so happy together | corona del mar family photographer
September 14, 2010kristin came to me a few months ago interested in a session for her family. her boys are growing up fast and she wanted to make sure she had them photographed while they were still her “babies”. in a blink of an eye they will be grown men with homes of their own to hang family photos in. i’m so glad that i was able to give kristin and dwayne a chance to capture these memories of them with their boys… er, MEN. :)
what a charming, beautiful, sweet and just incredibly FUN family they are. i’m happy to have spent time with them, and happy to know them. <3
kristin and dwayne, thank you for allowing me to photograph your beautiful family. i hope you enjoy your sneak peek. xo

What a STUNNING family! I love these Katie! I have a soft spot for young men who will still let their mama snuggle them in front of other people. ;)
