Orange County Photographer: The GAP Shoot

Tammy — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:59:41 +0000

PERSONALITY. That’s what comes to mind when I think of this family. We are lucky enough to share the end of a cul-de-sac with this fun, spunky, full of life family. Mark and Pam are a party in their own right…then add in three little ones (who were all under three until just a month ago!) and you have some serious fun. When mom informed me that she wanted a “winter and mountains” looking shoot I thought, fun! Then when I saw the kids outfits it took on a whole new meaning. SO cute!! They look like they walked right off the pages of a GAP ad. LOVE it!

Mom started the phone calls about an hour after the shoot, begging to see just a few. She informed me that this was the FIRST time she had ever had to wait to see pictures…and this momma gets a LOT of pictures taken. I have to admit, it was a little fun to torture her. Hopefully it was worth the wait Pam!!

Taken before the “real” shooting began right as we arrived…and one of my absolute favorites!

The Christmas card photo…

And then the real fun for me. Chasing the kids around!! This is seriously my favorite part of my job. I LOVE capturing kids while they are just being themselves.

this little one gets a little extra blog love…just because I want to sqeeze her every time I see her!!!

Can you tell where these cute kiddos are getting their personlity and zest for life? From this beautiful couple. Mark joked that he had to take pictures like this for their wedding…why now too?? I love to capture a few images of the originals. The ones that started it all and keep it all together everyday.

SUCH a cute fam. Hopefully you are feeling better now Pam.

Have a great day!

Orange County Family Photographer: The Hanson Clan

Tammy — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:04:04 +0000

I was so excited to catch up with this cute family last week. I met Renee and couple of years ago when our sons played for the same t-ball team. After talking to her for just a short time at a practice I felt like I had known her forever. She is SO fun and easy going, engaging and just one of those “lights up a room” kind of people. Not to mention totally gorgeous…

I received a phone call from Renee just this morning worrying that she hadn’t seen anything posted. She was afraid that there wasn’t anything blog worthy…don’t worry Renee…I think we found a few. Not to mention the MANY more that will be in your gallery…but I have to save SOME surprises!

It’s no wonder that with a couple like this you get some cute kiddos! We were joking with Nick talking to him about girlfriends trying to get him to smile…there’s no doubt that even though he says he doesn’t have any now…there will be plenty in his future!

Ellie is the middle child. Although she wasn’t a fan of this outfit she sure looks cute in it!

This little cute ball of spunk rounds out the family. I can’t believe I knew her when she was just tiny…they change SO fast!!

A beautiful family…

LOVE this shot…

Some handsome boys

thank you SO much Hanson family for spending the afternoon with me. It is ALWAYS a pleasure!! Can’t wait to see lots more of you during baseball season!!

have a great day!

Orange County Family Photographer: Old Town San Juan

Tammy — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:00:28 +0000

One of my favorite places to shoot and one of my favorite families…can’t ask for much more than that! I had such a fun time shooting these guys, even though the littlest wasn’t too thrilled to have me following her around with a camera! This color combo was AWESOME!! LOVE the contrast of the navy with those little blonde heads!! Such a good looking fam! Mom’s one request–ONE photo where everyone is looking at the camera…i think we at least got one.

A little time with dad…

Does it get any cuter than these two??

This little cutie was ready at a moments notice. She had a smile on ready to go at all times. LOVE that!! It was too cute!

Little sister didn’t want momma to put her down…and when she tried tears ensued. I know it’s hard right now mom…but one day you’ll miss these days!!

We were able to steal away for a minute for some cute shots of just mom and dad…

Remember what I said about always ready with a smile?? No matter what was happening around her, she was ready!

I’ll save a few suprises for your gallery…but I just had to share one more that will hopefully bring a smile to your face like it did to mine…

Thanks for sharing your afternoon with me guys!

Have a great day!

Sara & Shane

Tammy — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:18:48 +0000

I can’t believe that I haven’t blogged about IU yet. Sorry to all of you girls that are waiting for pictures…but you’re going to be disppointed!!! I was SO busy I barely took any!! I couldn’t believe it when I got home and realized that! I think I was SO nervous about my classes and shoot that I was just preoccupied! Next year there will be more images than you can handle…deal???
One of my favorite things that I did all weekend was get the chance to hang out with Sara and her cute husband Shane.
Sara contacted me a few months ago and said she was a blog follower…LOVE that! She was excited because her and her hubby were getting the chance to fly out from Illinois and spend a WEEK alone, as a couple. She is the cutest mom. She ran and bought online cameras because she wanted to be able to Skype her boys while she was gone. How cute is that??!! I was so excited to be able to shoot this cute couple…high school sweet hearts! Sara said they had never had pictures done of just the two of them…I hope these fit the bill Sara!!

(check out her super cute shoes!!! I ran to target the next day toget a pair myself!!)

I loved watching these two interact. John and I are high school sweethearts and there is just something about literally growing up with someone else…it forms a bond that is unlike any other…

We didn’t have a ton of time to shoot…both Sara and I had commitments back at the conference and Shane had a date at the poker table! He had been on the strip having fun all day and was very nice to take a few minutes to hang out with me while I made him and Sara engage in some PDA on the strip.

My favorite spot of the day…the bus came JUST as we passed by leaving the benches just for us!

Thanks for spending a few moments with me guys!! It was SO great to meet you both. May the luck of Vegas always be with you both!!

Have a great day!
