Family Fun at Strawberry Farms!

Another long blog post but these families are sooo cute, I can’t cut it down! I remember Jamie from back in my competitive skating days. It was in Lake Arrowhead at the Rim of the World competition, 1994 and I was competing in Preliminary level. Jamie won and I got fourth. She did a double flip and I didn’t… I was jealous. Fast forward about 10 years or so and we ended up teaching skating at the same ice rink.

Jamie wanted a shoot with all of the family… her family, mom and dad, grandma, sister and her family. I knew it would be a challenge with three kids under the age of three but it worked out great (most of the time)! Jamie’s mom wanted to shoot at a red barn. I’m always up for a challenge so I googled red barn in Orange County. The first one to pop up was Strawberry Farms in Irvine. They were nice enough to let us use the barn and the area around!

Jaylee and Jackson striking a pose!

SO cute! This was one of the first shots I took and all three were so cooperative. I figured the rest of the shoot would be easy! =)

The formal family shot…

The not so formal but super fun shot! These kids love to fly!

Love Jaylee’s face in this one!

Four generations!

See the logo on this photo? Designed by the guy in the photo, Josh. He did an awesome job! I told him I wanted it to look “naturey” without looking “naturey” (yeah, I wouldn’t want to work with me either). I couldn’t believe how right on he was with this design. It’s exactly what was in my head that I couldn’t accurately describe. =) Be sure to check out his website!

Jamie’s sister, Amy and her beautiful family!

It’s fun to fly!!

Such a cute family!

Definitely the one they want over the fireplace. =)

Jackson is so stinkin’ cute. I love that he plopped himself down right in front of me!

It all started with these two…

Dad and his gorgeous daughters…

I have to end with this one of Jacob. Such a sweetie full of fun! I thoroughly enjoyed their shoot!
