• one momma and her four boys | family photo session in san clemente, ca •
this momma just happens to be patti schmidt, photographer from new jersey. and these four (well three minus husband) boys just happen to be the most adorable and sweet things for their ages that i have ever ever met. they had none of the typical “airs” that teenage boys normally have. they were completely happy to play and love their family for the afternoon.
and i was completely happy to watch them do it.
we had a ton of fun walking around san clemente. total stomping ground for me, fun to take them there. they are a bigtime surf/skate family so i thought the vibe in this chiller beach town would fit them well. and i loved their casual clothes, totally them, not trying too hard. love love love that.
these next two are so classic. after i shot them on the lifeguard tower, i had them get down and i climbed up. i asked them to lie down in the sand. i asked mom and dad to smoocheroo, and look at little man-and look where he ended up after the first kiss!
he’s all, um excuse me-i want to get in on that action!
so fun. i left feeling so good about having boys of my own.
