showed him how it's done...


hahaha... i love my family. :)

easter mini sessions - maya | orange county child photographer

this is sweet, adorable maya. maya wasn't a big fan of the bunny, so we went straight for the eggs! and it's a good thing her mom is so good at getting her to smile... she was giving us a run for our money! and don't you just love that easter dress? so cute! thanks tosha!

easter mini sessions - judd's | orange county family photographer

this is the first of the last two easter mini sessions i had a couple weeks ago.... and i had so much fun with these two boys! their mom is my very talented friend emily (who you've all heard about before!). this was kind of a bittersweet session for me because they just moved to utah (you lucky utahns!) and i will miss them so much! here are my favorites from that fun morning! oh and fun fact: emily made those matching easter ties! so adorable!







they were both so cute with the bunny!



and of course they loved the candy!





but i think they both started to wonder if their brother's candy was better...



and then the sibling rivalry kicked in. :)









after all the candy was gone, i asked the boys to throw the eggs at me. (i think that was their favorite part!)





and then it was time to go...



this is my favorite shot of the day. he just picked up those baskets and went on his merry way! so cute!

thanks emily. your boys are too cute!
