the people: power family ~ irvine family portraits

I have gorgeous clients. Seriously, just look at every single blog post. All portfolio worthy. I’m a lucky gal. Today’s post is no exception.

The Power family was one of the inaugural families of hanssie trainor: photography. They took a chance and allowed me, a green, shooting on “P” mode, unable to grasp what ISO was, had no idea what the heck I was doing, mom with a camera, to photograph their family, to see if I “actually could do it.” The results: CLICK HERE. Thankfully, they were easy and therefore made me look like a fabulous photographer.

One and a half years later, they added one more to their clan. They are still all beautiful but I no longer shoot in “P” and I know what ISO is, but don’t ask me about shutter speed or anything like that–haha! (I kid, I kid)

I don’t really do newborn sessions because, well, I’m just not that good at them and babies don’t like me. Case in point:

Upcoming post: Joan & Chris ~ engagement

the people: barnes family ~ claremont family portraits

They are just like any other family.
With five kids.
Well behaved (pretty much and I can see them shaking their heads but it’s true!)
All gorgeous.
They say “Cheese” when the camera is pointed at them…in harmony.

Okay, so not like any families I know…

Cheese Cheese. Cheese. Cheese. CHEESE!!!

What do you expect from parents that are musicians? !

Last year, I photographed this beautiful family (See that post HERE) and I just love seeing each child another year older.
