Last month I had the pleasure of traveling to Ojai, California and this was the first family I got to “play” with.
Before our session, I went location hunting to find the best spot. I was surprised to see how dry and brown the area was,
all of my normal lush, green meadows were dead and desert like.
Luckily, this family had a gorgeous property with flowers and a bit of greenery
that we were able to use- and we sure put it to use!

Here are a few outtakes where I was testing the light while we awaited the arrival of the guys.
I took advantage of mommy and baby daughter together.
I actually love these tests pics- they made the cut!

Gorgeous girls!

I showed up a few hours earlier before the session and helped set up some fun areas for the kids.
I found a great little trail that had some wildflowers and I put one of their air mattresses down,
which we turned into a lovely little bed amongst the weeds and flowers.
{Love little C’s kissy face!}

Can’t get enough of these detail shots of the little ones
Love those little feet, lashes, and face!

Big brother had a great time bouncing on the bed
I love this happy face post bounce while being tickled by dad! :)

Once the kiddos were satisfied jumping on the bed,
we headed to the next area…
I couldn’t resist the moment between father and son on our walk over…
*****
In the next area of fun,we made use of their gorgeous lawn by setting up a cozy little outdoor reading lounge with blankets and pillows.

The Berri’s brought this little umbrella that the kids got to play with…

Lastly, we just did a little more playing!
Love this one of mom and dad,
so much love between them.

I just adore these playful moments with real laughter and real smiles!
