Family Portrait Session – Priya, Jeet, & Ajala

Local Long Beach residents Priya and Jeet wanted to celebrate their new family with some family portraits of themselves with their beautiful baby girl, Ajala. We even found a few good shots with the family dog to really round out the photo shoot.

They have a wonderful historic 1922 craftsman home which they have been working on for awhile now. So we made sure to include shots of the backyard garden with pond and some of the awesome curb appeal of the home.

Fantastic family, wonderful to work with and couldn’t have gone any better. Thank you Priya, Jeet, & Ajala.
