It's Summer! | Newport Beach Family Photography

Summer is here- it's official! And what better way to start the summer than a family shoot down at the beautiful Crystal Cove? I cannot get enough of Crystal Cove- the 1930's cottages, the soft sand and the beautiful light... what's not to love? And after July 1st, an added bonus is the Ruby's Shake Shack up on PCH (we were bummed it wasn't open yet!!)

This family is about as adorable as it gets; mom and dad were completely delightful to work with and the kids were a total joy! Though I am loving being a stay at home mom to my children and chasing this photography dream, I do miss the years I spent in youth ministry (my former "real job"). These kids brought that warmth back to my heart that I would experience in youth ministry... such joy! I have to say my favorite part was finding a little crab and one of the kids asking the infamous question, "Can we keep it?!" Too much fun!

Thank you, D family, for meeting me down at beautiful Crystal Cove- your family had me smiling even as I drove home; you're blessed!
