Happy Thanksgiving!!! =)

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because of my family. I love my family so much and our tradition of lounging around the house, eating as much as humanely possible, watching football all day and then eating as much as humanely possible again all while spending time together made every Thanksgiving incredibly memorable and awesome.

I am thankful for my family for so faithfully and trustingly supporting my dream: La Brisa Photography. Lastly, I am thankful for b and her husband and family for making La Brisa what it is today which has exceeded my every expectation. You are all amazing and I cannot thank you enough.

For a very special surprise birthday gift, I photographed the incredibly gorgeous S family at a pumpkin patch!

How sweet is that? We had an awesome time running around and trying to keep up with their adorable son!

The A Family | Joy Session | California | b & Chris

I graduated high school with the parents of the A Family and when they suggested that we do their Joy Session at our old high school, I was super excited because it would definitely be a walk down memory lane. Plus, I could show b my old stomping grounds! The A Family is ridiculously adorable. With soooo much personality, they were incredibly easy to photograph and such a joy to spend time with them. Congratulations and many blessings to the newest addition to your amazing family! =)

Thank you again for selecting La Brisa to photograph your amazing family. I hope that you LOVE your images and we cannot wait until next time!
