time for the Z-fam!!! amanda prince encinitas family photographer

July 28, 2010 – 1:07 pm

Can you see how much fun we had! The Z-family was so great to work with, this was all mom wanted for Mother’s Day and her 2 handsome boys delivered a great gift :) It’s great to work with families at this point in their lives, before the adult kids have gone too far from home and hold this amazing time of exciting change forever through family photos.

Don’t forget to like the FB Fanpage for the latest session availability and extended sneak peeks.

I hope you all enjoy this little peek, you were all so fun to work with!

the marvelous M-Family! amanda prince cardiff family photograper

July 15, 2010 – 7:03 pm

So I met up with the M-Family expecting a family session and quickly noticed the cutest baby bump as mom got out of the car! While this wasn’t planned as a maternity session, we did get in some great maternity AND family shots!

After such crazy weather here in So-Cal, we finally had some fun in the sun on the beach :)
It was great meeting you all and I look forward to meeting the newest M-Family member in a few months!

amazing time with the M-family! San Diego beach photographer amanda prince

June 28, 2010 – 7:27 pm

Can you believe this family? SO gorgeous, SO fun, SO fantastic to work with!
I love working with families on vacation ( the M-fam came out from Denver) because well, they are on vacation and ready for a good time :)

Mr-D had the best hair and fun attitude and seemed quite ready to show off his Beiber moves-ha ha. While little miss-G took a tad longer to warm up to me, she ended up having a blast too.

Please remember to check out the Facebook Fanpage and click on the like button to stay up to date and get extended sneak peeks!

Thanks again to the M Family for a truly wonderful evening on the beach, enjoy your peek!

June 18, 2010 – 5:38 pm

Yup- he’s here!!! and perfectly gorgeous and he does seem to look a bit like big sis and dad ;)

Gosh, I just love working with this family! it’s has been 2 years since I met them and took maternity/newborn photos for their lovely daughter and NOW I got to do it again and meet their precious little man who has already fit perfectly into his new family. One day, he’ll realize just how lucky he is as he sees the love captured here as they all gaze into his perfect little eyes.
Not to be outdone, miss-M had to show how grown up she has gotten as well! She sure loves her baby brother and was so proud to help out when she could.

Enjoy your peek and this precious time with your new family, you have been truly blesses and thanks again for allowing me to join you!

whole lotta cuteness with the M-Family! Carlsbad family photoghrapher

June 7, 2010 – 8:47 pm

At just 7 months old, little man-J had me laughing so hard with his “talking” and adorable expressions, this session was really too cute for words! Add in miss-K with some fun summer fruit and a lemon toss and you end up with some adorable pics. At this age, I really wanted to keep things about them just being themselves and they certainly delivered!

Enjoy your little peek!

Don’t forget to head on over to the Facebook Fanpage for aditional sneak peeks tomorrow…

Hey, it’s the H-family again!

June 4, 2010 – 7:06 pm

 

 

 

 

I am lucky and proud to say that this wonderful family and I have become great friends over the past few years! Little miss-J and my Teagan are almost exactly the same age and met at playgroup years ago, now we are all best buds and love to get together whenever we can!

So, I feel kinda like like a proud aunt showing off these cuties! Little man-E just celebrated his first birthday and miss-J will be 4 in August. They are both just the sweetest, most beautiful kiddos and it has been wonderful to document their growth over the past few years. And their parents aren’t bad either- lol  Kelly has become such a great friend and I am SO thankful to have her in my life ♥♥♥

So enough sappy stuff for now, if you like these photos and want to see MORE- head on over the facebook fanpage where you will now be able to see extended sneak peeks!!
