The Cosina Family

Okay, first of all I just want to say how much I love my job and how blessed I feel that I get the opportunity to capture people's lives. The Cosina family gave me yet another chance to give someone memories....and I had such a blast doing it!!
For me doing family sessions is so enjoyable and relaxing. There is no stress and I set it up so everyone can just be themselves with little detail to think about. For any of you out there that might be thinking about doing a session, I hope seeing some of the Cosina family photos will give you an idea of how I work and what I have to offer. How sweet is this face?!! Jayda was such a doll to photograph...each and every one of her expressions was perfect. And truly that is what I love about my job, there doesn't have to be perfection....for me it's about capturing people for who they are and in a moment in time. Not setting up a bunch of poses and saying "Okay, everyone say cheese" (Who made that expression up anyway?)


Brother resisting a kiss from sister....oh, how things will never change.















































Daddy and his little girl were having a good time together as Jayda found a perfect spot to sit, right on dad's shoulders. :) I love doing sequences like this, because you can truly capture the essence of the moment. Memories I hope they will enjoy for a very long time.














































































Nothing beats a beautiful fall day, setting the stage with a full blanket of multicolored leaves. One of the main reasons I enjoy going on location to do a shoot (instead of in a studio) is because Mother Nature provides us with free breathtaking backdrops pretty much every day! This way each photos session has a different feel and varying backdrops.

Meet Grant.....

This is Grant, and let me tell you, he was so wonderful to work with!!! Not only is he completely adorable, but he lasted for two hours of taking pictures without a complaint. For a five month old, I would say that is pretty amazing!!
It was fun to do this photo session because Grant's mom (Rachel) came with some fun ideas for pictures, hence the Santa hat, colorful blanket, and backgrounds. We went to the beach in Coronado, CA and then to a park near by, where there were several colorful toys to take pictures with.

Thanks Grant and Rachel for making this such a great day!!!
