Ethan and Grant | Santa Cruz Portraits

This is a start my catching up blogging {I have some of the most incredible things to share!} - and I'm sure all you workin' peoples waiting for 5pm today will enjoy a new post!

I've had the pleasure of shooting both Ethan and Grant since they were babies, and their parents since before the boys were born! Rene and John are some of my oldest clients - pretty much since I started! I am grateful for families like them who have stuck bye me for all these years - approaching 10 years now, I opened Allyson Magda Photography - time sure does fly!!!

We shot Ethan's 2 year old photos a couple of weeks ago - I think his personality shines through pretty clear in these shots.





big brother Grant...











In this family {like mine too} the dogs are just as important as the people!
here's Rudy and Shep:

Tyler is 2!!

Tyler has just turned 2! He's full of personality and is very interested in tractors...trucks...dumptrucks, you know, the boy stuff. You might recognize him from my website - he's the darling little guy in the grass, with the amazing and large blue eyes! It's always my pleasure to get to capture the growth of kids and families. Since I shot Tonya and Dave's wedding, I have gotten to see so many happy moments in their lives, and it's truly an honor! thanks guys!


LOVE LOVE LOVE this shot!...
Mommy and daddy are still in love...

Gavin 9 months

Katherine & James have been clients, well since they got married. Now they're more like friends. It's been fun to watch their family grow! Gavin is already 9 months and is truly a beautiful little boy. Isn't he just a cutie?!
