World Cup Inspired Family Portrait

Last Saturday, it felt like summer had come… finally. (But if you took a look outside right now, you would think it’s February still.) We all met up at Irvine Regional Park, my new favorite shooting place and I met the family. Jeanine’s father, Ron, was celebrating his 60th birthday with the whole family… and to celebrate, they had the wonderful idea of planning a soccer themed photo shoot. According to Jeanine, Ron’s all about soccer… and I’m sure they’re all thoroughly enjoying the USA vs. England match right now! Since it was so warm out, we hung out in the shade to take some classic AYSO-esque individual shots…

And another big reason for the photoshootin’ occasion was the fact that Ron has two uber cute grandchildren… Zoe and Wilson!

I’m pretty sure this picture made me laugh out loud in public when I was editing through this shoot…

After hanging out in the shade for a bit, Papa Ron warmed Wilson up for the big game… he’s just learning how to walk!!! What a special moment for the both of them!

After everyone was good and sweaty, we all climbed up into a gigantic tree and took some more fun family shots!
