Joshua [Burton Chace Park Family Portraits]

MARINA DEL REY FAMILY + CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Well, as promised, there's a lot of new sessions to be added to the site, and what better a way to kick things off than with Mike, Jodi, and their two-year old son, Joshua. The four of us met up in Burton Chace Park, Marina del Rey on a perfect Saturday morning, and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing time. Mike and Jodi told me they had not had professional pictures taken before, so I really wanted them to feel relaxed, be themselves, and be able to laugh at me and my crazy camera zipping around. Joshua had no trouble with that at all -- as soon as his dad let him loose, Joshua hit the ground running, dancing, and kept me on my toes. Lots of hide and go seek, blowing bubbles, gummy bears -- what more could a photographer ask for. I think Joshua liked it, too. ;)

At the time of this shoot, Mike and Jodi were eagerly expecting a new addition to their family. So, congratulations to you both again, and thanks for letting me capture this special time in your lives.
