So its holiday portrait season once again. One of the first families to have contacted us was Emmanuel and Sybil and their baby Samuel. He is such an adorable little boy and because his mom is a shutterbug – Samuel was totally used to the camera and even smiled for us on the cue of “show us your teeth!” We spent a cool autumn afternoon in Southern California (yes there can be seasons too in Sunny So.Cal) which was perfect for their warm coat photo session!

We cannot believe how much Samuel has grown within the past 10 months. When we first documented his first Christmas with the family he was crawling and now he is walking. It’s amazing to see how fast children grow which is why taking pictures – either personally or professionally – is so important! It’s great to freeze frame these small moments to look back on. Now, for the photographs of this cozy family. Enjoy!
