Hudson, Cassandra and Justin: Laguna Beach

This fantastic New York family currently lives in LA but will be returning to the Big Apple soon, so I am very glad that we got to meet up with them at the beach below the Montage in Laguna Beach for an afternoon photo session. Hudson is eight months old and FULL of personality. 

This series of three cracks me up. Hudson eating a stick. Justin running to Hudson. Hudson happy as a clam.

Beautiful smile.

 Love how he is pinching his dads cheek.

Gorgeous family.

Can't wait to go and visit with them in the City, go out to fabulous meals and watch Hudson grow up.

Tiffany, Bella, Cyrene, Sammy and family

What an amazing bunch of photogenic women! Tiffany and I went to high school together but then she moved away, but comes back to visit often, and we have stayed in touch thanks to Facebook. I was so excited to photograph her 5 year old bundle of personality Bella, and her extended family. Her aunt Cyrene's house was perfect for the shoot, with hallways of great light and a fabulous deck area. We had a blast and the little girls were totally into it (I knew Bella would be when I saw those high tops). And Tiffany consented to some pics of her - she is stunningly beautiful and has no idea, which only makes her 10 times more beautiful. :) (she'll hate me for saying that.)

Meet Bella.

And Sammy.

Those eyes!

Probably my favorite of the day. Although I had so many that I loved it was hard to pick one.

And obviously great skin and good looks run in the family.

Jenn and Kate

I met Jenn in 6th grade at Harbor Day School (so just a few years ago). She was, and still is, hilarious, irreverent, and fun. She hired me for some head shots a few months back and when we finally were able to put something on the calendar, she asked if she could bring her friend Kate along. They are both creative and innovative and are working on several collective projects and wanted some pictures together for marketing materials for their joint undertakings. I was thrilled....we decided to head down to Laguna and find some great light in the alleys and back streets there. It was a wonderful afternoon...the light was great and my two models were light hearted, easy going and gorgeous!

This is Jenn.

One of my favorites of the day.

And this is Kate.

They are both stunning! Love how these black and whites turned out. (They jumped in the back door of the kitchen of a restaurant.:) )

Love their coordinating dresses too....totally fashionistas. (Confession: My husband jumped in and was the stylist/location scout for the day. He has a fantastic eye for color, style, fashion. He might kill me for sharing that, but I'll take my chances. And he is my backup shooter and a lot of the great shots of the day are his.)

They are hilarious! Love them laughing.

Love these!

Thanks ladies, for a truly fantastic and fun day. I have not laughed that much at a photo shoot in a long time. It was such an enjoyable afternoon and I can't wait to see that amazing things that you too produce together.
