My very first holiday mini-session of the year! I usually hold all my sessions at Paramount Ranch in Agoura Hills. But I was more than happy to accommodate Xochilt’s request to have her family portrait done much closer to her and her family at Murphy Ranch Park in the City of Whittier. I was very eager to hold the session soon because  I just happen to be Xochilt’s fellow alumni at Carson High School in Carson, CA. So I could not wait to “catch up” with her even for just a moment. I was so happy to see her again and to finally meet her husband, Ruben, and their beautiful children. I drove one hour and half one very early Saturday morning, and I thought the session turned out really great! The location was beautiful and that morning light was just STUNNING!!!

Check out just a few of my favorites from this session:
