Vanessa, Rafael, Melodie & Eva. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

There’s nothing like wearing warm fuzzy sweaters, sipping on hot cocoa, and spending pretty crisp mornings outdoors for some laughs in front of the camera with loved ones. Yup, these are some of my favorite things to do in autumn. I got to enjoy one of  these with this beautiful family on a recent chill October morning in Irvine. Baby Eva is the newest addition to this happy family. A little over a six months ago, I had the pleasure of taking photos of Vanessa’s perfect bump. Now, Eva (five months) is as bright-eyed as can be. Her sister, Melodie is surely getting brownie points with Santa this year because she’s a sweet, gentle, and caring older sister.

I couldn’t even handle all of the cuteness that Melodie and Eva were bringing to this session. They were wearing adorable outfits from Zara, which is only my favorite store (for kids) ever! Of course Vanessa and Rafael’s affection for their girls also made these images beautiful. Take a look! As always, thank you Vanessa and Rafael for allowing me to help you capture your growing family.

 This one is my favorite. I love the way they all are just so enamored with their newbie.
