This fall, Chris and Ana brought their family from the Houston area to Southern California to visit Disneyland and the San Diego Zoo, and they squeezed in a beach session at the Hotel del Coronado. It was their daughter Aspen’s sixth birthday, and this was one last getaway as a family of four before baby number three arrives.
The kids were super well-behaved and dialed in to all my requests! Aspen twirled around in her dress a little princess, and three-year-old Caeleb kept everyone smiling with his adventurous spirit and sandy hands. He loved roughhousing with Dad. The kids didn’t mind the cold water, and the photos turned out natural and joyful.
Ana loves how these photos mark the end of a sweet chapter. “The pictures came out so special because the smiles were not forced. The kids were very comfortable and happy!”
