claudine + steve + matthew. {family of three}

While visiting Los Angeles, we were so happy to do a shoot for Claudine and her family. We shot all around their home in Redondo Beach, and let me just tell you, we left just a wee bit jealous of the gorgeousness that surrounds them everyday! Steve actually grew up in Redondo beach too! How cool that he gets to live there now with his own family.

Starting off the shoot was like any other…getting to know each other and feeling comfortable. Matthew took about .003 seconds to feel right at home. :) I think this was literally one of the first 2 shots I took, and the only pic where he looks slightly shy.

Right off the bat we saw that Matthew was the little lover…always wanting to cuddle.

Could you guys look any more perfect?

We found this old church in the area a couple minutes before the shoot, and knew we had to go there.

This shot was completely Matthew’s idea…he said, “Let’s all look like we are sleeping.”

PERFECT + ADORABLE

Just before sunset we went back and they got on their beach cruisers. Claudine had the idea to incorporate them, and we thought that was SO great!!

One of my favorite family shots {ever}.

Towards the end of our shoot Brett’s brother brought us all coffees + a hot chocolate for Matthew. It was the PERFECT treat at the end of our 2 hrs of running around. After we all took a few sips Matthew busted out with a “HOLLLLAA!” Needless to say we were all laughing our butts off.

Boy, did he get a second wind! He must have gotten word that the last 5 minutes of the shoot were for his solo modeling career. :) He rocked it out.

Little cutie.

Claudine, Steve, and Matthew: Thank you guys so much for letting us come out there and invade your turf!! We had so much fun meeting and hanging with your sweet family. :) Matthew, you are such a cool kid!! One of the coolest 5 yr. olds I have ever met. Hopefully we will see you again down the road….

*LOVE*
