I met James & Melissa at the Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook where they were married 2 1/2 years ago to do their family session including their 3 month old daughter Taylor. I thought it was such a great idea to go back and visit this special place for them to capture their growing family. Little Taylor is such a cutie and it seems like the 3 month olds are making it about 40 minutes…then she had enough, fell asleep and we got some more photos of just her

As we were shooting these kittens came out from the bushes. Melissa was working it…”see they like us”…James said they had enough cats at home (4) and they couldn’t afford anymore…well when Melissa talked about bringing home some extra sushi for these little ones since they were staying the weekend there I understood why they couldn’t afford anymore and wished I was a cat in their house!!
They are cat lovers and once came home from Florida with one. They just couldn’t resist. These little ones followed us all the way back from our session and were hanging out by my car. I resisted…and I think Melissa determined they are probably happier living at the beautiful resort playing all day long
As I arrived to the resort I saw this patch of grass and just had to get some shots of Tayor laying in it. At the end of the session we were looking for it and I just about gave up. Thanks Melissa for trusting me and keeping us going….I absolutely loved this spot and she was comfy taking a little nap.
She attributed Ryan’s posing to years at Sears for portraits and what two year old (besides a photographer’s son) would want to post for pics!! Again…had fun chasing and caught some smiles. Ryan wanted to run free of mom, dad or brother’s arms.
