This photo shoot was a large family shoot in Irvine. The scenery was really pretty and the Rodriguez Family was a lot of fun.  This was a first lifestyle shoot for this family and my goal was to have them feel comfortable to capture natural movement & expressions as well as taking some classic family portraits.  We did the traditional portraits which included mom & dad with kids, everyone as a group, just siblings, and everyone as a group together.  So those pictures everyone is looking at camera and I just click away.  Then I ask them now to look at each other, to smile, laugh, give a hug, just a big group snuggle.  You always get a few chuckles when you do this and that’s my favorite part. To catch someone laughing or smiling so hard your eyes are closed.  I love these kinds of photos. This is just a little sneak Peek of some of the pictures we took. Hope you enjoy them !
