Summer is here! Well, almost. Every year I jump the gun on summer, but in So Cal it’s just so easy :) Here are a few favorite moments from recent portrait shoots. And even though summer hasn’t technically begun, these are simply my favorite things to do during summertime!
Be silly and eat cake…
…Celebrate! with Sparklers…
…spend time outside just lying around on a blanket (nakedness optional yet highly recommended)…
…put on your new summer dress!…
…go to the beach, and actually go in the water…
…enjoy ice cream! on a cone, with a friend…
…just lie in the grass and let summer happiness wash over you :)
…and even if it’s not summertime yet where you are, I hope ice cream is in your near future :)

The photos took back me to my childhood days! they’re marvellous and very creative.
I got reminded of my childhood and lazy summer times having lots of joy and eating ice cream.
i like the face painting pics and the birthday cake – very fun!
Love the face painting! The color is beautiful.
And there is nothing cuter than baby butts!
Great pictures, reminds me I need to take my kids to the zoo for some face painting!
Delightful! Pure joy in these pictures. Christa. You really are an artist.
Delightful! Pure joy in these pictures. Christa. You really are an artist. My favourite is the one with the sparklers. They are mezmerized!
Christa,
Your shots are great and as always capture the joy and moment. Summertime, best time of the year.
I could see the innocence and happiness of each and every kid. Awesome photos!!
Really Christa, your art of capturing the moments of joy is great. ps. The best is to lie down naked in the grass.
I love the way yoy have managed to potray the essence of innocence clubbed with naughtiness in each of those children’s eyes. Every frame is commendable. Every picture is unique.
“just lie in the grass and let summer happiness wash over you” – Superb Christa.
This is one of the most amazing photography blogs I have come across on the Internet. Keep up the good work.
very nice pictures, i really love the pic of the baby girl with her summer dress standing on the grass, so cute :)
I really enjoyed these photos! You really captured the fun and the innocence of childhood :) GREAT job!
Christa, U have captured it well – the fun of childhood…. Awesome pics!!!!
Wow, as an old amateur photographer, now I know why I gave up, I could not match the charm your pictures have.
Lovely bright pictures!!! I love the summer sunshine!!! and of course the beaches and ice-cream!!!
These are great. I really like the bw birthday and summer dress photo.
Your photos scream summertime and are so much fun! I, too, love the birthday party and face painting shots… so beautiful! Those memories are going to be cherished in such a special way because of how you documented the moment. Great job. Thanks for posting.
