The Redondo Beach Pier is such an awesome spot for photos… it truly is a unique space and a favorite of mine to shoot at! This family received a gift certificate from their real estate agent a couple of years ago for a family session with me, and have been clients and friends ever since. Such a wonderful and genuine group; thank you for trusting me to capture your lives.

enjoy! xo missy

And now this family of 3 is a family of 4. This dad has his hands full with a house full of women, but with a good sense of humor, I think he’ll do just fine.  I love how this baby’s big sis was so loving, and kissed all over her little sis.  Oh, the fun they will have together!

Enjoy! xoxo, missy

I did.  I just put 39 images into this blog post. I know, it is a lot, but I can’t help myself.  I love the story of this extended family…moms and dads, daughters, sons, uncles, aunts, cousins, significant others and just a whole lotta love.

I need to tell you that I got a Facebook message from a gal that I went to high school with a few months ago, inquiring about a photo session.  Now, we knew each other, but ran in different circles of friends.  After spending the afternoon with her, and her beautiful family for this photo session, I wish that we had hung out more in high school!  What a lovely, kind and thoughtful woman, with darling boys, and a very sweet husband.  As I was photographing her and her family, I wondered about her life in our old home town…what her experiences were like, and what her favorite memories were.  I will say that I so enjoyed catching up with her, and sharing our lives since graduation in 1987 quite a few years ago.

I love this session, we talked about what activities that the family would do together…and the things that she came up with were amazing.  Booce ball, bubbles, cats cradle, making dinner, and just hanging out and enjoying each other.

Thank you so so so much, Meredith, for trusting me to capture your story.

Enjoy. xo. Missy

What a beautiful family.  They came ready for this shoot, with thoughtful preparations by this momma ~ awesome outfits, new bedroom bedding, and finishing touches that made me know how much doing this photo session meant to this family. If you see smiles and joy, even laughter happening in these images, it is as genuine as it looks. Honestly, I loved being a part of this.

I love taking photos in my client’s homes, which is where we started. We found neat spots at the end of their street, with beautiful light…then headed down to the sand of Manhattan Beach where the sun was heading down to set.  It was really beautiful.

Enjoy these. I sure enjoyed taking them.

I love taking pictures of people…of personalities, of love, of relationships, of connections, of giggles and of real life. Sometimes beauty takes on a bit of messiness, but in the end, you will be able to see the real and authentic love that you and your people have for one another. And that…is what matters.
