The Beckfords. A Family

I love Lance and Ashley Beckford. They are one of my favorite couples, and I can’t wait for them to start having kids, because they are going to be ridiculously cute. Last year for Ashley’s birthday, I gave her a free photo shoot (valued at $1,000,004), and she’s had it on their fridge for over a year now. Well it finally came time where we could figure out what kind of shoot she wanted and plan a time to do it. A little family shoot for their Christmas cards, and just some fun pictures to put around the house. We went to Old Town Glendora and walked around and just shooting wherever we felt like. It was a fun day filled with trying to get their new puppy, Oreo, to look at the camera, and Lance and Ashley to not make crazy faces while leaves were falling down on them. All in all, it was a great time, and just hanging out with these two is always a blessing. Lance and Ashley, if you’re reading this, start making some babies! Love you guys!

The Zitts. A Family

Jarred and Katie make adorable kids, that’s just a fact. I met this couple last year when Moment first started, and grew to love them quickly. I was in a small group with Jarred, Katie, and a few other married couples with kids. It was a great time to learn about married life and babies (half of the wives in the group were pregnant), but after a while it was time for me to be in a group with single people as well. Katie and Jarred have a perfect mix, Katie is very outgoing and Jarred is very quiet (until you get him talking about something he’s passionate about, then he’ll talk your ear off, and it’s awesome to see him fired up, so I let him). Not only are Katie and Jarred really fun and awesome, they have 2 adorable kids. Madelynn and Nolan are so much fun. Right now Nolan is kind of a little terror, and “no” is his favorite word, but at the same time, he’ll flash you a look (he knows what he’s doing too!) that will melt any heart, he’s so cute it’s insane. Madelynn calls me “Mr. Matt” and we had a blast on this shoot. From her having me pick out my favorite bracelet of hers to holding hands while we walked to different spots, we were friends all day. After this shoot, we all went back to Katie and Jarred’s and had dinner together (home cooked meals are the best!). I love this family, and can’t wait to shoot with them again really soon.

The Mascarins. A Family

This is one of my favorite families of all time. I’ve known Derek and Janna for years (before they had kids) and have always loved them. I played on Janna’s worship team, and was in their small group as well. I’ve had countless amazingly prepared meals by Janna and laughed til it hurt endless times because of Derek’s endless wit. These kids culminate everything that is good from their parents; from their award winning looks, to amazing senses of humor and style, they have it all. I don’t doubt that they’ll be musically talented and insanely smart as well, only time will tell. This shoot was a blast, with most of it being candid shots (the boys don’t like smiling for the camera yet) but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
