What a beautiful family I got to photograph by a pretty Spanish style building near Thousand Oaks recently!

Jessi and Soheil are very dear to me as we share our parenting journey together from when our boys were little babies. Not only that but they are also an international couple: Soheil came to US almost 10 years ago from Iran while Jessi is from Colorado.

When you meet them, you can’t help but feel how sweet, intelligent, and kind they both are! Soheil works as a research scientist, and Jessi is a group fitness instructor and a personal trainer. They complement each other perfectly as Jessi is very outgoing and social while Soheil prefers to be on a quiet side 🙂 They love seeing movies, biking, traveling, finding new coffee shops and restaurants which I also think is so fun!

They have the cutest boy Kian who is 2.5 years old. It can take him a little bit of time to warm up to people but once he does, he will charm you with the biggest smile and a warm hug!

Also they have big news: recently they welcomed an adorable little girl Liliana into this world! I couldn’t be happier for them!

Jessi & Soheil, I truly admire your love for each other and how you can find joy in little things! I’m SO honored to capture your beautiful family. Thank you for trusting me with that!
