I’ve been hanging on to this set for a little bit now as some of the photos were meant to be used in a slideshow for Rob’s 40th birthday (yeah 40… you’d never think by looking at the photos hu? Behold… the power of photoshop ).

I’ve allowed myself a silly comment up there simply because these guys are not just an incredibly good looking family, but they’re also very close friends. It was an absolute pleasure to not only be able to spend some time with them having fun taking some portraits, but also watching their family and friends’s reactions at the birthday party when they saw the slideshow Good times.

Happy 40th Birthday Rob (it’s actually on the 10th for the record)!!!

Ok, enough of the talk… let’s let the images start doing the talking:

Here’s the handsome little man of the house:

I had never given this much thought… but while shooting this session I realized one benefit of the subjects being friends… sometimes you don’t even have to say “Ok, let’s insert a little clown in here for levity” … in fact … ahem… quite the opposite

Oh help me, help me! My eyes…. they burn!!!

Oh no! Not that kissing thing again!!!

This last shot was the only one I had specifically planned for the slideshow… as it turns out Rob and Dalia’s son Christianbears an incredible resemblance to what his dad looked like at his age, it’s amazing actually!

Rob, Dalia and Christian… thank you so much for being our friends. I hope you enjoy the photos

The whole set can be seen on our proofs site.

Had a blast photographing this wonderful family in Downtown Hollywood.  The weather was great, the light was fantastic and Rosie and Joel were awesome, open to trying all sorts of different things and having a good time!

Here’s what happens when you leave a 6 year old loose while you’re getting your camera equipment out of your trunk

I Love this one

Here’s another one of my favorites… nose to nose

I still can’t believe his mommy let me plop him up there!!!  ok, ok there was soft Astroturf below … and I did shoot it from an angle that would make him look higher up than he really is

“Where do you think you’re going young man?” … ok I have to admit it… it’s a total setup

Guys, thank you for a great session.  Joel thanks especially to you for being such a good sport and going along with all the setups and all, thumbs up for sure!

Had a great Family Session on the beach a few weeks back with the Skori family. Amanda and Aly are adorable… even while eating sand and Mom and Dad were lots of fun to shoot with.

Big thanks to Nadia Rodriguez who came out to assist, shoot, and as it turned out… Babysit : )

Here are some of the photos from the session:
