{simplyPORTRAITS} - FAMILY DAY - PLEASANTON, CA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

So nice to have family days, right? I enjoy fun, carefree, chill-laxin' days with my family.Though at times we're not doing anything super extraordinary, it's just fun to hang out.Most especially lately, I cannot believe how fast my kids are growing......I try to take advantage of any kind of family time we get.Working with families makes me appreciate my own even more! =)Having family portrait sessions is not only a chance to capture memoriesbut also is a unique way of having that family "together time".Ruiz Family: thank you for choosing me as your family photographer.Since you have a daughter and a son too, they remind meso much of my little munchkins when they used to be at this age.We have the best of both worlds. Enjoy and love 'em up!!! =)

A SPECIAL DAY WITH MONKEY...MOMMY AND DADDY TOO!

KK...is what her loved-ones call her. Little Miss KK is just too adorable for words! "Monkey" was pretty cute too.We bonded so well during this shoot that she was quite sad when the session was over.Next time, she promised that we would go see and feed the ducks together.Though it was a cold and chilly day, we still managed to have an awesome shoot.Here are some photos to share with you all.
