can’t believe it’s been 2 years since Kingston19 Photography became a reality…and The Mister Family were the first ones to dare go where no one had gone before…

be the very FIRST clients…

I learned so much about what “not” to do…like never…ever start a session during midday sun…

big No No!

I’m happy that they came back for more and it’s a really good thing that I’ve learned a couple things since then =)

gotta love those ties…

cactus laughs

don’t these smiles melt your heart?

all laughs…

tickle brothers…

this blog post should’ve been called “faces of Connor”…feel free to go back and take a look =)

hallway glances…

hanging out on the grass…

lots of faces…

more hallway glances…

looking up…

hallway races…

brotherly love…

little private time…

one boy each…

I love Kaden’s pose…something caught his attention over there…

Kaden easily picks up Connor…

don’t you just feel the love?

Big thanks to The Misters for coming back =)

here’s the gorgeous Perez Family…

Robert and Angie are great parents and have done an amazing job raising their children…

not only are they so adorable but they’re extremely well-behaved…

and they think their parents are cool!

I hope when I have kids they’ll think I’m cool =)

I wonder what it’s like for Cesar…having 3 sisters

looks like he loves it

I’m digging the outfits…a lot

remember the days when you thought it was not cool to see your parents kiss?

I do

meet the sisters…so precious

little quiet time for mom and dad…I know life can be hectic with 4 kiddos

these ladies are so beautiful…

more private time…I had to sneak in the semi private time when I could

all about the little man…

overjoyed older sister…such a pretty smile

from left to right

“oh brother”

“I love my sisters”

“I’m trying to hold in my laugh”

don’t they look like such proud parents?

can I say something more cheesy than usual?

“who framed Angie and Robert?”

sorry I couldn’t resist

some guy time…

I love the reflections…

Cesar is so sweet

family on the go…

such a model…

the adoring look…

view from the top…

sitting in a doorway of bricks…

the setting sun…

relaxing on dad’s shoulder…

she loves him…

the smiling family of 6…

the silly faces…except mom =)

you know that warm fuzzy feeling you get inside when you feel so overjoyed?

that’s how I felt when Angie booked a session…not only because I would get to photograph her and a beautiful family…

but I’d get to see and capture memories for an old friend from high school…

here’s to Class of ’96 Kix!!!

lots lots more to come…

stay tuned =)

meet the soon to be 4th grader Ida and the 6th grader Ryan…I first photographed these gorgeous kids last summer, again in spring of this year, and again last week.

I know it’s really only been a year since their first session but I feel like they’ve grown up so much since then…

besides the fact that they’re growing up so beautifully, they are ridiculously smart and they’ve taught me a thing or two (I know that’s not very hard) but trust me they’re smart.

they’ve done things that I can only dream of doing one day…like ride a hovercraft…that’s right a hovercraft…don’t they only have those in the glades?

anywho lets commence, here are a couple photos from their previous sessions

summer ’09 in the park (Left), spring ’10 at the mission (Right)

this time we stopped by Laguna Beach

these 2 are very competitive so we played a little “stare down” game…no blicking allowed and arm wrestling…they loved it

we headed down to the beach…

not sure what those numbers mean but maybe it’s some programming code or zipcode?

I love this photo…something tells me Ryan will always have her back

the water was freeeeeezing but Ida couldn’t get enough!

I had to share these feet…

we headed back…to play with lips and mustaches

aren’t his eyes gorgeous? Or maybe it’s the stare

of course we had to include Dexter…sit boo boo sit…good dog

she’s having a moment “I’m the king of the world…oops I’m the Queen of the world”

I’m so happy I have the opportunity to watch them grow…before you know they’ll be off the college…au revoir till next time

Lizards & Cartwheels

Raymona Chin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 06:17:56 +0000

had the opportunity to shoot Ryan and Ida again…great personalities make for great photographic memories…in between photos there was time for countless lizard chases and cartwheels

all hugs

remember that personality I was talking about? Here it is…

here’s the gymnast Ida

the soccer and basketball player, Ryan

togetherness

more silly faces

looking up

subtle smile

distracted…such a sweet smile

take…these broken wings…

back at the mission last weekend (photos coming soon)…at the end of the session I saw this butterfly following us. Little did he know I was following him

tattered butterfly

A few more…

the model continues

daydreaming on the bench

happy thoughts

the staircase

all laughs

over the shoulder
