Christmas Cards for the Coad Family

A couple weeks ago, I raced to Newport Beach after work to take these pictures of the beautiful Coad family, who needed some photos for their annual Christmas card.  I had so much fun!  Even though it was a bit overcast, I think these came out pretty good (if I do say so myself).  We had fun goofing off at the beach, and they took me to a lovely dinner after.  These shots are all taken by lifeguard tower 19.  Enjoy!

Leaves and Autumn Love

Although we don't really have four real seasons around Southern California, I like to pretend we do. When I found some trees in my neighborhood that actually had changing leaves, I jumped at the chance to capture them in photos.  This impromptu photo shoot was completed in only 15 minutes, and my awesome little sister Stephanie agreed to being photographed only moments before we got down to it!  I can't believe how much she is growing up, in only a few short weeks she will be 17 years old! (which is making me start to feel old)

Also, sorry for the excessive amount of (similar) photos- it was too hard to pick my favorites this time around (she's just too gorgeous!).

p.s. dear friends, if you'd be willing to model for me- please let me know!
