The Leal-Robles Family

Their first family photographs.

What a honor to have taken them.

Thank you for driving all the way down from the OC and allowing me the opportunity.

Hope you enjoy,

Aiden and Keanon

Let me preface this with telling you that this is a very, very busy time of year for pretty much all photographers.

That plus the rain causing multiple reschedules for the last two weekends has made me a very scattered person.

SO I was beyond embarrassed when I stood Jessica up last Wednesday.

I could have sworn on my children's lives that I scheduled her for the following day, Thursday... but low and behold I saw my email to her saying "See you Wednesday!"

Good grief.

So she waited, and waited, and waited, for close to 1 hour...

(children waited too)

So Jessica, I am so so sorry and thank you for being such a good sport. If it were me I don't think I would have handled it as nicely as you. Its a lesson that you've taught me well.

Patience and forgiveness.

Enjoy the pictures you have been long waiting for.

xo, C.

 

The Mercados

I couldn't have been happier to photograph this old high school friend and her family.

What a beautiful family.

I hope you enjoy.

Hugs, C.

Stock Sneak Peek

I bet many (if not all) would agree with me when I say my friend Ashlee is one of the most kind, sweet, giving people that I know.

When I was on the look for a vintage sled, who found one for me? Ashlee.

She is always letting Finn borrow bikes and toys.

She is so sweet my baby girl Sunday, even with her moods.

She is always giving my kids juice and snacks (and Wes and me beers) and inviting them over to play with open arms.

She is a giver. A natural mom. A naturally good friend.

I am excited that I can finally give her something.

I hope you enjoy these photographs.

You are amazing.

PS. Jeff, you're not so bad either. ;)

PPS Just tell Fish this says "sponge bob"
