Jensen Family | OC Family Photographer

Meet the Jensens...such a beautiful family! I adore their smooth, caramel skin and dark brown eyes! Watch out girls! I kept assuring Tracy that even though they seemed bored and uncooperative at times, that we would get some great shots. And here is proof! We shot at the pier in Seal Beach, and the light was so beautiful, the subjects were gorgeous...how can you go wrong with that combo??? Enjoy...

Had to throw in one of the teenager on the phone...CLASSIC moment!

Samantha - Class of 2012 | OC High School Senior Photographer

Sam was great to photograph! She was willing to try whatever I asked her to try, and has the most beautiful, sparkling brown eyes!

The day we met for photos was also the first day of the Festival of Children at South Coast Plaza...little did I know! So it was crazy there...PLUS my phone decided to break that day, and so I had NO way of calling them to find out where they were! Right when I was about to give up and go home, I decided to go back and look one more time. And thankfully Sam was patiently waiting for me up on the bridge and needless to say we were both relieved! :)

Here is a peek at our session...which one is your favorite?
