This family is awesome, let me just say that.
This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with them (you can see their last shoot here)
and I am so inspired by the patience they have with their kids, and the way they all work together as a family.
They have been dealt with some challenging situations, and they handle them as graceful as I could imagine, and with so much love.
A. and S, you guys are amazing parents!!!
Here are just a few of my favs from our adventure together in downtown Ojai, California.

Hanging out at Bart’s Books :)

We saw this red door at this private residence and had to take a few pics with it.
The owners of the home were totally cool with it! Whew! :)

I love this photo of A. and C. together. I was busy snapping pics of cute P. above and turned around and saw this moment.
C. was having a rough time and A. calmed him down.
I thought to myself, he was given the perfect mom for his condition. She is amazing.
*****
A and S, you two are adorable!!!!
Perfect couple!

The lighting was pretty dark for this photo, therefore lots of graininess, but I had to include it.

Little P!
Leave it to me to find tall grass, even downtown!
(Secretly, its a weed patch he’s standing in front of , but we can pretend he’s in a field! :)
*****
Here are those pics I posted in the teaser collage. I just couldn’t leave them out.
A. told me in the past that C. loved water.
As soon as he was allowed to feel it with his finger he immediately perked up and became content.
(He looks so reserved with the water here, right??)
***
Then I turned to switch lenses or something and I heard a splash!!!
All of a sudden it was a very happy and very wet C. swimming laps in the fountain!
We all laughed and C. was all smiles from then on!
What a fun and memorable way to end the photoshoot!
I was loving every second, and C’s parents were too!
It still makes me laugh!

We had planned for months on a beach shoot, but the weather didn’t cooperate.
At the last minute we opted for lovely Ojai, and had a completely different shoot than we planned out,
but still so fun and totally uniquely them!
Mission accomplished!
Thanks again Christensens!!
