Sweet Teeth | Los Angeles Baby Photography
August 26, 2010
I went to Philadelphia to photograph this family initially. Mom, who is a photographer, mentioned that she had never done professional photos before and wanted to capture her 5 year old twins while they are still young. So I flew in from California and spent the weekend with them. It is exciting to me that her children will be able to look back and see a glimpse of life before kindergarten~ love and snuggles from mom and fun play time with dad (who has a ton of knock-knock jokes ready at all times). It was not the easiest of times (near 100-degree temps make being outside unfun), but we did get beautiful moments!
There are others, but I think that’s enough for now!

Meet the Bretons | Los Angeles Baby Photography
August 25, 2010
I was able to photograph to photographer’s families last month in Philadelphia! (The other family will be posted tomorrow)
This is the family of Jennifer Breton:
The baby, “I” [voice like Barry White]:
“J” [total sweetheart]:
“R” [a gassy, beautiful, gassy girl]:
And of course, mom and dad [willing to help random strangers lift up their car and change the tire in the dark] :)
I think you can see for yourself how wonderful they are! :)

These are long overdue…. you may recognize this family from an entire gallery on my website!
Some children were more cooperative than others~ we did have lighting and “mood” challenges, and this image is a good summary of our time together:
In between those moments, there were some happy faces!
Can’t wait for our next session this fall!

As a family of 6 myself I know how crazy it is to think a photographer will be able to even get one good shot, and then you think I don’t want just one, I want pictures that show my family who they are! So I give up, thinking it’s not possible and I still have yet to do a family shoot. These brought tears to my eyes because I see it’s possible with you! You captured this family wonderfully!!!! I love love love every one of these images and look forward to your blog post once again! :)

It’s unreal the amount of talent you possess. I scroll through your posts (with complete joy) and I’m just blown away. There is no one else like you, Mindy Harris! I’m sad that I don’t have a Pastel session of my 5-year old twins. Maybe someday, when they’re older. A girl can dream…..
Mindy, you are AMAZING!! Absolutely mind-blowing!
Mindy – you are “hands-down” the VERY best family photographer! It’s all about capturing a feeling and you do it each and every time…amazing job!
