Ventura Holiday Family Photographer | Ventura, California Weding & Portrait Photographer | Donya J Photography

Thursday October 3rd!

It's hard to believe we are at that time of year again, but here we are! It’s time to start thinking about your holiday photo sessions and custom holiday cards. Now I know what you’re thinking – “whoa, school is JUST starting, it’s not even fall yet!” But really, this time of year is crazy busy and there are only so many days in a week… and they are filling fast!

I'm leaning toward Arroyo Verde Park in the morning and Ventura Beach/Pier in the afternoon, with sunset photos (whoever that lucky person/baby will be)!  10:00am to 6:00pm. If you have a baby, then the park is the way to go.

The time slots are 15 minutes and if you want siblings or you in the photo you will need to book 30 minutes.   I am a shoot and share Photographer, so you will receive ALL High Resolution, edited images in a downloadable online gallery.  

$55 for 15 minutes and $85 for 30 minutes.

Please text call or text me with 2-3 desired times you want. 805-616-8136, then I will call you to discuss details and where to meet. If you could show up 5 minutes early for your session as well to assist and make the day go smoother that would be Awesome.

Please have your child dressed and bring all desired clothing changes and such. If your child doesn't walk yet please let me know.

Also, if you can't make this one, no worries, I typically do this 2-3 times a year to help out my 

Mommy friends.

If you're not familiar with my work, please feel free to check me out.  Ventura Family Photographer

I had a difficult time choosing just one:

This is the flower series....

I am so inspired by the shapes in these three!

Had to throw my beautiful daughter into it as well!!

Does anyone know what this is???

 

Hollywood Beach Fun

Hollywood Beach is also on Channel Islands in Oxnard.
How lucky are we!

Visiting the beach is a special family outing. Maya likes to bring along her toys:  all animal print accoutrement's and don't forget her teething giraffe, Sophie.  Dad likes Maya to wear her Dodger's hat although they did not do too well this year.

Maya got a new hat to keep the sun out of her eyes, 
it's a little big! :)

We decided to check out Ventura Harbor as well.  
Maya rode a Dolphin!

Plus there's a pool...gotta put on sunblock before we go out in the sun!  It was so cold, but we both love the water.

Across the harbor is a park for Maya to swing, play on the slide, ride the dolphin and play with my Mommy and Daddy on the seesaw!  I couldn't stop laughing when we put her on the swing...see the video, I know I sound like a crazy mother, but I was so happy to see her so happy.
