McCormick Family | O'Neill Park | Family Photographer

Got the Christmas card (so cute!) so its safe to post...

O'Neill park has become one of my favorite places to shoot.  God's handiwork is evident in every little crevice of the park. We live in such an amazing area, right up against the city of Rancho we have this wilderness park that makes you feel like you're so far away. The phrase of the day for this shoot was "look you guys this is right in our backyard!" I love that Darlene, I think about it every time I'm there now.  We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area.
Ok, I have to say I LOVE this family!!! I had so much fun with them a few months ago in O'Neill park. I think I was laughing through most of this shoot.  Darlene you have a beautiful family inside and out!  I love your kids they are a blast...Thank you Patrick, Darlene, Abby, Chris, and Gracie for a fun afternoon!

Emily Ruth | O'Neil Park Photographer

When I need to try a new location or a new shooting technique I know I can call one of the Ruth girls (including mom!) and they are always willing to go out and humor me!  They are all such good sports especially when Cody is along for the fun.  When I called Emily she was more than willing to go along to O'Neil park with Cody and I!  That day Cody was in rare form and had us laughing the entire time,  the child who hates his picture taken was in almost every shot!  Many times I just moved to block him with Emily so he's in there even if you don't see him!  So glad I had a chance to shoot Emily, I had been wanting to shoot her since the braces came off a few months ago.  I'm so glad you showed me that pretty smile Em!

P.S. - Emily - I had so much fun with you and can't wait to take you out on my next adventure, but you really need to learn to talk less...

Ross & Debbie Chapman | Los Rios District San Juan Capistrano

My sister and her husband came down for their anniversary trip to Disneyland in September.  When they were married 2 years ago they made Disneyland their honeymoon spot as they are both Disney Lovers!  They come down every year for their anniversary and we get a chance to hang out at the Happiest Place on Earth!  This year we took a side trip to Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano for lunch and a few impromptu photos.  I had been trying to get photos of Cody and he was not wanting grandma to take pictures of him AGAIN, but when I was shooting Debbie and Ross he backed himself up against them to be in the picture!  Love you guys and can't wait for your next Disney trip...
