Gift certificates are a perfect way to give the gift of memories to your loved ones.  This family received one for Christmas last year, and called me to set up their photo shoot.  They live in Riverside, and with me being about 70 miles west of them, we decided to meet in the middle at a lovely park called Carbon Canyon Regional Park in Brea, CA.  Their two little ones were awesome, even in the 80 plus degree heat with 90% humidity.  I love the smiles on the parents ~ truly happy people with gorgeous kiddos.
