The Bridges // A Los Angeles Family Session

 

I spend most of my time as a wedding photographer here in the Bay Area, but I still pepper my year with beautiful hybrid lifestyle/documentary family sessions. Most of my families have met me through friends or other families I've photographed - something I'm incredibly proud of. 

I met the Bridge family first when Christin was pregnant with Poppy at her brother's wedding (one of my first destination weddings ever, in Puerto Vallarta!), and I photographed them for the first time when Poppy was born, and then again about eight months old. 

Seeing them for the first time in this new phase of their life - new home, new-ish little brother - was so exciting. Watching my clients' lives change and families grow is one of the most profound pleasures of this job. I had such a blast photographing the Bridge Family again, now featuring little James.

In early November, my dear sweet friends Michael & Phoebe gave birth to little Nathaniel. I got to meet him this month, and damn is he beautiful.

We spent most of the morning talking, Phoebe bouncing around the apartment trying to put him at ease. In our last few minutes of our visit, I brought my camera out and took a few shots. They are some of my favorite yet.
