These guys were on vacation from NYC. Julian is such a great kid, he didn’t sit still for a second. Beautiful little thing.

Photographs shot on location in Laguna Beach, Orange County, California by Gillian Crane.
Been photographing Tisha’s family since Ava turned one – they throw the greatest parties! The kind w/ pony rides and balloon sculptors (?), face painting, etc. Check out that crown Ava’s wearing, they made that for the party!
As I reminisced about that first shoot, I looked through the old photos and got a little sad thinking about how fast kids grow up…every day is such a treasure. Time passes so quickly, I’m lucky to be able to document these moments for myself and others. Such a rewarding job.
This hot mama/author has a new book series coming out and she was going to tell me all about it at our photo shoot…but i realized later that it never came up! funny b/c we talked nonstop the whole time – several subjects going at once – 100 miles an hour! so fun! what does that tell you about this woman?! The most unassuming, down to earth famous person you’ll ever meet. I’ll ever meet. and isn’t her skin just “dewey”?! it’s not fair.
she chose the 4th photo for the author photo, but i loved this concrete wall and wanted to put some graffiti-like text against it.
check out the fabulous background in these photos! it’s crystal cove beach in laguna beach, it was a cloudy day, i lucked out. we were going to start off our shoot w/ a mojito at the beachcomber http://www.thebeachcombercafe.com/_crystalcove/index.aspx , but life got in the way and there was no time.
lisi hates having her picture taken, would you ever have guessed?
