Finn, Hazel, Ivy and Katie - A fun family session in Yorba Linda

This is one amazing and unique family. The children have different mothers, but share the same sperm donor father. They all met on the internet through a donor registration designed for families to connect with their genetic kindred. 

S. Krystal is the mother of Finn, Denise and CJ are the mothers of Hazel and Ivy and Mary is the mother of Katie. Two of the families live right here in Southern California and this was the first time they got to meet Katie and Mary who came all the way down from Indiana so she could bond with her siblings.

It was fun to see how much they looked alike, to see how well they got along and how well they didn't get along. Just like your average brothers and sisters. 

Goes to show that the typical family dynamic is ever changing and that as long as you have love, you have family.

A beautiful smile dedicated to anyone having a humdrum Tuesday

This photo features the 3 year old Hazel. Her smile communicates the simple joy of swinging on a swing. Makes me wish I was a kid again. More photos from this family shoot to come!

A Trip to Travel Town

Took a trip to Travel Town with the Jovel kids for a day full of sun, fun and trains! Little J's favorite thing on Earth are trains. Older sis M was a a natural in front of the camera. Together we got some great shots of them playing and posing with mom for a few also.

I enjoy any excuse to go out and shoot on a location where we can have fun too. I know when I was little I hated doing those Sears portraits where we had to dress up and be photographed in a stuffy little studio. Those were no fun. Shoots like these we create memories together and get some great moments captured forever to boot. 

I love that.

A kiss for mommy

Thanks to the Jovel's for letting me be part of their day. It was an honor.
