"A mother's love for her children is like nothing else in the world." ~Agatha Christie

This sweet mama loves her kiddos with all her heart and it was such a blessing to capture it on film.  I watched as they laughed and chatted and really connected.  I'm so glad she decided to take the time to document her family just as they are, before her oldest daughter heads to college this next fall.  These moments are fleeting, and it's so important to capture them before they are gone. Enjoy some favs from their family session at the park.

Each year I look forward to seeing the familiar faces of some of my most loyal families.  They come back to me year after year to document their families as they grow and mature.  I've had the honor of welcoming new babies as well as reconnecting with those kiddos who have grown up and headed off to college.  It's always a good time and I always wish I had more time to catch up.  This year I offered a couple dates and this one was at the always breathtaking Myrtle Creek Gardens and Nursery in Fallbrook.  My clients are always wowed by this location and seem to find their way back at another date to enjoy all that it has to offer.  I got to work with four families in that golden hour light and we created beautiful images.  Enjoy some of the favs!

Kayla {Class of 2019} | Senior Portraits | Wendy Childress Photography

This girl! She's a bit of sunshine!  I had a great time capturing Kayla's senior portraits.  I've known this girl and her family since she and my daughter were in 1st grade.  I've had the opportunity to photograph their family multiple times and was happy to photograph her for her senior year.  She's a fun girl and can laugh at her self, as shown in the first image.  We had some good belly laughs as she twirled in that field.  She's about to embrace a new chapter in her life, and I know she's gonna kick butt. Congrats Kayla! Here are a few of our favs!
