Emma is ONE!!  She just had her first ever birthday party this weekend, and it was a tropical paradise and a fabulous celebration of her first 365 days.  How do I know all of this?  Well, Victoria is one of my best friend’s friends.  We’d never met before, but I felt like I’d known her forever!

Together, we explored Oak Canyon Nature Center which is a super cool spot tucked away in Anaheim Hills!!  We didn’t have to go far for awesome photos, and we didn’t even scratch the surface of all the park has to offer, so I’ll definitely be back for some weekend nature walks.  These three amigos drove all the way from Temecula and graciously met me halfway.  Some of my favorite photos from their family session are the ones on the bridge – the light, the greens, mmm perfection!  Have fun!!  I know we did!  😉

Some of the cutest pictures take place at the very end of the shoot, in the parking lot…
