W Family- Lillie Biesinger: Coachella Valley Family Photographer

I'm thinking I might turn to these thumbnail collages to get through these holiday shoots faster. Oh so much quicker-- phew!

I love chatting with people through email and then finally getting to meet them 'for real' behind my camera. I knew I liked Mollie in her emails... but I couldn't have hoped for a better, brighter, genuinely LAUGHY mama. Oh how I love a laughy family... I think it helped that this was during our 'cold week' of 70's... so we were actually comfortable running around.... first time I've left a shoot without sweaty-head.

And is it just me or does this darling little girl look a little like Milla Javovich?

Thanks Mollie for coming to me with your gorgeous family!

Did I mention most of my best friends in the world are pregnant? She's one of 'em.

This is Rachelle. aka Miss Chelle. She did the at-home preschool last year that Sophia still begs for. She's got two boys--- that keep her hands ESPECIALLY full (one has autism), and is expecting.... but. another. Boy that is.

You can hold the chubby little girl hands of my Mila any time you need your fem-fix Rachelle... but personally, I can't wait for you to have one more precious boy.

Our friends Kim and Dave and their little Kanon--- He's a year now... he was one of my first at 6 months... and he just keeps getting cuter!

This is Xavier... he was so happy and OBEDIENT--- There's nothing like the genuine smile of a child. What a doll.

And this is Heather, and these are her shoes. GORGEOUS right? The both of them? That smile, that coloring... oh I could have taken pictures of her all day--

Thanks Heather! It was so fun to finally meet you in person! Hope I didn't embarrass you too much with the snakes in my hair...

Some of my favorites so far... A Family Reunion- Lillie Biesinger: San Diego Family Photographer

Obviously if I had it my way I would have just chased the kids around for a couple of hours and gotten tons of each of their GORGEOUS faces. Seriously...
