hug | santa monica, ca family photography

i love this family. like crazy love them.

they are kind, playful, gorgeous, heart-filled, tell great stories AND they love the beach and surf together?  done.  i'm hooked.

i first photographed them when sweet skye was just 8 months old and we captured her putting her toes in the ocean for the first time.
now sister mya is here and we did the same for her. 

this shoot was a full day of play.  we started with nap time for mya and worked our way thru outfits,  giggles,  dancing ring around the rosie,  the beach,  and wrapped with a walk on the pier... carousel rides and bubble tea. 

oh and just because we could (i was staying with them) we played the next morning too..

please forgive the way too many images in this post.  i really couldn't help myself.
  

baby lips. 
good morning mya!






set this shot up to be replica of one we took of  her sister at this age.   be still my heart.  those eyes!
