San Diego Family Portraits :: The Faulknors

Cindy — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:49:16 +0000

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite family sessions ever!

Let me introduce you to the lovely Faulknors!

Brett and Emily are awesome wedding photographers that we regularly hang out with! They are fun, love Jesus, stylish and are always generous in sharing their insights with us! If its wasn’t because of their encouragement, Daniel wouldn’t have quit his job and joined me at Orange Turtle Photography full time. So needless to say we were so happy to shoot some family portraits for them. They are super fabulous in front of the camera! :) We had a blast!

We took a few pictures of just Emily and Brett as well.

I absolutely love this last one. It’s as though their son, North, is saying, “what the heck are they doing?”

Bay Area lifestyle family session

Orange Turtle — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 06:06:37 +0000

One of the perks of being wedding photographers is that we get to travel quite a bit. We mostly travel to northern California for weddings but that’s totally good enough for me! When we went to the bay area for the 11.11.11 wedding, we got there a day early so we could squeeze in some family shoots in our schedule – such as this one! They are such an adorable family! And the weather totally cooperated, too. We were blessed by incredible golden but soft sunset light.

well Cara, aren’t you just the cutest thing!

We also took some environmental/lifestyle portraits at Cara’s room. I love being able to capture this – Cara in her own room that she’ll grow up in.

The holiday season is approaching and we’ve been shooting more family portraits lately! So I want to share this cute family session that we shot recently with you guys!

Coronado Beach Family Session

Orange Turtle — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 01:39:17 +0000

A lot of people might feel like beach shots are so over done. Not us. We love shooting at the beach. Everyone ALWAYS end up having a fun relaxing time at the beach. And honestly, a portrait session is never about the location. It’s always about the people – the beautiful, amazing, fun loving human beings who love each other.

Love – is what brought them together. It was the dad’s 60th birthday and the kids flew in to have a surprise celebration with the dad. How sweet and thoughtful is that?

p.s. Shots are taken by both Cindy & Daniel.

p.p.s. We are now booking October and November Family sessions! Please see our portrait site for more details. :)

The Craig Fam :: San Diego Family Portrait Session

Orange Turtle — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:55:27 +0000

What I love about shooting a family session with a family that I have shot before is that I get to see how much the kids have grown. I took some family pictures for the Craigs last year when Ever (the little boy) was still a tiny thing! Now he’s a pro at walking and playing!

p.s.If you are interested in scheduling a family session with us, please visit our portrait site www.orangeturtleportraits.com for more details! Our earliest availability for family sessions is October.

At the end of the shoot, I also grabbed an adorable shot of Ever with his cousin, Jaden! :)

A couple in love, a puppy and a turtle make a cute family!

A sisters session!

Cindy — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:54:44 +0000

Hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! We didn’t have any weddings this weekend which was awesome in a way that we get to relax and hang out with my friends – something that I don’t normally get to do on a weekend since we are always working. We have been shooting A LOT the past few weeks – on the weekends as well as during the week – which means that we’ll have lots of wonderful images to share with you guys!!

And today I would like to share with you some adorable images from a sisters session! :) I love that they have such close relationships with each other. It’s really inspiring!

And I took some individual shots for them as well:

Aren’t they so adorable?

More to come….tomorrow!! :)

The Fengs :: Seattle Family Session

Orange Turtle — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 20:30:23 +0000

When we were in Seattle, we stayed with our dear friends Yee and Carolyn Feng and their two adorable kids!!! They are such a crazy fun family! Their 2 year old son, Jediah, is incredibly smart AND funny (just like his dad)!! He is constantly cracking us up with new dance moves and funny things that he says. I really can’t believe how verbally advanced he is!

Ellie is a beauty just like her mama.

After we put the kids back in the car, we also took some pictures of Yee and Carolyn alone. :)

The kids started screaming in the car so even though the sun had just came out, we had to end our shoot right there. :) Don’t worry, no kids were hurt during the photo shoot. :) The car was right behind me and Daniel.

Back at their place, we played with Jediah a lot. He’s so fun to play with! At some point, Daniel picked up an Elmo camera and pretend taking pictures with Jediah.

Here’s a video of Jediah (and Daniel) dancing!! :)

Jediah also took some pictures with our camera! He’s a natural! Check out some pics that he took of Daniel and his little sister Ellie!!

Jediah is so talented, right? We are considering hiring Jediah as our assistant at our next wedding. :)

The Tan Fam!

A golf themed family session

Cindy — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:49:57 +0000

A few weeks ago we photographed the awesome Kanoya family! Justin Kanoya is a DJ in San Diego and we worked with him at Michelle & Mike’s wedding. Not only was he so easy to work with, he is also a very creative individual! When he told me that he has a fun concept for his family session, we knew that it would be awesome!!

Here are some pics that we love from the session!
