Hi Mr. Westover,

I took these pictures of my family at The Montage in Laguna Beach this past weekend. This is a place where my family loves to go. We love walking around the grounds and enjoying all of the scenery. I love my family and I love spending time with them at the beach. Thanks for giving me the chance to enter your contest.

2 month old Shaun Patrick at his Grandmas house in Mission Viejo, California.
Since Shaun was not old enough to drive to our studio, we photographed this very special boy at his grandmas house. Shaun has such an incredible and powerful soul, it is always so rewarding to me to see and feel the love that is shared between a baby and his mom.
