Even though I have retired from doing photography portraits, over the holidays I did do a few sessions for some dear friends that I have been photographing for many years.  Here is a family that lives just a few minutes from me.  I can’t believe their children are all grown up! 

We had a fun shoot in their beautiful back yard and our Southern California weather was cooperating — we had a beautiful sunny day!  Actually, almost too sunny, we had to do the session pretty early before the sun got too high and too harsh, you can see we had some pretty strong light to work around.

And yes, their puppy Buster almost stole the show.  He is so cute!

Wishing you a wonderful creative day!  Janell
