This ADORABLE family flew to Southern California from Arizona to celebrate little Charlee's second birthday and I was lucky enough to capture some of the fun! Their session took place at the Huntington Beach Pier and since it was Charlee's first time at the beach she was totally fascinated by the sea shells and just a bit terrified of the water... thankfully her mom and dad were there to "save her"! This session was a ton of fun not only because the family was super easy going and infectiously happy but it was one also one of the first sunny days we've had here in California in way too long. Charlee's mom is also a children's portrait photographer so I was feeling just a TAD bit more pressure than usual but we ended up getting some pretty great photos and I made some new friends too. Enjoy :)
