Jardine Family {Orange County, CA Family Photographer}

I have to admit that the anticipation for this shoot had me a little nervous... it was an extended family visiting from Utah, with 11 little kids, down at the beach, and me at 8 months pregnant.  However, I was pleasantly surprised.  Not one kid had a meltdown or tantrum and everyone posed and smiled as long as they needed to.  So unusual!  And it turns out that we had many personal connections - mainly that I studied abroad in Cambridge, England 13 years ago with the same person I had been communicating all the shoot details to for weeks!  Also, the grandparents know my parents, my grandfather operated on the grandfather, one of the girls worked with my cousin... Utah is a small world :)
