artistic family portraits by kristianne koch
When Amy emailed me awhile back about doing a photo session and a book to visually express the e.e. cummings poem that represents each one of her girls, I had to choke back tears. As much as I love being in control of the creative process, I truly love the collaborative experience of meshing a vision with someone else. I would love to do more sessions that incorporate the client’s lifestyle and personality into the shoot.
This session turned out…
The light peaked out of the fog for a brief moment while I was photographing the Sinacori family at the San Clemente pier for their holiday mini session. They were so fun to work with and I even received a palm full of little shells as a gift from the middle daughter (the one climbing on the pilons).
I had another great holiday mini session with Hohenester family. They are so much fun to work with. We had a misty morning bright and early at the pier.
I had a fabulous time with the Robbins family at Crystal Cove State Park for a photo session. Their youngest goes to Serra Preschool where Merrik is this year and I am so excited to have had the opportunity to get to know them better. They all looked great in their very own denim designs and I was privileged to get “the eyebrow” from Lucas! It was a fun way to end the weekend before starting another busy week.
While I was in Big Bear I wanted to do a photo session with my little sister and her daughter Rose.

I always mess something up but somehow end up with at least one good image.
The settings in Big Bear were so perfect but every time I thought…
