Kissling Family Portraits at Balboa Park

September 4, 2009

Wow! It was definitely HOT this week! Even though we scheduled this session at 9 a.m. it was still 90 degrees and climbing rapidly! That didn’t stop us from having fun though :)

Miranda is a photographer in Ohio with her own website, gloriaphotography.com.
She is one of 4 siblings. She spent about half of her childhood in California. They lost their mom a few years ago and unfortunately their little sister just passed away a couple of weeks ago so they are taking the time to focus on the important things in life, like spending time with loved ones.

Miranda had this to say:
“Right now I find it so encouraging to focus on the joy that children bring and to celebrate the relationships I have with the family that are still around. When I look back on the photos I will be reminded of how grateful I am for my family at this time in my life…pictures bring me so much joy!”

I was very honored that another photographer would choose me to shoot such important family portraits!

Being a professional photographer, Miranda knew how to dress the family… everybody was wearing bright colors and the girls had beautiful flowers in their hair. They even brought a sun umbrella with them.

We photographed the family at the Spanish Village in Balboa Park. She grew up in San Diego and Balboa Park was her favorite place as a kid. It has great colors and good lighting….so it was the perfect spot. She also happens to be 27 weeks pregnant so we threw a few maternity portraits in there too :)

    Beautiful, colorful, happy family. It all shows in these pictures and Balboa Park is perfect for color laced pictures. Great job.

Beautiful Charlotte!

We had the awesome opportunity to photograph a mother-to-be and friend, Charlotte. Charlotte has been cutting Lisa’s hair for nearly 12 years…. Thank you for keeping it long!!
We chose Balboa Park as the backdrop. We love the Spanish Village because its so fun and colorful!

We can’t wait to take pictures of your beautiful baby boy!

    These are wonderful Lisa and Ross! I love them all, but the one with her reflection in the water is breathtaking. What a beautiful Momma to be! I must say that I love that you two are working together. It gives me hope that my husband will someday be my business partner. :)

    Love these shots, she looks so beautiful. Love the way you framed the baby with the butterfly bush. Great job you two.
