ahhhhmmmaayyyzzzzyynnng! amazing! your favorite shot is mine as well! I love her yellow dress! So precious! Great work!

and on the 4th photo down Fred Egan swoops in to pick up the girl!

Jory, lol!!! Super funny, Jeff DOES look like Fred Egan in that pic! I thought he looked too familiar!

+1 for your favorite as well. i like your use of off-camera lighting. i can't remember if you usually use lights, but i'm glad that you are here. very well done!

I love how you're using flash and I love Jane's dress! Jane, where did you get your adorable dress?

Gosh, quite elegant, that dress is something else. The light in these images sings, crazy. Sublime, to say the least. Well done, as always.

I hope they print that last photo HUGE and hang it on a wall where it belongs - that is awesome.

This session is sooo beautiful! I love yellow and mood of this shoot!

these are fab, that last one is perfect!

Love this whole session & my favorite is your favorite!

Fred Egan in to swoop up the girl in the fourth photo FTMFW!!!

darn you justin and your lens baby goodness! How cute is this couple?! ....really cute :) love these shots guys!

love this session! 8th pic is rad!

Waouh! félicitations, ces images sont vraiment superbes, j'adore! congratulations:)

Gosh I love your pics!

great set amelia!

Adorable couple, beautiful pix. Would love to know about how they got engaged so I could post on my marriage proposal blog: proposalgirl.com.

awesome! good work.

Love that last shot. Nice work!

These are all fantastic! I love your black and whites. And your colors. Hah. Okay, so I'm wondering if you help pose your subject/give them ideas or if you leave it all up to them. I think the hardest thing for me is helping pose people while still letting them look unposed.

Do us all a favor and stop being so freaking good at photography. Thanks.

i love the shot in front of the blue boat...great session!

Beautiful work, Amelia. Love the one of them in the water.

OK dead serious comment: This post is so good I need some meds to come me down. Love you guys! and I love this post.

The image of the two of them in the water is to die for! Well done!

I know I've told you before, but I absolutely adore you!! I check my RSS feed every day hoping there will be a new post from you, and am giddy and excited when I follow the feed to your site! You inspire me on so many levels, and I'm so grateful for the influence you continue to be in my life, even from miles and miles away! You introduced me to Fit For Life (which changed my life, btw) and change my life yet again last year when you introduced me to photography (via this blog and Hudson's notorious circle toast!) Thank you, and have the loveliest of days!

Never fails -- the one shot that makes me stop and go "ohhh..." ends up saying "favorite shot of the day" above it. LOVE IT>

wow.. love the session.. such wonderful work! you are amazing

great pics!

they are so beautiful! i love her yellow dress.

awesome work, love your eye for those precious moments in time. the sun flair in some of these fotogs are super. come c us at dc photographers. dean

PERFECTION! EVERY single photo is amazing. :) I wanna be like you.

Technical question: in your favorite shot from the day did you use any extra lighting like off camera flash or was it all natural?

Oh, I just love these! They are pure childhood innocence and they just make me want to have a carefree day like a kid again. These are fantastic and really tell a great story.

Ok, your kids are ridiculously cute. I know everyone has said that already! I think you need to do some arranged marriage between hudson and grace. SERIOUSLY. They are super adorable. So fun for you guys!

I love how happy the boys look! The mud and sand and water looks like the perfect combination =)

swoanie is so cute!!!! we had such an awesome time with you guys. i'm thinking we should make it an annual trip :)

The picture of you and Sloanie snuggling sweetly is the sweetest thing I've ever seen!

Duuuude. I want a shark kite. That is rad.

I just had Jack sit down and I showed him these pictures. He loved seeing Hudson and "New Nuts". We'll be in Southern California in June!

I am so jealous!!! I love the pictures of you with Sloan- you are beautiful- crazy hair and all....

I haven't flown a kite since I was a kid. It looks so fun. I LOVE the shot of Amelia & Sloanie resting on her shoulder,,, definitley canvas worthy in my eyes. Hope you guys are having fun on your trip!!!

what a foxy mama. love the 3rd to last shot, such nice light on a pretty face. enjoy the vaca.

I adore the one of you and Sloan!

you guys are just too beautiful for your own good! rain has that same dragon kite! yay kites! :)

These photos are phenomimal. They make me want to do three things; 1. Fly a kite. 2. Have kids. 3. Take photos at Morro Bay. Any of the three would be great. Keep rockin' you guys. You're doing an incredible job.

Beautiful.... I had so much fun meeting the kids last night! Hudson and Grace were just soooo sweet!

These pictures alive......i can feel them. Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. These all just took my breathe away!

Isn't it great being a photographer and having just the absolute best images of your family to remember their childhood in such a better way than school or studio pictures could ever do?

This post totally makes me want to go fly kites!! Beautiful images! Sounds like you guys are having a fantastic vacation!

I LOVE the shots of Grace with her kite and the one of Hudson with his kite...those are works of art!!

incredible photos - ALL OF THEM. but i gotta ask, where did you get those amazing kites?!?

You guys are larger than life! I've always been in..."ringring", uh hang on a sec..."ringring", Roger:"hello...yeah that was me...oh yeah, well I was thinking of doing something a little more not like the mumblw mumble munnsrghhrghrrgh howwwerddrmmgghaagh". :by this time roger forgot what he was doing and wasn't finishing his sentences like usual. I guess you'll have to deal with it like everyone else. scatterbrain.

Amelia, you look so pretty in these! It looks like you guys had a great time.

you are such a sweet family. this is such a sweet set of fam photos..

Those are amazing. Love them.

These are so amazing!!! Wow! Your kids are so blessed to have so many fabulous photos during their childhood. I LOVE the photos with you in them!

Your favorite shot of the day is an excellent family shot =) It looks like you guys are all having fun!

beautiful, fun and exciting family shots. need to go an buy a kite or two for my little ones! Inspired ;-)

Oh these are amazing!! LOVE LOVE LOVE these. :) Such a wonderful family!!!

I love flying kites in Morro Bay! No better place to fly a kite! I am from MB and I miss it so much, thanks for the reminder of my beautiful home town.... amazing pics... can't wait to fly kites with my daughter when she's older.

First of all, you are BEAUTIFUL. And second, it's fun seeing these shots through your camera and then again through the Kaisers' cameras on their blog. It's like I was there now. :)

i love it love it...you've captured the holiday mood. Makes me wanna take my boy to the beach ;)

Wonderful.

what a great family trip! love all the photos especially the 8th one down of you holding your baby boy... so adorable. i'm heading to morro bay this weekend for a girls trip with my mom. can't wait!

I am convinced that the light is different in California. I must get out there and visit. Beautiful captures, beautiful family.

So these totally make me want to figure out how to fly a kite. Yep I said it and it's true I've never flown a kite, sad.

wow i just love the color image of you holding your son and your hair blowing...it captures the beautiful love a mother has for her child and a tender moment...

you're beautiful, you know that?

Amelia---these images are bananas! I am in love with this entire post. The ones of you and Sloan are sick! All of the shots of the kids on the beach. LOVE LOVE LOVE! You are always an inspiration!
