This was a perfect day for the beach! Of course we weren’t the only ones who had the same idea, so there were quite a few people to watch out for through my camera’s viewfinder. The most amazing part was how much the light changed throughout the portrait session. It was a bit overcast when we first started shooting, which is pretty normal for Southern California in Janurary, but about halfway through the portraits the sun dipped below the clouds and WOW……it was just so rich and light……what a treat! The Hamadeh family were delightful to work with. Seidy and Bassim are so laid back with their three children (ages: almost 2, 3, and 5) and it was such a fun environment to photograph in. I loved trying to get each one of kids to smile/pose for me, though with the two younger boys I became content to simply have some form of their face showing, rather than just capturing them running away from me!
Love these shots with Dad and his three kids.
When I can, I try to snap a few images of each child separately with their parents. I guess I see these types of photos being displayed at the child’s graduation or wedding once they have grown up.
What a fun family!
Now that is a HAPPY 2 year old!
Just adorable.
Dad’s are Masters of getting their children to laugh.
These candid moments are great.
You can start seeing the change in lighting. The sun was on Full Blast for the rest of the portraits.
I was very happy when I finally got a good expression out of this little guy!
After the portrait session each of the kids “earned” a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and they decided to share with the camera.
Looking forward to playing with you guys again sometime soon!
