Family Portraits

Ok so I have been wanting to get family portraits done forever. The last time we actually had family portraits was when Alex was about 2 months old. I know it's a long time and if that's not bad enough the portraits were done at a department store which I won't name. So basically it looks like everyone elses family portrait that showed up that day. To me family portraits are so important and really tell a lot about a family. It's also great to have someone capture your family in a way you don't often see them. A couple of months ago Brian Khang posted on his website that he would be generously giving his services in exchange for a donation made for his friend, who will be running a marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I jumped at the chance.. I knew this would be a worthy cause and to be able to get family portraits? That was a bonus. On Sunday we met up with Brian in Newport Beach and had a blast shooting with him! Alex was in lala land as per usual. This kid has an imagination that just doesn't quit! My favorite part was hanging out with Brian and Helen for dinner after the shoot. We went to Nick's parents restaurant and introduced Brian to some killer Armenian food! Brian thanks again for capturing my family so beautifully! I stole a couple to show you you but you can check out his blog for the rest. Oh and while we are talking about the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society my dear friend Susan (we affectionately call her Bucket) is holding a raffle to help raise some money for the marathon she will be participating in. If you are a scrapper and want some great stuff check out her site for more details on the raffle and her stamps on Etsy (which are totally adorable) All the proceeds from her store go to this very worthy cause. Im so proud of her and know she is going to do great! Girl I will see you at salsa class next week (I will explain this later but dont expect pictures of me salsa dancing) This is my favorite!
