When I was in Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago I saw many of my wonderful repeat clients and a few new ones too. The day that I visited the W family in Manhattan Beach we were surrounded by the Los Angeles fires to the north, south and east of us. The sky was orange and everything was glowing and it made it really hot, it sure didn’t feel like November, more like July.
I think this is the fourth time I’ve photographed these kids and I just love them, they are so much fun and it’s neat to see how much they change each time I see them. Little Miss A was just learning to sit up when I first met her and now she’s a toddler, time sure does fly. Here are a few from our afternoon together.
First off I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the wonderfully sweet comments, emails, phone calls and letters I’ve received since I announced that I will be leaving Los Angeles at the beginning of August. Seriously I am in tears over all of the kindness and love that has been sent my way, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to wish my family well, it means the world to me!
As I mentioned we are trying to pack in a lot of personal family things before we leave California and of course we couldn’t leave without putting our Disney Annual Passes to good use. Today we went for the last time before we move to Atlanta. We enjoy going so much and some of our super awesome friends joined us today to make it even better. It started out gloomy and cold but it quickly warmed up and was a beautiful sunny day! We sure will miss just being a 30-45 minute ride down the freeway from Disneyland. Of course now we will be closer to Disneyworld in Florida, my husband and children have never been so you know it will be on our to do list! Although we will all be able to get our Disney fix next month, we are going on the Disney cruise leaving from just a few miles from our home and will be cruising to various places in Mexico.
Now I’m sure you all remember the last time I took my point and shoot camera to Disneyland and tried to get a video of my daughter on the tea cups and it went a little something like this (and just ignore my voice because I swear I cannot believe that’s how I sound, ICCK! ICCK!) Someone has way too much sass for her own good
But today, she was in a much much better mood on the teacup ride (again, my voice = annoying so tune it out)
Of course Snow White had to make her final appearance before leaving
They even have a huge letter C right out in front, I think it stands for Calderon or maybe even Californiangela (ok or maybe California Adventure, but come on, humor me will ya? )
You mean she volunteered for the Snow White shot? I am amazed. Only a shot with a costumed character holding her down (preferably Elmo) would keep my daughter in one spot for more than a nanosecond!!! Love the giant C……my daughter’s initials are CCC so I would have **attempted** a shot on the C as well. Can’t wait for more pics. And, I don’t think your voice is annoying at all. Of, course, I live in Nashville, so I would probably sound funny to everyone in California, lol.
These are great Angela, I loved hearing your voice, to us Aussies you all sound a little funny LOL. Love the C shot, perfect. And snow white is as gorgeous as can be. We are going to Disney for our first time next year and we just know it’s going to be amazing.
oh wow, your moving. I know its a sad thing for you and your family, but Im sure you will make the best of your new home right? I wish you the best and I hope you enjoy your trip too!
Angela I’m so excited for you and your family as you embark on this new adventure! I love the videos! Such a photographer’s child , and her snow white portrait is adorable. The C most definately is there for you! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the great state of Georgia!
ah, there’s a disney on the east side too! love these pics – your kids are adorable!

And I remember last years video very clearly! what a difference a year makes! So funny!
I would miss it too! I still miss living close to Disney World. You are going to have such an adventure with this move, though! Can’t wait to read all about it.
