Finn, Hazel, Ivy and Katie - A fun family session in Yorba Linda

This is one amazing and unique family. The children have different mothers, but share the same sperm donor father. They all met on the internet through a donor registration designed for families to connect with their genetic kindred.

S. Krystal is the mother of Finn, Denise and CJ are the mothers of Hazel and Ivy and Mary is the mother of Katie. Two of the families live right here in Southern California and this was the first time they got to meet Katie and Mary who came all the way down from Indiana so she could bond with her siblings.

It was fun to see how much they looked alike, to see how well they got along and how well they didn't get along. Just like your average brothers and sisters.

Goes to show that the typical family dynamic is ever changing and that as long as you have love, you have family.

Sisterly Love

Meet sisters Bella and Paige.  I photographed them while they spent some time at a park in Huntington Beach sliding on slides, blowing bubbles and being what comes natural to them, 2 cutie pie peas in a pod.

Thanks to the parents, Mark and Olga! Stephanie and Cari for basically everything! And a big thanks to my special bubble makers Monica, Nikki and Trevor!  And thank YOU for checking out my photos.

If you have a sibling, I dare you to give them a hug right now.  I triple-dog-dare you!

Baby Scarlett

I had the honor to photograph baby Scarlett's first photo shoot.  At yet a very young age, Scarlett has had her fair amount of ups and downs to say the least.  She was born pre-mature, but with her parents dedication and love and her strong spirit she is here.

From the moment I met her I knew she was going to make my job easy.  She was nothing but smiles and even smiled for me all the way to the very end of the shoot.  What a trooper!  Scarlett is a joy to be around and I hope I captured some of that in her photos.

At home

Reeeaaaach

Eating her veggies

This little piggy

And I'll conclude this post with my favorite from the shoot

Makes me smile every time I look at it
