Santa Monica is one of my favorite places in greater Los Angeles. When the Mr. and I lived there, he worked over on the 3rd Street Promenade, so we spent a lot of time hanging out in that area (although very rarely on the actual beach). In a lot of ways, Los Angeles is like New York City in that, if you live in one neighborhood, you only leave it when you absolutely have to. As east coast transplants, we really tried to explore as many neighborhoods as possible. Whenever I go back to visit, it’s pretty awesome to have a good reason to head over to the west side! Lucky for me, this mama also loves the west side! We’ve actually done a couple of really wonderful photo sessions on the beach! This one was no different. I love when sessions give me a chance to catch up with client-friends and their kids! This guy is one of my favorites – full of energy and love. I absolutely adore him, and every chance I have to photograph him.
