This is Autumn, Mike and baby Sienna. I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am about their portraits. Autumn is another person I went to junior high with and reconnected with through Facebook.
When Sienna was born six months ago I was dying to get the chance to shoot with them. I finally got the chance this past weekend. Me and Jamie drove to Long Beach to meet up with them.
Now, despite having grown up in Southern California and having lived here more or less all of my life, I am totally unfamiliar with Long Beach. Weird, right? My friend Lori gave me some pointers and we ended up at Shoreline Village.
The bright colors are EXACTLY what I was looking for and they make these holiday portraits really pop. LOVE. IT. It doesn’t hurt that the Roses are basically supermodels. 
We had so much fun hanging out with them and Sienna was so patient and sweet given the fact that she is teething and I kept putting my giant camera in her tiny face. Mike and Autumn are probably the two nicest people I have ever met (which is something I always remembered about Autumn from junior high!).
Hope these came out the way you wanted Mike and Autumn! I had the best time taking them.
