We met this super cute family back in 2009 when we photographed their first family session in the OC. Jen contacted us again recently for another family session and we couldn’t have been more excited!! Ryan and Sophie were only a year younger then, but boy have they grown. We were so excited to see them again! It’s always fun meeting other families, hanging out and discovering so many similarities in our own lives. We love how this family interacts – with patience, thoughtfulness, love and knowing how to have tons of fun. That’s what a healthy & happy family is all about. It’s amazing how kids make such a big difference in our lives. Ryan and Sophie are so smart, well mannered and as cute as can be. We love you guys and thanks for allowing us to capture all these precious moments! We loved how the photos came out, thanks to Jen’s color coordination for the family! Below are our favorites, enjoy!

Cal Poly Pomona Japanese Garden – Michelle & Long’s Engagement

We had another great engagement session with Michelle and Long as we went back to our Alma Mater, Cal Poly Pomona (we actually both graduated the same year, same major and same day but we didn’t know each other back then). The Japanese Garden used to be a duck pond and going back to Cal Poly felt like a whole new world with so many changes and upgrades. A great location and a beautiful couple made for an awesome session. Check out our few favorites from Michelle and Long’s engagement session.

It was a beautiful, sunny day last Saturday and Cal Poly Pomona was the perfect location for our family session. What’s interesting is that most of us either graduated from there or have attended classes there. Kenny and I both graduated in 2000 with the same major, but we didn’t know each other at the time. We haven’t been back to the campus since – I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. So many things have changed and they now have a beautiful Japanese garden right behind the administration building. Our goal for the day was to get some family portraits for each family and then a group family portrait. The single family portrait attempt was a dud. The kids had way too much fun running around so it was a big challenge rounding everyone up. We all had a lot of fun though! At least we got the group family photo and some great shots of the kids. Until the next attempt at a family session, here are a few of our faves:

The Phan’s, Chau’s and Pearson’s

Kareena and Kenny playing superman!

The cuties in the family: Daryn, Dylan, and Kareena. Kyle was either playing or napping in grandma’s arms the entire time! See group photo above! Kareena adores her two older cousins – they’re pretty much her two older brothers. Watch out boys, Daryn is almost at the black belt level in Tae Kwon Do.

She’s growing up so fast. We didn’t pose her for this one. What a natural!

We were finally able to steal Kyle from grandma for a second. I love how close they are and how much they adore one another.
