The Howard Family Holiday Portraits

We have know this bunch for over eight years now. It is a pleasure each year to do their holiday session and see how their family has grown! Enjoy some of our favorites in this post!

Emma calls this the "Turtle Picture" after an ornament they have on their tree.

Can't Catch Me I'm the Gingerbread Man!

"Run, run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!"

Carson @ Balboa Park; cue amazing light, gingerbread man and running!

Richard & Helen Holiday Portraits

My parents came to visit over Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful holiday and made the time for a photo shoot! I've attached some of our favorites from Balboa Park. We took a slow stroll from the organ pavilion through the botanical building. These two shaped me into the man I am today and after 31 years together they are still totally in love. Thanks to you for showing us how it's done!

See....still got it!

My favorite!

Grandchildren & Grandparents have such wonderful relationships.

Definitely!!

Sisters

This post can be called "sisters" for two reasons. First you have Charlotte and Maryanne, but you also have little Evangeline and Irene. Two sets of beautiful sisters, plus two handsome husbands and one adorable baby (that would also make an excellent sister some day!). The little girls all had the cutest matching dresses made by Maryanne. These three kiddos are all so dang cute. Eva and Irene have the most stunning blue eyes and Ellie has the cutest chubby cheeks. Have I mentioned how much they make me want a little girl?

Blake & Brooke Engagements

These two lovebirds are tying the knot in November at Candellas in Coronado. We are excited to shoot at Candellas again. It is such an awesome venue for smaller more intimate weddings. Anyways, they decided to do their engagement session at Balboa Park. It is a marvelous location for any session due to its variety of scenery and overall massive size. We had a great time exploring the park with Blake, Brooke and their sweet dog Olive. These guys are just effortlessly cute. If they're this cute in regular clothes they'll be extra awesome all spiffed up for their wedding!

Isn't Olive just the cutest thing?

To get this shot John had Olive laying on his chest!

Adorable right?

Sassy expressions & heavenly lighting? Yes please!

Do you see Olive?
