Pretty Peyton and Mom and Dad Too {Claremont Photographer}

Isn't Peyton Pretty... She just stole my heart with those big blue eyes and adorable little bunny. Her mommy has a very special place in my heart and I am thrilled that they chose me to be their family photographer. We met up in downtown Claremont for their portrait session. The lighting was so pretty and natural. I love photographing in Claremont, you can usually find good lighting anytime of the day, however the late afternoon is my favorite.

Here a just a few of the photos that stole my heart. Enjoy...

Laguna Beach Photographer/Orange County Photographer/Family Photos

I received a phone call from Jason, the dad, he wanted to surprise his wife for her Birthday and give her a gift certificate for family photos by Michelle Johnson Photography. That's me!!! What a sweetheart! This family, which includes a set of 10 year old twins, has never had a professional family photo. I was honored to be the one to give them such a wonderful family heirloom to pass on to further generations. We headed down to the coast and just had a ball playing at Laguna beach. There were so many amazing photos, I do not know how they will choose! Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

You can see, we were all about having fun!!! Photographs at the beach are so casual, fun and spontaneous!

I love this photo on the lifeguard stand.

Love the feet!

This one is priceless!

Having fun at Laguna Beach! What a perfect day!



I think this should be a poster size photo on their wall for sure!
Thank you Harker family for the fun day at the beach and I look forward to giving you many more family porrtait memories in the future!
