I Heart Faces Challenge - A Touch of Sun | Sacramento Children's Photographer

This week's challenge over at Iheartfaces is "Touch of Sun". I went out to my backyard today to play with my new lens and captured this while I was there. I just love sun flare these days, but this one was so different. It almost looks like he is being seen through my eye! In a way, it's a little eery, but I am really liking it. Anyhow, head on over to Iheartfaces and check out the other amazing entries!

 You may recognize one of the members in this beautiful family. She is one of my gorgeous senior reps, Class of 2012, and you can see more of her first session with me here.  After taking her images, her family asked me to take their family portraits...something that hadn't done in a very long while! I was honored and blessed to be asked and of course,  gladly accepted.


Not only are they all easy on the eyes, their hearts are huge and beautiful, too. It was so fun taking them to this fun, urban location. They were a little surprised when we got there, but I think they were convinced soon after. I just love juxtaposing such beauty next to grit, texture and interesting backgrounds. I think it just further shows them off, don't you?

 This family is golden. They are precious with each other and cling to their faith in God as a rock and a foundation. It shows.

 Seriously, is it even fair to have ALL the members of your family look like they belong in fashion magazines!?

 Over 20 years of marriage and they can still rock it!

 Thank you so much, precious {R} Family for making this session so enjoyable! I am blessed to have been the one to put your first family portrait on your wall to show off to the world! God Bless~Lisa

 I was so privileged to photograph this extended family a few weeks ago. I am such an advocate of yearly family pictures and it's always a beautiful thing when extended family can also join in. These kiddos are so lucky and blessed to have both sets of grandparents nearby to share their lives with. It was so neat to capture them all together on this special session.

 You would not believe how long this adorable couple have been married. Don't they look like newlyweds? Seriously, it's a beautiful, beautiful relationship.

 I loved capturing them all together, but also had so much fun capturing their nuclear families.

 

And last, but not least, here's Fabio. A very important member of the family that I was required and hired to photograph. No problem, he's a cutie too!
