Sciammas Family – Liberty Station Point Loma, San Diego Family Photography

Let me take you back to August when I met up with the Sciammas family for another session. This time included their grandmother who traveled all the way from Israel for an extended stay here in San Diego. It was a typical family session with little ones which means I divide my time between running around to capture the kids and assuring all the adults that even though the kids aren’t behaving in the way that the parents would prefer that it’s all good and we are getting plenty of good stuff. It’s like I’m a robot on repeat during sessions like this one because I’m constantly saying the same thing only it’s different families that I’m saying it to. One day my work will speak so strongly that no one will ever doubt that the chaos we are all experiencing is actually making for fantastic photos. I’m a bit cynical and sarcastic today but it’s only because I’m so tired. I love my job for reals and it’s families like this one that keep me wanting more.

Ricci Family – San Diego, Ocean Beach Sunset Cliffs Family Photography

I have been tackling more and more extended family sessions. This one came to me as a referral from one of my all time favorite photographers, Jasmine of Let’s Frolic Together. She is my wedding photographer unicorn and I think her work is incredible. She calls on me from time to time to second shoot with her and as long as my schedule permits, I always say yes! Working for her is one of the biggest compliments to me and I am always flattered to work alongside of her. I met this family on the day of one of the weddings I was helping Jasmine photograph. It was this amazing Joshua Tree desert union and I couldn’t believe my good fortune to be there shooting any of it! Since Jasmine spends the majority of her time shooting weddings, I am the benefactor of all her amazing referrals for family photos. I always feel a little bit of anxiety before shooting a large group like this and in my head I always ask myself what the hell I am going to do with all these people. Somehow it always works out and sometimes after it’s all said and done I feel as if I must have blacked out and don’t know how I got through it. It can be a daunting task to work with so many people and try to remember everyone’s name but names are my thing and I like to get it right if I can. People get my name wrong all the time and it makes me mental! I get Joel, June, Julie, Jenny, Joe. I find it to be an aggravating feeling when someone butchers my name so I always make a point to work just as hard on remembering everyone’s names while I am shooting. Oh and then I go home and take notes so I never get their names wrong. So blah, blah, blah, lots of people, my name is Jill and I can shoot the shit out of your extended family photos. Enjoy the next few billion photos I pulled from this session.
