Long Beach Family Photography

One of my favorite parts of family photography is getting to watch kids grow up year after year and I feel so lucky that I’ve been photographing these little ones for 7 years now!  Charles is the first baby I ever photographed back when I was still in college and photographing him helped me realize how much I love documenting beautiful family moments.  I’ve known their father since I was born and couldn’t resist sharing one of us together at the bottom of the post. When I visited them out at the beach this summer I decided to bring my new Contax 645 and shoot all film and I’m so glad I did!  It was a beautiful sunny day and we had fun running around the beach collecting sea shells.  It’s the perfect post to end the summer with.  Happy Labor Day!
