Minefee Family {Avila Beach}

I got to know this sweet family through Young Life and they are one impressive bunch! I have been waiting all year for these pictures since Bre wanted them taken after Miss Holland was born for Christmas...oh how it was worth the wait! She is sweet, pretty in pink and everything in between!

Wills Family {Avila Beach}

There is something great about a lifestyle family shoot since it really tells the personalities of the family as a whole. It might keep ME on my toes but while editing, I am reminded that this is the real life of parenthood. Kiddos mights be full of energy, where random hats on picture day, need snacks throughout the shoot...BUT, oh what joy they bring. Capturing that true laugh or smile is truly priceless. These pictures of the Wills Family are exactly that. :)

Quick Family {Avila Beach}

Be still my heart! This sweet baby girl stole my heart with her adorable eyes and charming personality...she did amazing!!!! I loved seeing Elise and Michael step so naturally into parenthood. They glow with their little one...and Michael handles holding pink toys and dolls well. :)

Blake + Valerie's Engagements {Avila Beach}

My family snuck away for a few days but it was a treat to meet up with Blake and Valerie yesterday for their engagement pictures in Avila Beach. You would have never known it was the end of October because I seriously think it was 80 degrees there for the last few days...we live in the closest thing to heaven. Blake and Valerie were amazing! There might have been some nerves about the pictures but WOW are they photogenic!! Valerie's smile is just stunning and I loved capturing them interacting together because it always ended in laughter. Needless to say they are an adorable couple and I am so excited for their wedding May!!
