This last Wednesday I had the pleasure of visiting one of my favorite clients, Rachel Yousif, in one of my favorites cities, Manhattan Beach. It was especially fun because I got to meet her little angel, Baby Zachary for the first time. I’ve known Rachel for several years and up until now we’ve pretty much matched up, child for child. My son Jaden was born in March 2006, her son Benjamin was born within a couple weeks. Likewise with my son Maddy and her daugher Julia were born in the Fall of 2007. Of course now she’s passed me up with child #3..!
Baby Zachary was born in early October and I had the joy of capturing some of his little features and Rachel’s tender, motherly interactions. This was my first time shooting in Rachel’s home in Manhattan Beach and I was immediately impressed with her style and choice of decor. We started shooting in her bedroom… it was clean, white and beachy with a nice illuminating window light. After a series of images in various ways, my favorite images came with Rachel playfully laying on her bed, cuddling, cooing and kissing her baby boy.
From there we went to a seaside park. Chasing and playing with Ben & Julia was truly a delight. The last image in the series below is one of my favorites. Ben is smothering his sister julia with kisses.. the look on her face is priceless!!!
