Modern Family Photography | Rancho Palos Verdes | Barrios Family

jillgirl — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:41:11 +0000

Tis the season to take family pictures! I usually have all of my family photography finished in October – but I was busy with so many other projects that all of my families had to wait until the very last moment. And this was the very last appointment for the season….GO TEAM BARRIOS! I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful or fun family to chase around and have a good time with….

Modern Family Photography | Scottsdale

When this spectacular family asked me to capture their pictures….I agreed on one condition: that they NOT wear matching outfits. Coordinating. Not matching. You see, I can be blunt like that because this family is MY family! Aunt Cat, Uncle Fred and my cousin Brian, his wife Molly and their two cuties who I call my niece and nephew even though I think they’re technically my second cousins? Anyway, we did this shoot at their house in the Arizona Desert.

I always ask Evan if he wants me to hold him like a little baby. He's always conflicted by this joke.

Jillian Modern | Album

FINALLY, somebody ordered a PINK album! When it came into the studio, I loved it so much that I gave it it’s own sexy photo shoot – right there in my living room (: Check out it’s supple leather cover, thick pages and sassy dust cover. It’s hot. I don’t want to part with it…I may have to order one of my own.

Everything fabulous happens in New York. This Christening celebration was no exception. Mariela sure knows how to throw a party! I was very honored to be the person to capture all the fun….

Dokoza Family | Modern Family Photography

Fall was here….then I blinked and it was gone. I couldn’t let this shoot slip past the blog. The Dokoza Family is one of the very first families I photographed when I was first starting my family business. It was such a pleasure when they called to let me know their family now had four and that my services were needed to re-tell the story of their family. I loved hanging in the pumkin patch and then later at the beach….thank you for catching up with me Dokoza Family! I look forward to helping to voice the story of your family over the years (:

Manhattan Beach Family Photography | Anniversary Shoot

jillgirl — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:00:46 +0000

Christina and Jennifer are a couple of GREAT GIRLS! But they wouldn’t have gotten that way if it weren’t for their AWESOME parents! So when mom and dad’s anniversary rolled around this year – the girls treated them to a weekend in the town where their parents met….Manhattan Beach! And to document their special time together, the girls asked me to do an ANNIVERSARY SHOOT for the whole family! There was a moment during the session when mom had a flood of emotion and memories and overall feeling of gratitude, that she began to tear up! I feel a little choked up just writing about it. The girls definitely gave their mom the perfect gift to commemorate her marriage. I can only hope to have kids this thoughtful one day! ….and perhaps a family that is as attractive as this one – don’t ya think?

Modern Family Photography | Brianna and Colleen | Venice Beach

Brianna’s baby sister came to visit her this summer for a few weeks (what a score to have a big sister that lives on the California coast!)…. being a good sister, Bri planned all sorts of fun things for the two of them to do – Mani’s/Pedi’s, 6 Flags, Beach Day, Shop till you Drop in Hollywood – you know, good time girly things. Obviously, the MOST fun thing on the list was a Sister Shoot with yours truly (: Sister Sesh’s are something I do on a regular basis….but this was my first shoot with sisters that were over the age of 7. It was fun and refreshing! Why do we stop doing Sister Photography when we hit a certain age? Maybe I’ll have to make a Sister Sitting Session Special to encourage more sisters to get together for a picture or two (: Thanks Brianna and Colleen for a fabulous afternoon, you two are too cute!

These are Kerry O’s kids. The first image showcases these two boys’ personalities just perfectly. You can immediately tell which of these kids is going to jump off the couch, pretend to punch himself in the NUTS and fake fall on the ground in agony. In the middle pic I asked the boys to “just be cool”. In true ‘Cool Like Fonze’ form, Diego thought it best to give a thumbs up for the camera. So ADORABLY cool!

Same Mother/Daughter duo from below…..this one was my favorite from their beach shoot. Am I the only one that’s bummed about this summer project to paint all the life guard stations in a bunch of wacky colors? Call me a traditionalist, but I’m quite fond of the standard light blue muted tones. It makes for pretty pictures….

In honor of Mother’s Day I’m posting this shot of a cool Mother/Daughter Duo. We were going through options of what to wear for the shoot. After numerous changes….this is what we came up with. I love the simplicity. And I love going topless!!! Because I work from home, I can do that from time to time. Haha, now there’s a good visual for ya.
