Grateful for Fridays and that sprinkling of sunlight in this room. I’m just starting to feel better after having spent much of this last week in bed with covid. Happy to be on the other side for sure and the warm sun and this spring-like February day is exactly what I need. #mywholehome #habitandhome #simplehomestyle #cljsquad #documentedlife 
Posting a handful from their extended family session earlier this month, and I swear I love these kinds sessions more and more each time I do one. Her sweet dad had tears in his eyes as I photographed them together, and I’m pretty sure he’ll forever hold a spot in my heart. #extendedfamilysession #extendedfamily #ocfamilyphotography #orangecountyfamilyphotography #documentyourdays #liveauthentic #loveauthentic #thepursuitofjoyproject #thehappynow #picoftheday #seekthesimplicity #communityovercompetition ##irvinephotographer #lagunabeachphotographer #newportbeachphotographer #californiaphotographer #dearphotographer #sonjahammadphotography 
This is me. My oldest and I took a little day trip with our dog to Palm Springs on Monday since she didn't have school. Getting take-out at our favorite Italian restaurant there was our first priority of the day, followed by picking up dessert at another favorite little eatery. We also got our pup some treats and then ate in our car next to this pretty spot. We did a little exploring here and then more exploring on the sand dunes right outside of town, and while I'm pretty sure we spent more time driving to and from Palm Springs than actually being there, it was exactly the kind of day we needed. Raija is already planning our next #daytripwiththedog (what I'm calling these adventures.) 📷: @iamraija #ocphotographer #seekthesimplicity #documentyourdays #sonjahammadphotography #follow_this_light #ocfamilyphotographer #subject_light #communityovercompetition #thepursuitofjoyproject 
Getting back to blogging, and I’m starting with this sweet family. ❤️ If you’re a photographer wondering what to do when little ones are less than enthusiastic about having you photograph them, or if you’re a parent wondering what makes the biggest difference in making your session beautiful and full of all the good memories, click on the link in my bio. #thatsdarling #lightinspired #subjectlight #follow_this_light #ocfamilyphotography #orangecountyfamilyphotography #liveauthentic #loveauthentic #beach #chasinglight #thepursuitofjoyproject #letthembelittle #inpspiredmotherhood #seekthesimplicity #communityovercompetition #irvinephotographer #lagunabeachphotographer #newportbeachphotographer #californiaphotographer
