Beautiful Family ~ Greg & Krista & Dax

We couldn't wait to get to their house. We hadn't seen Dax since he was a few weeks old and we knew he would be even cuter now...eight months old and MOBILE!!! Originally, we were supposed to do their session at a park near their home. But Greg had a vision...it involved the rooftop of their apartment building. When his mother was a child, she and her family lived in an apartment building on the East Coast. All the kids in the building used to go up to the roof to play, lay out in the sun, and hang out. At night, they would lie under the stars, enjoying the warm summer evenings. Faith Ringgold wrote a book, called Tar Beach, about those black tar rooftops where kids spent their summers. So, this vision, in a sense, is dedicated to Greg's mom. The view from Greg and Krista's apartment building was STUNNING! You could see for miles and miles and the Getty Center was in the background. Even though it was quite chilly up there, we had a blast!

This is probably our most favoritest (I think that's a word!) photos of the day!

Thank you once again, Greg, Krista, and Dax, for inviting us into your home! We are so excited that you will soon be a little closer to us and we will get to see Dax grow up. You are such a beautiful and special family to us!
