last weekend we had a family session with jasmine johnson. we had so much fun–can’t you tell? the boys were comfortable and happy and we explored morro bay while she snapped pics.  and i love, love the way they turned out.  she completely captured us!  and good news for locals!! she’s giving away one family session which includes a 60-90 minute session (on location) with online proof gallery and a $50 print credit.  so fun!! leave a comment and tell us where your favorite place is for family pictures.

    They turned out great. Boys look like they are having so much fun! You don’t see that much in family photos.

  13. jeannett on December 1st, 2009 3:15 pm

    Favorite place? For now, I think Avila Valley Barn. Henry is TOTALLY obsessed with tractors and all farm type stuff! Love them, would love to update our family photo now that the girls are here! :)

  16. April on December 1st, 2009 3:32 pm

    We love getting pictures taken in a park - with the leaves falling. They capture fall which is our favorite time of year. :)

  20. Shana Stoll on December 1st, 2009 5:56 pm

    i just had to pop in a say “beautiful pictures”. i’m not at all local, so don’t count me in on the contest, but i had to let you know how great they are. i especially love the black and white one closer up. we had some family pics this summer and i just love looking at them and haven’t tired of it yet!
    blessings,
    shana

  21. Rebecca on December 1st, 2009 6:59 pm

    Beautiful pics!!!
    We would definitely drive the 3 hours to SLO to get also so great pics - I’m NOT kidding!
    We would choose the beach…

  22. Kristen Borland on December 1st, 2009 7:57 pm

    those are sooo great!!

  23. Rhea on December 1st, 2009 11:01 pm

    Awesome pictures of an awesome family! Thanks for sharing them!!!

  24. Lisa Miklas on December 1st, 2009 11:03 pm

    We will be in SLO for Christmas with our extended family. We have never done a shoot with all 4 cousins - what fun that would be! We love Avila barn, the Mission, the park by the high school - what an awesome contest.

  25. Karen Brown on December 1st, 2009 11:27 pm

    The pics are beautiful! LOVE the first one and the b/w!

    So…my question is…what do you use in your hair to make those curls so gorgeous? I had curls like that and then had three babies and now they have turned to fuzz. My hubby asked me the other day what I did with his curly-haired wife. (Never underestimate the power of hormones!)

  26. the1stdaughter on December 2nd, 2009 12:30 am

    Beautiful pictures! She’s amazing and I’m always looking for a good photographer nearby. One of our favorite spots from visiting for the summers and now that we are in SLO permanently would have to be Montana de Oro. It’s just beautiful and I’d love to have some nice family pictures their someday. Thanks again!

  27. Candace on December 2nd, 2009 12:50 am

    The beach of course! The sun, the sand, the breeze, the water……can’t beat that in California!

  28. Abby Spina on December 2nd, 2009 12:51 am

    I love the Morro Bay Shell Shop! Your pictures are beautiful!

  29. penny on December 2nd, 2009 1:25 am

    I actually love where you chose to have your shots taken! Beachy without the beach! :-)

  30. Kristin Smith on December 2nd, 2009 2:16 am

    Your pictures are beautiful and totally capture your fun family! My husband and I grew up in CA but we moved away for a while and then moved back to SLO a year ago with our two little ones. We moved here from Colorado…so we have lots of family pictures in the mountains, but I would love love love to have some family pictures taken at the beach!

  31. Randi Krog Belseth on December 2nd, 2009 3:58 am

    Awwww, beautiful pictures!

    1) love seeing David having one of his tooth fell out
    2) my younger son, Ryan would go crazy for Shell Store- he collects this as a hobby.
    3) Seeing you and Steve still in love makes me smile :-)
    4) Matty is getting more handsome each day

  44. Emily on December 5th, 2009 4:54 pm

    I LOVE your family photos Lisa!!! Looks like all of you were having so much fun! On our wedding day, my mom and I did not get a pic together and our photographer only got one pic of my family. So treasure those amazing photos friend! xo

  45. Joanna on December 6th, 2009 10:53 pm

    I love Shell Beach down by the rocks, Montana De Oro, and Downtown Pismo…but really, I don’t think you could go wrong with Julie behind the camera…
    We’re local and would love this prize!!1
