The Johansen Clan: San Diego Family Portraits

I've had the great opportunity to take pictures for JJ & Krissa and their super cute little boy, Kale. A few weeks ago it so happened that JJ's family was in town...coming from Michigan, Arizona, and Santa Clarita. One of the siblings was about to move their family to Lithuania for a couple of years, so this would be the best shot at getting some family pictures done. I love shooting families and this family was no exception. Everyone was soooo nice and I can't believe how well behaved the kids were. If we have kids we might have to get tips from them. :)

They were staying in Oceanside and with all the kids we needed to be quick. We decided to shoot just outside the condo. We were rebels and got up on the lifeguard tower even though Anika, the oldest of the kids, kept informing us that the signs said keep off. Luckily her parents somehow were able to explain that some rules are breakable. :)
