The Mittmans // Orange County Lifestyle Photographer
These folks are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside and it was such a joy to photograph this darling family! Whitney is an incredibly talented designer and event coordinator and anytime I get to spend time with her she just radiates joy. I am thankful to have had the chance to photograph these three and even more thankful to call them friends.

This beautiful couple and their three precious babies (yes, there are three babies in that bump!) are a testimony to God's grace and faithfulness. Desiree and Ryan have waited so long and prayed so hard for these precious little ones. Desiree writes eloquently of their journey through infertility on her blog - Our Journey to Parenthood. Her grace, honesty, and faith are so beautiful and these three babies are so incredibly blessed to have Ryan and Des for their parents. Plus, they are some of the best secret keepers out there! They told their family they were having twins and didn't tell them that they were having TRIPLETS until their gender reveal party!!! Is that the greatest surprise ever or what? I have no idea how they kept the secret, but you can watch the video of their reveal here - Triplet Gender Reveal. Seriously, watch it. It will make you cry sweet tears of happiness!
I've been mulling over shooting film (in addition to digital photos) for years. I love how film looks, the process, the thought that goes into each photo, the colors, the grain, the connection to the past ... I love it all. After documenting my personal family photos on film for a few months, this was my first family session shot entirely on film. I can't thank the Kent family enough for welcoming me into their home to document their family on a normal Saturday morning. They are beauty and kindness in family form.
Spending time photographing families is so special to me because I feel like I get to see a little glimpse of the soul of each family. This family has one of the most beautiful, fun-loving, and kind souls that I've ever captured. Their love for one another radiates out of every smile, every loving touch, and every good-natured joke. I loved the time I spent with this three precious people and I am thankful to call them friends!
